Cycle Monitor Shortcut Keys

I think this was requested for the last 2 versions. So in version 14, is there a keyboard shortcut (or anyway you guys can think of) to press a keyboard combination and have it cycle monitors (icon on the toolbar in full screen mode)?

With cycle monitor, do you mean switch between virtual machines?

Like this?

That option has been in Workstation 12 and most likely much earlier (but I can't check that here)

IIRC then on a windows host I have also been able to swipe from one VM to another using the trackpad, but I might misremember as I do this all the time on VMware Fusion. Down there it is a very important part of my workflow.

I don't think it's what original post was asking. It's a good proposal actually to have keyboard shortcut to rotate vmware over multiple monitors, meaning, move full screen vmware from left display to full screen vmware to right display or stretch it over both.

I miss this in all vmwares, and horizon has worst features, there the shortcut would be lifesaving.
