Keyboard shortcuts in VMware under Wayland
Hello,
When I try to run a VMware virtual desktop, my keyboard shortcuts (such as alt+tab) are
all intercepted by the host OS (Fedora 34 Workstation) rather than going to the virtual
desktop. This only happens if I'm using Wayland on the host OS, and goes away if I
switch to Xorg. Looking around on the web, I saw a hint that if I go to Gnome's
Settings and look for VMware under Applications, there would be a switch I can flip to
enable VMware to capture the keyboard shortcuts. There wasn't one. I also found a hint
that adding the window's WM_CLASS to org.gnome.mutter.wayland
xwayland-grab-access-rules might help, but it did not. Any other ideas on how I could get
this to work? It's extremely inconvenient to use a virtual desktop when all my
shortcuts go to the host. I'm very close to being able to use Wayland for everything,
and it'd be nice to be able to knock down the last few obstacles before Gnome decides
to deprecate running under Xorg.
