Hi, I upgraded one of my machines with Mountain Lion form Parallels 7 to Parallels 8 for testing. I created a new x64 Windows 8 VM and I imported an existing x64 Win 7 VM. To both VM I assigned a custom key mappings file based on the standard Windows mapping. Both have the same key mapping problems: CMD-Z to CTRL-Z doesn't work, the result is just a 'z'. ALT-7 to CTRL-ATL-< doesn't work, the result is nothing (should produce a '|') Both mappings are working fine with Parallels 7. When I apply the standard Windows mapping file to one of the VM the CMD-Z doesn't work, too. I already had a long chat session with the Parallels support without success (Parallels #1493624; BTW: the issue is set to resolved, but it isn't). Deinstalling and reinstalling the Parallels Tools has no effect. Does anybody has an idea what's going wrong? All other key mappings seems to be fine. I have to mention that I'm using a german keyboard and a german keyboard driver. Thanks in advance, Carsten
Keyboard mapping issue Hi! I've got simmilar problem: after updating Paralles Desktop for Mac from 7 to 8 and upgrading Windows from Vista to 8 (all of these are Polish versions) the keyboard mapping got wrong. Instead of Polish characters (ąęść etc.) I can see various math symbols etc. Regardless of the keyboard setting in Windows (Polish Programmer or Polish (Apple) Programmer). HELP! Artur
Here is another not working key mapping using a german keyboard: You can't enter Ctrl+Alt+Plus(+) as a mapping target. The '+' is not accepted. Even you can't enter a simple '+' as a mapping target. All mentioned Mappings have worked with Parallels 7. I'm very disappointed about the "progress" Parallels 8 has made concerning the key mapping. I'm going to switch back to Parallel 7, since I can't see any response from Parallels here :-((. Best regards Carsten
