I generally set things up so that my VM's are in full screen mode, and also make sure to have enabled control-left / control-right to move from between virtual screens. I don't usually use a mouse, but when I need a family member to do something they can. Let me know if you need more specifics.

Ok, since most work from home jobs these days want you to have a PC, I had to bight the bullet and get windows 10 with vm fusion 11. I got it installed, but for some reason the mouse won’t click in the search box or any app for that matter. Trying to get Jaws, but since the mouse won’t work,
