Alt + tab and "Super + XX" key combinations do not work inside VMware Workstation VMs under Wayland
When using a vmware workstation VM, I am not able to send alt+tab
and Super+XX
key combinations inside the VM. They get interpreted by the host.
Host system: Arch Linux
Gnome-shell version: 1:3.38.4-1
Mutter version: 3.38.4-2
Wayland version: 1.19.0-1
Wayland-protocols version: 1.20-1
I have tried the following gsettings
:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.wayland xwayland-allow-grabs true
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.wayland xwayland-grab-access-rules "['vmware']"
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.wayland xwayland-grab-access-rules "['vmware-vmx']"
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.wayland xwayland-grab-access-rules "['Vmware']"
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.wayland xwayland-grab-access-rules "['vmware','Vmware']"
The output of the xprop WM_CLASS
command when clicking the running Windows VM vmware window is:
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "vmware", "Vmware"
