How can I configure VMWare Workstation so that it sends keyboard shortcuts to processes running on the host first?

How can I configure VMWare Workstation so that it sends a keyboard shortcut to a process running on the host operating system, before sending the keyboard shortcut to the guest operating system?

I use VMWare Workstation 14. Guest: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x64; host: Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate.

For example, Windows Remote Desktop Connection allows the users to change the keyboard shortcut priority:

I know I could circumvent this issue by going though VNC but I would prefer to avoid that, as VNC has few features (cannot redirect all inputs, multi-monitor not so well supported, can't retrieve clipboard from the guests to the host, etc.).
