Copy and paste between Mac and Ubuntu using keyboard shortcuts via VMware Fusion I use OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and have VMware Fusion 7.1.1 where Ubuntu 14.04 has been installed. Moreover, I have installed VMware tools patches.

Copy and paste between Mac and Ubuntu using keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+C then Cmd+V) worked fine before. I don't know if it is because of the recent upgrade from VMware Fusion 6.x to 7.1.1 or the installation of the VMware tools patches, copy and paste does not work any more. Here are some screenshots of the settings:




Could anyone help?
Look under the settings for that particular VM, not the "App Preferences."  Each specific VM has it's own settings, and there are granular controls for Host &lt;--&gt; Guest sharing.

I only have Parallels, or I would post screenshots, but it is quite similar, from what I remember of previous VMWare Fusion versions that I used at my old job.

In the "Launch" screen, there should be a gear or some settings button for that specific VM.

Here it is in Parallels, FWIW.
