Seamless and ALT-TAB

Post by oas_public »

Hi Forum,

I love the seamless feature from this virtualisation and this is the major reason to use this.

The ultimate feature would be if you can switch with alt-tab through the host and all running virtual hosts.

If this already offered and I don't know it pls let me know.

To alt+tab out of the Guest, hit the Host key once first, then alt+tab is done on the Host.

You couldn't find this with the search tip from the Forum Posting Guide? How strange, since it's asked dozens of times.
