Mouse problem Grab/UnGrab VMware Player

In some applications it’s quite useful to be able to lock the mouse inside the vm. Normally when VMware tools are installed, it automatically ungrabs the mouse when you leave the window. To change this, edit ~/.vmware/preferences and add:

Windows: C:\users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\VMWARE\preferences
OSX: ~/.vmware/preferences

pref.motionGrab = “FALSE”
pref.motionUngrab = “FALSE”

And find the .vmx file of the VM and add the following lines:

vmmouse.present = FALSE
mouse.vusb.enable = “FALSE”
