macOS Keyboard stops working bug

[angelakismax]

This has been a bug for more than 5 years. When using fusion and switching between apps, half the time keyboard shortcuts just stop working. I haven't been able to figure out what causes it. Restarting fusion fixes it until it happens again. Basically I can't use any keyboard shortcut when this happens, it happens randomly. I can type dimensions etc, so its not like the keyboard completely doesn't work. Are there any plans on fixing this?

Hi @angelakismax unfortunately I am unfamiliar with this specific issue and need to be able to reproduce it internally to have a chance at fixing it.

Perchance do you have macOS' Full Keyboard Access or Sticky Keys enabled during this time? It sounds like something may be stealing input focus.

Hey, none of that is enabled. Also I’ve changed many macs through the years and this bug has always been there. It seems like when I switch to another app, type something and then go back to fusion, the shortcuts don’t work. Then randomly after switching apps it will work again.  It I have never been able to identify exactly what and how it happens..
