VMware Fusion Break key

[iNewbie]

Hi,
After trying both Fusion and Parallels I just seem to be getting better performance and satisfaction from Fusion on my MacBook Pro... however Parallels has one killer feature that I haven't been able to reproduce yet in Fusion...

In parallels, there's a drop down option to send a Control-Break to windows.

Does anyone know how to do this in Fusion without needing a full keyboard? The typical Break key in windows is missing on the internal keyboard... I THINK it's F14 on an external keyboard.

Any information would be appreciated. This is really bugging me!

Thanks!!

I suppose you could use the Windows On Screen Keyboard, one
of the Accessibility (in XP, "Ease of Access" in Vista) accessories.
You can do Start->Run and enter "OSK" to start it.

You're right, though. It should be addressed at some level. There's
probably the same problem in Boot Camp on a Mac Book.

wow! I never knew about the onscreen keyboad. Thanks!! Not as elegant as parallels which has a dropdown but still effective.

Thanks again!

I don't think that word means what you think it means.
