Please remap to default

Hmm. The default seems to be mapping CMD-V into CTRL-V (along with a whole bunch of others). The "Summary of Parallels Tools" page in the online help says that clipboard sync (along with drag-and-drop, coherence, and a couple of others) are supported only on Windows. Is there some secret way to enable clipboard sync in a Linux guest?
Failing that, is it at least on the to-do list for a future version?

Linux console clipboard workaround
Its 2012 and there is still no clipboard support with Linux console. Would be great if this could be supported soon.
In the meantime, a workaround.
Open your Macs local shell, and ssh to your running Linux VM. You'll be able to use the Macs local console to copy and paste between apps.
usage: ssh <hostname or ip of vm> -l username
