Activate the Keyboarding for guest VM without clicking the window innto

Hello

I've set up an Ubuntu guest on a Windows 7 host machine, and I'm very happy with it. However, I have a problem:

When I switch to VMWare Workstation by using the keyboard (Alt - Tab), I can not immediately entered anything in the comments via the keyboard. I always first click in the window.

To make it more clear: what I do when I use a different program on the Windows host:

1 alt - Tab for VMWare Workstation

2. click in the window workstation

3. use the keyboard to interact with comments

What I want to do:

1 alt - Tab for VMWare Workstation

2 use the keyboard to interact with comments

How can I make that happen? I would also welcome to use the keyboard, for example, press ENTER to be bale to use comments.

Ahh, I think that I figured it by myself:

There is a menu entry "Keyboard Grab", that is mapped to Ctrl-G.

So I have to do the following:

1 alt - Tab for VMWare Workstation

2. press on Ctrl-G

3. use the keyboard to interact with comments

  • When I used another key to activate the windows, what the key embedded on the motherboard.

    I bought a desktop lenovo Lenovo online - usa around 15/02/2015. the machine came with windows 7 pro. installed through windows downgrade rights 8 pro.

    but perhaps, I do not open/use the machine until 30/03/2015. After that, I have updated the system by installing updates provided/offered by windows updates.

    around 04/03/2015, when I open the computer properties, down to the title of the windows activation, there was this message "remaning 2 days to activate windows.» Activate now»

    When I click on activate now. Another dialogue box opens, indicating that the product key entered by me is not valid.

    I called mirosoft support, but perhaps, they refused to help me because I don't have the product key. (as long as no key is provided to me by lenovo, but only 8 pro windows recovery media.)

    I called lenovo support, but perhaps they also did not help me, according to them, it was a software problem, that only microsoft could solve.

    now, I had another death system (samsung) with windows 7 pro, so I used this product key to activate my windows on lenovo.

    My quiries are:

    1. what happens if God for bid, I want to restore my system to its factory state using the recovery partition or recovery media created by me, using backup and restore of lenovo.

    1. What is the status of my windows?

    1 b. Will he ask again the activation key?

    2. as I have downgrade rights to windows 8 pro, it is said that the product key is built-in on the motherboard. now when I used another key to activate the windows, what the key embedded on the motherboard.

    3. What is the best possible solution to this question, while I keep the original oem windows?

    is not - and never has been - responsibility of MS to pre-installed Windows help, a large part of the price of Windows is the support costs. Manufacturer have always had the responsibility to provide software support for the warranty period. Most interprets this as giving instructions on how to use the recovery media :(

    Yes, by using the recovery media should give your system its true status.  It will delete all data and programs, so go back to external media first!
