I'm running OS X Sierra with a VM running Windows 10. Every key on my keyboard works EXECPT my spacebar. Any ideas?

Hi gabrielbcn,

I have the same problem on PD10 with WindowsXP/7. Glad to know that you can make it work. I'd like to try your solution but couldn't find the keyboard translation tables. Could you please help me out?

Thank you.

Cheers,

Cuong

I did install PD10 on Sierra yesterday so it does work... downloaded it from the Parallels download page. Then I was outraged by the space bar issue (and their lack of support) but I did figure out the workaround by myself.

In the keyboard config you have the keyboard translation tables (to map command to control and things like that), just add a new one: "space" maps to "space". It does work :)

Parallels team, it wasn't so difficult to share this with your customers. You have a duty to support us after accepting our payments, which you didn't do. That's a good reason not to be your customer ever again. Shame on you Parallels team!

For those looking for an answer here is the one that worked for me: https://kb.parallels.com/en/122936 You map space to space. Ridiculous that I had to do this. If I hadn't found a solution, I was going to solve this by switching to VM Fusion. Ridiculous that I had to search for how to fix my spacebar. I am sure Parallels answer would have been to upgrade to the latest version.

Allow me to add my voice to the outrage. No spacebar in Parallels 10 with Windows 7! I did the key mapping trick described above.

Was this glitch caused by upgrading to Sierra? Really odd that spacebar was not mapped. And really very poor of Parallels Support not to reveal the fix to legacy version users. I have started to use VirtualBox as an optional virtualization solution.

I have problems with spacebar as well (Parallels Desktop 17 for Mac Standard Edition (M1 Max) + Windows 11)
When I push spacebar system suggests to open Coherence mode, but not just put a space.... I can put a space only using SHIFT+SPACE combination...
This is awful
Please help, how can I fix a spacebar?

Can someone help me here? Few weeks ago purchased Parallel Desktop 12 from Ebay, which only had key code in it.
But, the site only had PD 13 version for trial which I downloaded. My key code for PD 12 didn't work.
Presently, got trial for 15 days PD 13 on my Macbook Air.
Did register Key code and this is where I am.
How do I get my PD 12 then, upgrade to PD 13?
Prompt assistance would be appreciated. Also purchased dates falls within free upgrade to PD 13 period.
