I've encountered very annoying issue while using
VMware player - all my Linux hotkeys were suddenly dropped out when vmplayer was launched. I couldn't even open a new tab in Firefox until i execute
setxkbmap command.
After searching on google and investigating different options for virtual machine i've found combination that particially solved problem.
<Win XP>.vmx file
- isolation.tools.dnd.disable = "TRUE"
- isolation.tools.copy.disable = "TRUE"
- isolation.tools.paste.disable = "TRUE"
- mks.keyboardFilter = "off"
Now it seems to work... but i cannot copy from host OS to hosted OS, which is kind of a pity :)
