Using the F8 Key in Windows Virtual Machines

You may face some difficulties when trying to use the F8 key or Ctrl+Arrow keys combinations in a Windows virtual machine. It happens because in Mac OS X, the F8 key and Ctrl+arrow key combinations are reserved for the Spaces utility.

Possible solutions:

  • Click the Keyboard icon on the virtual machine's status bar and choose F8 .
  • Change the Spaces utility hotkeys settings. To learn how to do it, refer to Mac OS X documentation.
