Hello,
Ever since I upgraded to RC1 CTRL-Clicking on buttons no longer works. I cannot explain the behavior but its as if a right-click is sent instead of a left-click, and the CTRL is ignored...
Maybe it has to do with the changes that makes OS X keyboard shortcuts work in RC1?
Any workaround?
I found it, there's an option in the preferences to disable this. I should have checked first!
we add this option so people who are used to ctrl-click on the mac and getting the second mouse click can use it, the down side of this is that this is not the normal behavior for when you are working in a windows environment since ctrl-click has a different function. As you found though through the preferences menu this can be easily turned off.
can you tell me where in the prefs in RC 1 to disable this. I do not see it. thanks.
Go to the VMware Fusion application menu and select Preferences. In the Keyboard and Mouse section, uncheck "Enable Mac OS Mouse Shortcuts" and quit and relaunch VMware Fusion.
Hope that helps.
Pat
I did that and rebooted Windows and VMware but still cannot control click icons.
Perhaps you accidentally disabled keyboard shortcuts instead of mouse shortcuts?
yes, you are correct, it is fixed now. Thanks!
I would really like to use the Mac OS keyboard shortcuts but I've had to disable it because I could not properly use Visual Studio. I always use the CTRL-Space shortcut to display the list of members of an object and the shortcut does not get to Visual Studio.
Would it be possible to have the shortcut sent to Mac OS as well as the VM? Or is it possible to disable some shortcuts in OS X so that VMware sends it to the VM?
I think Control-Space is the default hotkey for Spotlight when Mac OS X is configured to use Command-Space for language switching.
Quicksilver also defaults to Control-Space. You should check and see if either of these are set up on your system.
