I am using Windows 7 as virtual machine under Mac OS...

The keyboard shortcuts of Windows become difficult because of the Mac keyboard...

For instance, I am used to tiling scenes in Windows by Windows icon key + right arrow or Windows icon key + left arrow, which moves the scene to the right half of the window or the left half...

However, I can't find Windows icon key now on the Mac keyboard...

So, could anyone tell me what is the keyboard shortcut to move scenes in Windows 7 as virtual machine?

For VMWare the command key acts as the windows key, so command+right and command+left will do what you want.

If this isn't working, you might not have the VMWare guest tools installed on the virtual machine. There are instructions here:

  • @SoftTimur It works for mine. I know this because it annoys me to no end. What virtualization software are you using?

    @SoftTimur The VM tools are drivers so Windows can better use the VM program's emulated hardware (like network or graphics).
