    I have a German mac and I am running a Windows7 partition with parallels 6. On a German keyboard you get to the @-sign with the keyboard shortcut ALT+L. Unfortunately this does not work on the described system and I could not find another way to get to it. BTW, I had the same issue on a XP partition, so it seems to be a basic issue at least for German keyboards.

    Is there any way to set the short cut for a particular letter/sign?

    Thanks a lot for you help! Ready to pull my hair out!

    Found the solution by chance

    I just found the solution by chance: for some reason the key combination ALT + Q results in a "@"-sign. Strange thing is that I have a Germany language Parallels version and a German version Windows 7 OS together with the German Mac keyboard, and if you look at the keyboard setting it shoud still be ALT + L. Anyway ...

    @sign under windows paralells on a Mac Book Pro running UBUNTU

    Had the same problem today, thanks to your comment I found the solution, ufff...
    needless to say that it only works with alt on the right side combining the Q.
