The more I study this issue, the more confused I get. As I understand
things, the key sequence for canceling an operation in progress on Mac
OS X is supposed to be Command + period, including the shift key if
that's what's needed. But I also hear that there's been much confusion
among application developers, so some people with French AZERTY
keyboards use Command + / in some applications. It may be that you've
found a bug in the VM, but at the moment I can't find an up-to-date
reference on Apple's site that says how this is supposed to be done.
This response wouldn't be complete if I didn't remind you to check
that the cmdDotEnabled preference item is enabled in your image.
Good luck with it!
