shift+cmd+x for win8 with win8 default profile

So with the win8 profile running win8 in unity mode, I would expect the shift+cmd+x key to bring up the win+x menu, but for me it does nothing.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I am fine just adding apps to the vmware menu in the menubar to run in unity mode, but if the hotkeys would work that would be extremely cool.

Also, how do you get to the start screen in unity mode or is that not possible?

Do you mena the Shift+cmd+X is not working under Unity mode?

Actually, there is a bug that the Win+X menu shows cutoff under unity mode, sometimes your can not see it at all as it shows whole cutoff.

For Single or Full Screen mode, the Win+X menu shows correctly with "SHIFT+CMD+X" keystrokes and Win8 keyboard mapping profile.

Try to restore defaults even your single or full mode does not show  Win+X menu:

BTW, ctrl+cmd+U/F/S can switch Unity/Full/Single modes.
