There is an issue that have never resolved in Parallels Desktop
The letter A is not mapped correctly.
If I type A, it writes A.
If I do Apple A for Select all, the current application will quit.
There is no way to force the shotcut in the preferences. It is not working.
There is no problem with other OS X shotcuts, only this one.
I didn't call back Parallels support again for this bug because the last time the phone support took me more than 2H for nothing more and I have things to be done…
To reproduce:
In Mac OS, set keyboard to FR (AZERTY)
Set keyboard mapping to French (Apple) - Parallels in Windows (AZERTY) or standard US QWERTY in the VM (The VM mapping doesn't matter).
Launch an application, whatever the one you want, doesn't matter. For example the word pad.
Write something.
Press Apple + A to select all.
It will quit the application.
But worst, if you press Apple + A when no application is running, it will quit Windows!
If in Mac OS, the keyboard is set to US (QWERTY), Select All (Apple+A) doesn't work but it will not quit the application. Other shortcuts do work but they write the shortcut letter, for example, i do Apple + X to cut, it does work, it will cut but write a X in a text for example.
