I'm currently evaluating Parallels Desktop for Mac with a Linux host, as per this forum. There is only one issue I am having; using the Command key as Alt, it takes two clicks to actually alt-click. Using the xev utility, the Alt_L event is clearly arriving consistently after the button event. My configuration:
* 512MB minimal gentoo build with X11
* Virtual Machine Shortcuts: Cmd+Q and Cmd+W to Win+Q and Win+W
* OSX Shortcuts are disabled
* "Optimize modifier keys for games" is ON
Interestingly, the latter option does not affect the command key, so press/release events are not immediate, but if the sequence was correct for clicks, it would work regardless. I would be happy with any solution which:
* Does not require OSX shortcuts to work (i.e., I can use Cmd+Q etc in the VM)
* Allows modifier+click to work correctly
* Does not require mapping modifiers in the VM Shortcuts, because this hides the keycodes between left/right keys
Does Parallels support this? Is the sequence issue a bug?
thanks,
