Vmware Fusion 7.0 issue backslash

Hi

We found some issue's with VM Ware fusion 7 and windows 7 en 8 en 8.1


We have several keys on the mac that aren't responding the right way, for example :  we cannot perform a backslash and the # and @ button give us the key <

When can we recieve updates so we can fix this issue

Thx

Bart

Hi Bart,

It might help to add details like what OS X version you are running, what type of mac and what your keyboard layout is as my guess is is that it isn't standard US.

In addition to supplying that info, it might help to read this topic  (or add your details down there as well as it appears to be a similar issue)

I have the same issue:

Running OSX Yosemite on mac book pro. Vmware Fusion 7.0 has swaped places on the keyboard for < becomes $ and > becomes § and the basckslash is on alt-$.

This goes for all virtual partitions.

For me it is a danish keyboard layout

Hello,

For your information, Fusion 7.0.1 was just released and the release notes mention a fix in this area.

VMware Fusion 7.0.1 Professional Release Notes

You can download it from Download VMware Fusion 7

Or you can use the update button under menu VMware Fusion -> Check for Updates

Hope this helps,

The release notes for 7.01 does mention this:

  • Fixed a number of keyboard mapping issues for non-English keyboards.

Unfortunately it does not fix the issue mentioned in the first post:

we cannot perform a backslash and the # and @ button give us the key <

We can reproduce this error too on a danish keyboard.
