new feature : set up a black list off hotkey ?

You have the focus on a VM but you whant to start a spotlight search on the host

It could be nice to set up black list hotkey combinaisons per VM that are not send to the VM but send to the host

example :

- "Command + Space" for Spotlight

- "Ctrl + space" for Alfred

Thanks for using Fusion, we have keyboard mapping feature to customize the keyboard mapping on VM and host. The Command + space for spotlight is working unless you disabled the "Enable Mac OS Host Keyboard Shortcuts" under Keyboard & Mouse -> Mac Host Shortcuts.

i must disable the "Enable Mac OS Host Keyboard Shortcuts" because some (lot off) keyboard mapping used by the VM couldn't work, so that's why i need only some.

So, could you let me know if you enable Mac OS Host keyboard shortcuts, what kind of mapping doesn't work in your VM?

Do you means the last three ones don't work? Or all of them including default ones?

command + ;

command + '

command + T

Could you tell me which application use these shortcuts? I would like to have a try. Thanks.

none in the list work if i have enabled Mac OS Host keyboard shortcuts.

you can try with notepad

command + c

and then

command + v

doesn't work any more

you will see a new "c" and then "a"  in you notepad app document

my other setup is :
