BlueCrow - did you make sure that you assigned your desired profile to the specific VM, otherwise you an make any kind of changes to profiles but it does not take effect, if this profile is not assigned to your VM.
Very confusingly, assigning a profile is done through "Edit profile". This is where you have to look in order to check that.
Is someone from Parallels watching this thread??? In general I would like to state the following to them?
a) The key mapping in v4 seems to be more versatile, but is has become also more confusing an in some sense limiting
b) On confusion: how a specific profile is assigned to a VM is confusing, and I would consider this option to be "hidden" - meaning it is not obvious that is needs to be done in order for specific changes to a profile to take place
c) On limitation: I really like Cmd+W in order to close windows or more specifically to close tabs in a browser. PRIOR to v4 this could be done congruently between guest and host: the same command was there on Mac OS and under the XP-VM - simply by default through swapping cmd/ctr. BUT NOW Cmd+W is there under Parallels to close the window of the specific VM without closing the application - by default and no way to change it. I do not like that. Simply because the usage of a browser and closing tabs is so ENORMOUSLY more frequent during the day than closing a VM window
d) I am praying for the day when tiny-little option windows are given a normal size or are made resizable in order to give clarity to the user and not hide stuff.
