Command key on Mac not working after upgrade to 8.5.10

As the title says since I upgraded to 8.5.10 today the command key doesn't work when I'm in VMFusion.

Does anybody else have this problem, or a solution?

Hi charliektm400exc ,

Could you check the Keyboard & Mouse settings of  Windows 7 VM if you're using 'Profile - Default'? This could be accessed via Virtual Machine-> settings -> Keyboard & Mouse.

Also, could you please attache the vmx file of your Windows 7 VM? You could find it by right-click Window 7 VM in VM Library-> Show In Finder-> Show package contents.

Thanks a lot.

Hi charliektm400exc

What do you mean by 'command key doesn't work'? Did you use it inside VM to toggle start menu or 'command + C/V' to perform a copy/paste?

Yes using it inside VM to toggle copy/paste as well as with tab to move between VM and other Mac apps.

Was working fine until I upgraded to 8.5.10 yesterday morning.

Hi charliektm400exc

Could you pease check if 'Enable Mac OS host shortcuts' is checked. If NOT, please enable that option. You can find this by VM setting-> Keyboard & Mouse, then double click the current profile.Keyboard & Mouse.png

Thanks

Yes it was checked, but it hasn't fixed the copy/paste problem

I have got around the command/tab issue by using unity.

Any update on my question. I still can't use the command key inside VMware as a modifier to cut/copy etc.

It worked fine prior to the last update of VMware

Hi charliektm400exc ,

I don't quite understand your problem.

Which VM are you using, Window or Linux?

Any update on my question. I still can't use the command key inside VMware as a modifier to cut/copy etc.
Yes using it inside VM to toggle copy/paste as well as with tab to move between VM and other Mac apps.

Does that mean, copy/paste between VM and Mac OS does not work?  Does 'Control+C' in VM and 'Command + V' on Mac could do that? If that works, please try to re-install vmware tools inside VM. Could you attache preferences files resides in '~/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/'? Thanks a lot.

I am using Windows as a VM on a Mac.

Control C/V work inside Windows, but Command C/V don't where they used to prior to the latest VM update.

It's not just that the copy paste doesn't work, it does, it is just that I have to swap to using the control key when inside the VM.

In the preferences I have ticked "Enable Mac OS host keyboard shortcuts"

And set for Windows to use either Command key.

I have also done a re-install of VMware tools.

this is my preferences file

Hi charliektm400exc ,

I am using Windows as a VM on a Mac.

Could you check which profile your windows is using , 'Standard Profile' or 'Windows 8 Profile'?  I could not find anything wrong from your preferences file.

Hi charliektm400exc ,

Could you check the Keyboard & Mouse settings of  Windows 7 VM if you're using 'Profile - Default'? This could be accessed via Virtual Machine-> settings -> Keyboard & Mouse.

Also, could you please attache the vmx file of your Windows 7 VM? You could find it by right-click Window 7 VM in VM Library-> Show In Finder-> Show package contents.

Thanks a lot.
