VMWare doesn't grab super, alt+tab and ctrl keys

Hey

Problem: VMWare doesn't grab super, alt+tab and ctrl keys, rendering the VM pretty unusable. What happens is that the DE on host grabs them and for instance, when I press alt+tab it switches windows on the host and not inside the VM

Details:

Host -
* Kernel: 5.8.10-arch1-1
* DE: GNOME 3.36.6
* OS: Arch Linux x86_64

I'm using VMWare 16 Pro which I installed using yay (vmware-workstation). Trying to run Kali Linux machine if that matters.

Up until recently I was using KDE on arch and didn't experience these problems, but now they've appeared when I moved to gnome.

Thanks in advance for any help

Edit: This was caused by Wayland. When I booted into Xorg it all worked fine.
