Force Take the Mouse and KeyBoard Control away from VM Workstation

Sometimes the image OS inside a VM Workstation can hang (or the VMWorkstation itself can hang), and when that happens my mouse and keyboard control were trapped by the image OS.

Doesn't Ctrl + Alt (Cmd + Opt in Mac OS) take the control back to the Host OS? That's the standard way of doing it. Unfortunately, if that doesn't work, the host OS is hanged as well. The only way would be to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete (or Ctrl + Shift + Esc) to bring up the Task Manager.
