It's been about 6 months and this issue is still driving me nuts. There really should be a hotkey in VMWare Workstation to show the menu bar. Let me auto-hide it - and then push the hotkey instead of having to position the mouse pointer perfectly. Lack of a hotkey when a person has a multiple monitor configuration with one monitor above the running VM causes the auto-hide menu to be a complete finicky disaster.

Seriously.. CTRL+M > Show Menu Bar.. How is this not already in VMWare Workstation but is in VMWare Fusion?

I should not have to 'exit fullscreen' just to see a menu bar - especially if I am running certain development software that wants to rearrange everything on a resolution change.
