VMWare Workstation Pro has 11 shortcuts and we have listed all of them

General
-------

Ctrl + G                Grab input from the keyboard and mouse
Ctrl + Alt              Release the mouse cursor
Ctrl + Alt + Insert     Shut down or, depending on the guest operating system, log out of the guest
operating system. This command is received solely by the virtual machine
Ctrl + Alt + Del        Shut down or, depending on the operating system, log out of the guest
operating system.

On a Windows host, if you do not use the enhanced virtual keyboard feature,
both the host operating system and the virtual machine receive above
command, even when Workstation Pro has control of input. Cancel the ending
of the host operating system session and return to the virtual machine to
log out or shut down or perform administrative tasks.

Ctrl + Alt + Enter      Enter full screen mode
Ctrl + Alt + Space      Send any command to the virtual machine so that Workstation Pro does not
process it. Hold down Ctrl + Alt as you press and release the spacebar, and
continue to hold the Ctrl + Alt keys down as you press the next key in the
combination
Ctrl + Tab              (Windows hosts only) Switch among tabs
Ctrl + Shift + Tab      (Windows hosts only) Switch among tabs
Ctrl + Alt + Right arrow In full screen mode, switch to the next powered-on virtual machine
Ctrl + Alt + Left arrow In full screen mode, switch to the previous powered-on virtual machine
Ctrl + Shift + U        In Unity mode, give access to the virtual machine Start or Applications
menu

You can change the Unity hot-key combination by modifying Unity preference
settings.

You can change the default hot-key combinations by modifying Workstation
Pro for common virtual machine operations to Ctrl (plus) Shift, you press
Ctrl (plus) Shift instead of Ctrl (plus) Alt to release control from the
current virtual machine.
