I'm trying to get around the issue of ctrl key functions not working in Lion (due to new Mac shortcuts) by mapping from option(alt)-left and option(alt)-right to the Windows ctrl-left and ctrl-right, but I'm not having any luck. I've created new entries under Virtual Machine Shortcuts in Preferences / Keyboard, but they don't do anything. The cursor stays at the same position when I press option-left or option-right. Is there something more to this that I'm missing?

Still not having any luck using option-left and option-right instead of ctrl-left and ctrl-right. ctrl-left and ctrl-right work fine after disabling the mission control mappings. I've now upgraded to PD7 and I've tried making keyboard shortcuts in Parallels preferences for the following:
from option+left to ctrl-left
from option+right to ctrl-right
from ctrl+left to option+left
from ctrl-right to option+right
I've also tried switching the profile from Windows to Mac OS X, but it doesn't seem like that profile stays active. If I go back into the keyboard preferences, it is switched back to Windows where I was expecting it to stay Mac OS X. In any event, the same mappings listed above don't work there either. In fact, neither do the ctrl-left and ctrl-right windows versions, but I suppose that's the way it's supposed to work.
