Can't add UI element running in VMWare Fusion

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 11

I have a bit of an unusual situation.  My work PC is a Mac, so I can't run Desktop on it.  We've added VMWare Fusion to run a Windows VM, but the problem is that when I try to add a UI Element through a VM on a Mac, it thinks that CTRL-Left Click is the same as right click, and there is no way to manually add a CSS element.

 

Any ideas?

    I just saw this in the release notes for 2.22

     

    "When manually capturing UI elements using the Control key and the mouse left click, the right Ctrl key is now also supported."

    Not sure, but perhaps that would help?

    I solved it, changing keyboard layout in VMWare to Mac
