Using VMware Fusion Delete is continuous #37

Closed Ramoe69 closed 8 years ago

Ramoe69 commented 8 years ago

I am using windows 7 using VMware fusion which is why I wanted to buy Powerkey,

I have just bought it and it works immediately in Mac but when I press the power key once in the virtual machine it deletes continuously as if I have held the delete key down on a normal PC

Anyone had this issue or have any ideas to solve it?

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate on VMware Fusion Professional v7 0 0

There appear to be some known key-repeat issues with VMware, even without the use of PowerKey:

Are you having the same key repeat issues with other keys, or is it only the power/delete key?

Does the power/delete key ever work correctly (one keypress) in the VM, or is it always repeated?

Thanks!
