Hi all,
I've had this struggle for a while. Upon a fresh restart of parallels and a fresh VM boot, ctrl as a keyboard modifier works just fine. Somewhere along the line, it stops working. I haven't figured out what triggers it. If I exit coherence, it works fine in full screen mode. If I reenter coherence, it does not work. The only thing that resolves it is to shut the VM down and quit/restart parallels. I've tried the "optimize for games" option with no luck. That was the only suggestion I got out of searching.
It's a frustrating issue. I use Labview in my VM. Coherence is great to allow me to spread out windows across monitors. The ctrl modifier is incredibly important when programming in Labview.
Thanks for reading!

[edit] I misspoke....I only need to restart the VM to correct the behavior. It's not necessary to restart parallels.
