Hello,
I'm a VMware user and far too often I use keyboard shortcuts while programming. However, this has proved to be quite distressing as sometimes the VMware gets hold of it and turns off / pauses (ctrl+Z) the virtual machine.
Is there a way to disable keyboard shortcuts on VMware? Has anyone here ever found a workaround?
I use AutoHotKey (are you running VMWare on Windows ?) to disable certain shortcuts. You can find this tool here:
It's open source and I quite like it. Can be used for automation tasks, but you can also have it respond differently to different windows. With some AHK scripting, I think you should be able to fix your problem.
The site had got loads of tutorials too on writing handy scripts.
Good luck.
If it is Ok for you - here's a bit of hacky solution which is very simple - just use ResHacker program to get rid of those annoying accelerators (they are defined as resources in vmware.exe).
