Hi Chris, I’m trying to remember this but I thought it was something like ctrl plus G to take / open the vm windowI’ll have to check that one tomorrow but does voicevover not speak the key shortcuts to put the vm in focus?

I'm totally confused here. I downloaded the ISO image of Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop, and am trying to get the darn thing to install, but am having some issues. I'm not sure if this is related to Ubuntu, or to Fusion. Let me clarify and make this very clear. This is not one of the blind related modified distros based on Ubuntu. This isn't Vinux, F123, Sonar, which no longer is based on that distro anyway, but you get the point. This is just native Ubuntu. I elected to not do the easy install, so that this way, I could have it manually boot to the image, and from there, I could install the OS with speech using Orca. I have enough vision to see when the screen pops up with the installer. I noticed that by default, the window is not in full screen view, unless I hit ctrl+command+F. Even not doing this though, I see two windows. The VMWare Fusion window, and the main VM Library window. If I press VO+F2 F2 to go to the window chooser, it tells me that the current window is my VM. OK, that's cool. Now, someone told me to make it gain keyboard control, I just need to be in that window, then hit shift+Tab. Then to release control, hit left ctrl+left command. OK, so here's the problem. once I see the installation come up, I'm hitting VO+F2 F2, making sure I'm in the VM window, then hitting shift+Tab to give the VM keyboard control. This isn't appearing to work though, as after doing this, if I hit VO+M to go to the menu bar, it's working. My VM's not interpretting those keys. What's weirder is, When I focus on the VM window, I here that it's interacted me automatically with the toolbar, and placed me on the suspend button. Therefore, when I try hitting alt+windows+S, also known as alt+Super+S, to start up Orca, it's not launching. I tried also ctrl+S, but no good. I even hit alt+F2 to get to the run dialog, typing orca, then hitting enter. NO good. So, I really really suspect that somehow, my VM's not getting keyboard control. So, ultimately, my question is, how in the world do I deal with this? Does the VM not gain control right away when you boot the machine? What could I maybe be doing wrong?
