Re: Fusion and switching between operating systems
Jeff, Are you switching to full-screen mode when you are focussed on VMWare? You should generally need to do this once when you first start your VM.

Re: Fusion and switching between operating systems
Hi Mike and All, Am I the only one who doesn't experience issues of this sort? I have only needed to turn VO off when dealing with my Linux VM, which doesn't have the VmWare tools installed. My WIndows VM, by contrast, does, and I have never ran into issues of focus when using it. The most I'll occasionally run into is a key conflict between a VO key and a WIndows VM key, which is easy enough to bypass with vo-tab. If anything, full-screen mode presents more issues for me, specifically when resuming a suspended vM. Best, Zack. On Jun 22, 2011, at 4:35 PM, Mike Arrigo wrote: > Here is the way I solve this.

Re: Fusion and switching between operating systems
Here is the way I solve this. Once in the virtual machine, turn off voice over and press command control enter, this puts the virtual machine in full screen mode. Your keyboard focus will remain in the virtual machine. If you need to do something on the mac, press command control enter again and reenable voiceover. After the first time doing this, if you switch back and forth between fusion and other apps, it seems to work fine.
