Hi. I use a regular keyboard for Windows and I like the regular windows experience on mac, switching cmd for ctrl. For that, I change I go to Mac Preferences > Keyboard > Modifying Keys (probably this in english) and change ctrl for cmd keys on the desired keyboard. When I'm using Windows, tho, it causes a reverse situation. When I hit the ctrl key on the windows keyboard on my virtual machine, it opens the Windows' start menu, when the windows key was supposed to do that. Is there a way to fix that other than switching the Modifying keys back to original settings everytime I run Windows VM? Thx
Hello AndreL1, To solve the issue, you need to edit the modifier keys handling settings in your virtual machine configuration.

Didn't work. I changed it to Optimize for Games, but it still uses "Ctrl" as "Windows Key" on the VM. There's a screen shot of how my modifiers keys are set up on Mac.
