Do you have a key mapping in the VMware setup that maps a keyboard key to the correct key sequence needed for the underlying OS to make it work?

If you are on a laptop, you may have to use the combination "CTRL+ALT+Fn+F7", as many laptops have their function keys mapped to hardware functions by default.
