    I'm using a Windows developer trying to make a move to MacPro and Parallels. I use a Windows 102-key keyboard via a KVM.

    There are certain Ctrl+Fn key combinations that I use all the time. Under Parallels, some work, but others don't. For example, Ctrl+F5 works, but Ctrl+F3 does not. This happens in all modes (full screen, coherence, etc.).

    F9-F12 also seem to get grabbed by the dock, but at least using the "Windows" key (still a pain!) solves this.

    Mac OS X may be the culprit (Ctrl+F3 highlights "Downloads" in the dock; the other keys do dock things too).

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!
