ALT-TAB in coherence mode

[phesopheon]

I have some strange behavior, perhaps the solution is easy or even obvious but I don't see it.. I'm running V4.

If I click on the OSX desktop, ATL-TAB works nicely. But if I click on a Windows app, ALT-TAB only shows the windows applications and switches immediately. It does not recognize that the ATL key is held down and keep the windows app switcher in focus.

How can I fix this?

Hello,
do you have "Enable Mac OS X system shortcuts" checked, in Parallels Desktop -> Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse? This will make switching between windows in Mac take over the same Windows feature when running in Coherence and let you switch windows just as in the Mac. BTW, do you have Alt+Tab mapped for switching Windows on your Mac? I have tried all of the above with the default Cmd + Tab, and I was able to replicate the issue and fix it as well.

Just to clarify
Alt-Tab in Mac OS is navigating between items inside one application windows, in Windows it is switching between applications

That's it! Thank you Flagg. It all works great now.

I think my remapping might have caused some of the problems, I don't know. But the "Enable Mac OS X System Shortcuts" solved it. My mappings are: cmd->alt and alt->win.
