[Bug 195982] Re: Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare

 

Same issue here with karmic - troubleshooting the issue more - don't
remember having this problem before.  Using vmware workstation 7 - and I
recalled that I used to have some settings in the /etc/vmware/config
file for keyboard mapping for some arrow key fix for workstation 6.. I
decided to re-input those mappings into my /etc/vmware/config file to
see if it helps resolve this issue.. I'll post back my findings..  This
is what I put at the end of my /etc/vmware/config file - incase anyone
else would like to test their findings as well.

xkeymap.keycode.108 = 0x138 # Alt_R
xkeymap.keycode.106 = 0x135 # KP_Divide
xkeymap.keycode.104 = 0x11c # KP_Enter
xkeymap.keycode.111 = 0x148 # Up
xkeymap.keycode.116 = 0x150 # Down
xkeymap.keycode.113 = 0x14b # Left
xkeymap.keycode.114 = 0x14d # Right
xkeymap.keycode.105 = 0x11d # Control_R
xkeymap.keycode.118 = 0x152 # Insert
xkeymap.keycode.119 = 0x153 # Delete
xkeymap.keycode.110 = 0x147 # Home
xkeymap.keycode.115 = 0x14f # End
xkeymap.keycode.112 = 0x149 # Prior
xkeymap.keycode.117 = 0x151 # Next
xkeymap.keycode.78 = 0x46 # Scroll_Lock
xkeymap.keycode.127 = 0x100 # Pause
xkeymap.keycode.133 = 0x15b # Meta_L
xkeymap.keycode.134 = 0x15c # Meta_R
xkeymap.keycode.135 = 0x15d # Menu
