I am running Snow Leopard server as a guest in Fusion 3. The host (10.6.1) uses a Logitech S530 Mac keyboard (UK layout), and there is one particular issue when using it in the guest. The keyboard has a key between the left shift and Z keys which is the ` and ~ key. I can load the correct keyboard map into the guest to get the other keys remapped to a Logitech British layout, but there is no physical key press coming through from this particular key. Is there some means of telling Fusion about such keys such that they are passed through? (I am trying not to have to disable the USB keyboard and use a PS2 keyboard extension and keep the guest as clean as possible.)
