vmware-fusion

I'm running vmware fusion 5 under OSx Mountain Lion. My virtual machine is running Ubuntu 12.04.

I have two fastidious shortcuts which I would like to disable:

When I press the command key Ubuntu opens the dash and shows under the text field a set of icons.

Command shortcut effect

When I press the option+` keys (which I use fot making accented letters) Ubuntu opens the dash without showing the icons under the text field.

alt+` shortcut effect

How can I disable or block these shortcuts?
