(Ubuntu) Switching Workspaces in Fullscreen mode ?

Normally in Ubuntu you can use "Alt+Left or Right" to

switch workspaces (desks), I use this feature all the time to switch

between different applications. I'd like to also use this feature to

switch to/from a vmware VirtualMachine that is running in Fullscreen

mode, But when I have a VM running in fullscreen mode it captures all

the keystrokes, so "Alt+Left or Right" gets sent to the VM (Guest OS)

instead of to Ubuntu...

Is there a way to setup vmware Workstation to ignore "Alt+Left or

Right" in the Guest OS and send the command to the Host OS (Ubuntu)?

Or at the very least is there a way to switch workspaces with out having to exit fullscreen mode?

TIA,
