    Keyboard listening / redirect key combination to windows

    It would be good if control center / parallels app would listen to keyboard shortcuts (like keyboard maestro), and would redirect it or another to windows side even without it being the focused window Ex: I have a program that runs only in windows. It is a speech recognition application. It has...

In all VMs regardlos of guest OS installed, the two keys on my keyboard (Logitech MX Keys configured as 105-keys-ISO-keyboard - which it is - with layout German-Standard, i.e. windows-kompatible Layout on the macOS Host) for <>|...

    Keyboard character mapping to windows 11 issue...

    Hopefully this is the right spot to ask this. If not, let me know and I will repost. FYI, I have only been using MacOS for one week now, so I will apologize if I have missed something obvious. I have setup Windows 11 using Parallels on my MacBook Pro M1 16" and everything seems to be fine...

    MBP 16 Max, Win11, UT2004, USB keyboard gets stuck within Windows only

    Game works perfectly 99.9% of the time, but occasionally my keyboard stops working and the last key I was pressing remains permanently active. Most of the time this is the W key, since it is the key to move forward. Once this problem occurs, it cannot be fixed even if I unplug and plug the...

    Option to use only left or right modifier for key mappings

    Currently when mapping keys for a VM in preferences, there are only generic shift/control/alt/cmd toggles that apply to both the left and right key. This is fine for US and I think UK keyboard layouts, however for some international layouts this poses a bit of a problem. With the keyboard...

    Alt-` not working with dead keys

    Gnome uses Alt/Command-` to switch between windows of the same application, like MacOS. However, it does not work on Parallels with a dead keys keyboard. It works on qemu, and it's the last issue I have with Parallels now that virgl support is in. I looked at xev and the combo is not even...

    Cursor and keyboard not working

    The cursor is completely invisible and not working in the windows 11 vm, same thing with keyboard commands. It is not frozen, because some programs that usually start upon its launch are still opening automatically. I tried restarting and resetting, but nothing is working.

    Natively support multimedia keys in Win-11

    Hi I have installed Win-11 Pro on an Intel-based Mac-Mini by installing a downloaded ISO-File under Parallels 17 on macOS Monterrey. All works perfectly. However, when I start the iTunes Music App in the VM, the keys "previous song", "pause / resume" and "next song" do not work. The volume keys...

    Caps lock being wierd on Windows 11

    Hi. I recently did a post that my caps lock wasn't working in one of my games in windows 11, middle click too. I set a middle click shortcut in the parallels desktop menu and it worked perfectly now! So I was wondering, caps lock is probably not configured then. So is there a keyboard shortcuts...

    Coherence mode losing Keyboard focus

    I have recently notice that after coming back to my mini M1 (say after lunch) and the screensaver has kicked in (machine is not sleeping), I am unable to type anything into the VM - as if there is no keyboard connected. I also note that (as I use Streamdeck with shortcuts depending on which Mac...

    Windows-Only Keyboard Shortcut Input Toggle Button

    I have noticed on many reviews of Parallels for Windows for an M1 Mabook Pro, that much of the frustration stems from the usual windows keyboard shortcuts being mistaken for Apple keyboard shortcuts. I know you can customize individual shortcuts, but what if instead there was just a simple...

    Numeric Keypad working 70% of the time on Windows 10

    I have an extended Mac keyboard (I've tried Logitech MX Keys and the Apple Extended keyboards and they both have the same issue). Windows 10 recognizes they keypad (sometimes I need to hit the Clear button for it to work initially), however, when I'm typing lots of numbers, about 70% of the...

    Stream deck

    I'm looking to buy a stream deck to use it in combination with a Windows-only app (grandMA2 onPC) that I'm running on my M1 Mac through Parallels 17 (running Windows 10). Will I be able to use the stream deck in the virtual machine? I'm looking to use the stream deck with the regular app and/or...

    Cannot use keyboard after restoring to snapshot (PD17)

    After upgrading to Parallels Desktop 17, if you restore to a snapshot with a running OS (either windows or macOS), you are unable to type in the VM. Mouse events work, but keyboard appears to be disconnected. We've seen this on VMs running Windows 10 and macOS Big Sur - with the parallels...

    Alt + right and alt + left arrow doesn't work as expected.

    Hello everybody. I've been using Parallels for a few days now and I'm finding it really good in terms of fluidity and speed. I installed Windows 10 and was able to get everything working. The only little thing I can't get to work is the combination of alt + left arrow and alt+ right arrow keys...

    No input devices in Windows 11 after recent update

    I have not used my virtual machine for a week or two (when Windows 10 was automatically updated to Windows 11) but yesterday (Saturday 17th of July) I tried to play some games but there was an update that prevented me from gaming. After the update was installed and the machine had restarted, I...

    Elite Dangerous Keybinding Problem

    Trying to test every game I own with the ARM Preview Version of Windows 10... so now it's Elite Dangerous. Loads up, and can be played. But the Keybindings don't work. And aren't saved. The basic keybindings (Thrust, UI navigation) are just empty no matter what I try. Modifying the bindings file...

I use Win10 Remote Desktop app to connect to remote Windows systems over a VPN that's running in the Win10 VM.
