    Hi,

    I'm using Parallels 8 and Windows 8.

    On my German Apple keyboard, the layout is as follows:
    - @ = Alt + L
    - { = Alt + 8
    - } = Alt + 9
    - [ = Alt + 5
    - ] = Alt + 6

    In Windows 8 I have the layout of a standard German Microsoft keyboard:

    - @ = Alt + Q
    - { = Alt + 7
    - } = Alt + 0
    - [ = Alt + 8
    - ] = Alt + 9

    I want to use the Mac layout also in Windows.
    Possible?

    Make sure that you use the (Apple) - Parallels keyboard layout.

    1. Control Panel -> Language -> Add a Language
    2. Select preferred language, f.e. Deutsch, click Open
    3. Select language, f.e. Deutsch (Deutschland), click Add
    4. In Language window click Options on your language - Deutsch.
    5. Click Add an input method.
    6. Select German (Apple) - Parallels, click Add.
    7. Click Save
    8. Be sure that Parallels layout is selected.
