Force Virtual Machines
to Grab Keyboard and Mouse Input
You can set the
virtual machine to grab mouse and keyboard input. When input is grabbed, the
mouse pointer is confined to the virtual machine window, and all keyboard and
mouse input is directed to the virtual machine.
Ordinarily, with VMware Tools
installed, when you click in the virtual machine,
Fusion
directs
keyboard and mouse input to the virtual machine. When you click on your Mac
desktop, keyboard and mouse input is directed to your Mac host. You can force
all input to the virtual machine.
