Is there currently any way to disable the keyboard shortcuts related to power (Ctrl-E = Power Off, etc)?
I connect to various linux machines and routinely use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+R to do reverse command searches on the command line and Ctrl-Z to suspend running applications or undo commands. If the focus is on VMWare rather than inside the VM, these shortcuts will of course restart and suspend the VM, respectively.
This can be very frustrating. I don't understand why these fairly major features are even assigned keyboard shortcuts.
Is there some way to disable them or at the very least, throw up a warning message?
I have searched the forums for this problem and have found threads going back as far as 2003 . Most of them have either been unanswered[2] or answered by telling people to change their behaviour (eg. "Use F5 to reload web pages, not Ctrl-R") which I don't think is a reasonable solution.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
