Howdy,
I have two basic problems with my keyboard settings:
1) I would like to use the OSX way of putting in a "@" sign also in windows. The @ is reached via alt+l. That's no big deal, I can define that in parallel's keyboard mapping rules. But in windows, the @ is reached via altGR+q. I cannot define that in parallels as I can not chose altGR plus another key, I can only chose a mac key combination that gives me altGR without additional keys! (What should be the use of that!?)
Is there a way?
2) copy, past, search and so on via CMD+whatever works fine for some apps, but not for MS Office. I don't know why, but I have this problem in all my VMs, be it WinXP or Win7, be it parallels 6 or 7 - MS Office does not pick up on my mac way of sending commands. As this is the primary use case for me, is there a way? And how is it possible that one program reacts correctly on CMD+Z for undo, while in MS Office and MS SQL server I need to use ctrl+Z???
Another issue is that some windows apps use F3 for find, while others use ctrl+f. What I would like to do is define mapping exceptions per app, so that I can always use CMD+F for find.
Any ideas welcome!
