vmware fusion: non-GUI console mouse capture

I read the description in Installing Arch Linux in VMware .

I am running a basic arch (no GUI) in a vmware fusion virtual machine.  I don't care much about much integration between the VM and the host OSX.

Except I don't want fusion to grab the mouse when I focus in the VM.  (ctrl-cmd releases it.)  it would be even better if I could cut-and-paste text.  essentially, I want the vmware fusion window to be like a text Terminal.  I tried open-vm-tools, but this did not seem to do it.  vmware-tools is not yet systemd (besides not wanting to install in an arch guest, anway; I had to get the files from elsewhere).

this seems more like a vmware than an arch problem ("do not grab the mouse but leave it alone!").  if someone has found a way to solve this, please let me know.
