[Bug 195982] Re: Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare

[Cymen Vig]

At first the "nthrb..." work around didn't work for me but it seems to
be working after:

1) using xev and making sure each key is set correctly
2) making sure delete and backspace were defined
3) creating it as /etc/vmware/config with root permissions and symlinking it to my ~/.vmware/ so vmware can't blow it away (when run under my privileges)

I think the key things are #1 and #2. Here is the steps I took for a
ThinkPad T61p with US keyboard layout:
