    Hi

    I'm having a strange problem

    I use non-standard layout for Russian keyboard in Mac - the one that matches the PC layout (with ё in top left corner, below Esc).
    I have set up usual (non-Apple) Russian layout in Windows (same thing, ё in the top left corner).

    Parallels seems to be unable to switch Windows to Russian. It switches from Russian to English okay, but doesn't switch back. I have to use the Windows hotkey to switch to Russian.

    I'm guessing because my layout in mac is non-standard, Parallels is unable to find out what language it should be mapped to in Windows.

    Is there any way to map my input sources in mac to those in Windows to help Parallels "see" which mac layout is which?
