In VMWare Workstation there are shortcut keys to power on a vm, power off a vm, create a new virutal machine, go to full screen mode, go to windowed mode, switch among open virtual machines while mouse and keyboard input are grabbed.. WHERE IS THE SHORTCUT KEY TO SHOW THE MENU BAR?

If you run a VM in fullscreen (who doesn't??), the VMWare Workstation menu bar takes up a ton of valuable space at the top of the screen - the kind of space needed to see browser tabs or to see remote desktop sessions or to deal with Webex.. If you PIN it, you get to see it all the time - but you can no longer get to anything 'behind' it. If you 'UNPIN' it, it disappears into a menu that has an abnormally long timer and a seemingly 1 in 4 chance of opening when moving the mouse to the top of the screen. If you have a 2nd monitor positioned above the monitor where your VM is running fullscreen with the VMWare menu bar auto-hidden, you have to hope that the correct item (your VM) has focus, no weird programs that mess with focus are running in your VM, and you have to move the mouse with the precision of a surgeon to get it on the sliver that is a whole 1/4 of a pixel and hold it there for the abnormally long timer to get a 1 in 4 chance of opening the menu. If you have used VMWare Workstation a lot over the years, you have wasted valuable life waiting and hoping for that menu bar to appear.

Is there a shortcut key to pop up the menu bar? If so, why does no Google search have anything close to the right answer? If there is not a shortcut key to pop up the menu bar, why the hell not? Let me push a key and get an INSTANT bar..

I seriously have installed some sketchy software directly on my host machine just because I didn't want to have to play the menu bar game. I know I can 'exit fullscreen' with a shortcut key.. but WHY? What if I just want to get to the toolbar and disable a NIC?

Also.. some other shortcut keys that should exist but apparently do not:

- minimize VM

- cycle through running VM's

- pop up list of all VM's

Also, whoever has been deciding that a 'show menu bar' shortcut does not need to exist in VMWare Workstation, but does apparently need to exist in VMWare Fusion, please admit that you just love torturing people through UI annoyances.
