Dear all,
I should clarify some things:
In order to satisfy Mac users requests Parallels developers made F11 - F12 keys working the way they usually work on Mac: F11 - clearing Desktop, F12 - showing Dashboard.
On the other hand, trying to meet the requirements of the customers used to Windows behavior of the same keys, Parallels developers added a special option - Send Keys (Parallels Desktop menu bar -> Actions -> Send Keys).
If you do not like the Send Keys option and prefer using F11 - F12 right from your keyboard "in Windows mode", you will have to remove all shortcuts from these keys. For this you should go to Mac OS X System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts and disable F11 and F12 keys.
For a MacBook please enable Use all F1 etc. keys as standard... option in keyboard settings.
Your reports are delivered to Parallels developers and they are thinking of new ways to meet your expectations.
Best regards,
Xenos
