    I am using Parallels for Mc Pro Edition on Macbook pro retina 13'' late 2013 model
    Using United Kingdon (Apple) - Parallels keyboard layout at the moment. But can't get "£" and "€" keys to work on win 10 VM. Please let me know how to get those keys working.

    Hello AjayR, please press AltGr+3 to get "£" and press and hold down Alt key and then type 0128 and release the Alt key to get "€" and check if this works. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Both of these suggestions do not work for me.
    Tried Alt+3 and dont know what sort of shortcut Alt + 0128 is. Please suggest any other solution, this is pretty basic requirement for anyone using mac with UK keyboard Layout.

    Hi @AjayR,in Windows virtual machine, go to Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboards and Languages. Click on Change Keyboards > switch to the Advanced Key Settings tab. Normally, there should be the setting like "Between input languages - Left Alt+Shift".
    In case you do not have such setting click on Change Key Sequence button and set it up.

    Thanks for coming back to me, I can see this setting is already there
    However, I can see it is working now in the following way
    Right Alt - €
    Left Shift - £
    Thanks
