    High Sierra host & guest (PD Lite v1.3.0). Cmd+Tab is not passed to the guest.
    Tools installed (and re-installed, for good measure!)
    Tried in Preferences: Send macOS system shortcuts: "Always".
    Tried to explictely add Cmd+Tab --> Cmd+Tab, in Preferences > Shortcuts > Virtual Machines > (High Sierra guest).
    Nothing works. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Thanks. But it doesn't help at all. Not relevant.
    As I wrote above:
    Tried in Preferences: Send macOS system shortcuts: "Always".
    Tried to explictely add Cmd+Tab --> Cmd+Tab, in Preferences > Shortcuts > Virtual Machines > (High Sierra guest).​
    Any ideas? It seems to be bug.

    risxr, I had the same problem but I tracked mine to a conflict with SuperTab which overrides Apple's built-in cmd-Tab. When I changed the cmd-Tab shortcut in SuperTab, I was able to use cmd-Tab in the High Sierra virtual machine. I mention this in case you have some app like SuperTab that replaces the built-in cmd-Tab.

    Meanwhile I am having the related problem of cmd-C not being passed back and forth, but if I don't solve it that will be a topic for a new thread I think.

    I had the same problem. Found a solution:
    On the host system, go to systemsettings -> security -> privacy -> accessibility and make sure "Parallels Desktop.app" is checked.
    (Naming might be slightly different - I translated them on my own)

    Hope this helps
