ctrl + shift + = not working in VM (excel)

I just upgraded from parallels 10 to 13. My main use for parallels is Excel on my mac.

There are two shortcuts that aren't working for me

ctrl + shift + = -- when a column is highlighted this inserts a new column or row next to the old one in excel and is no longer working for me
ctrl + shift + - -- this shortcut deletes a cell and is no longer working for me

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Thanks

 

Hi JunaidQ
First thing is to make sure you have updated parallels tools to reinstall Parallels tools.
You can always check or map short cuts:
Parallels Desktop>Preferences>Shortcuts>Click on your VM name to see your shortcuts >All of your mapped shortcuts for that vm will appear on the right
To change a short cut click on the + sign a drop down menu will appear make changes there.

 

It's not really a windows shortcut. Excel by default uses ctrl + and ctrl - to insert and remove rows. This also stopped working for me as soon as I updated to 13. My specific implementation is that I use it on a Macbook Pro, so to get ctrl +, you have to do ctrl shift + since the + is the secondary character on the = key.

 

Thanks for the note but Excel does not use ctrl + to insert rows, it uses ctrl shift + to insert rows. I tried doing what you suggested (ctrl shift + ) and it still doesn't work for me. Did you try to reconfigure that shortcut in preferences?

 

On a regular 104 key keyboard, the ctrl + is the shortcut, if you are on a laptop you need the shift to invoke the + which is secondary to the =

 

I have 13.0.1 installed and the issue is not fixed.

 

I've got the Version 13.0.1 too and have the same issues. Ctrl + Shift + + not working.

 

I finally had time to install this and can confirm that this is fixed. Thank you
