Mac – How to easily switch between virtual machines in VMWare Fusion

osx-snow-leopardvirtual machinevmware-fusion

I have two virtual machines open at the same time in VMWare Fusion. I often switch between OSX and the virtual machines. Switching from OSX to the last virtual machine I used is not too difficult. However switching from one virtual machine to the other is not as simple. I run the virtual machines maximized. In order to switch to the other virtual machine I have to use the menu and select it. If I'm using an OSX application then the menu isn't even showing. Is there some easy way to switch between the different virtual machines?

You can assign keyboard shortcuts through System Preferences for the menu items named after your virtual machines.

This also works in full-screen mode, even though the "mini menu" doesn't show these shortcuts.
