Keyboard shortcut to extend to 2nd monitor in vmplayer?

5

2

I am using Vmware player and my host OS is Windows 8 (guest OS is Lubuntu 14.04). I removed the top bar of my VMplayer because I found it annoying. I did this by going into

C:\Users\{your_username}\AppData\Roaming\VMware\preferences.ini

and then adding

pref.vmplayer.fullscreen.nobar = 1

at the end of the file. The issue is, now when I open up VMplayer and run my guest OS, I go into full screen mode with

Cntrl+Alt+Enter

but I can't cycle through multiple monitors since my top bar is not there. Any idea what the keyboard shortcut is to cycle through multiple monitors using VMplayer?

So are you on full screen mode all the time when you open VM player? – Prasanna – 2015-04-18T05:48:20.147

1@Prasanna I can go into small screen mode by hitting "Cntrl + Alt + Enter". When VMplayer is in small screen mode, there is a "Full screen" button and a "Unity" button (this "Unity" button turns into the "Cycle through multiple desktops" button after I go into full screen mode but since I disabled the top bar, I can't see the "Cycle through multiple desktops" button once I am in full screen). – user2719875 – 2015-04-18T15:26:47.260
