    Hello,

    in PD 3, I used to have an option to make PD simulate Alt-Gr key when pressing the Enter key (not sure about the name the one which looks like "|<" turned 90° right).
    I do not have the option any more... could it be a problem of version which used to be French localized and now not any more???

    Regards

    Hello armelasselin,

    if you need such a shortcut, in PD4 you can add this mapping yourself:

    1. In main application's menu open Parallels Desktop-->Preferences-->Keyboard&Mouse
    2. Then click "+" -- keboard shortcut dialog appears
    3. In the keboard shortcut dialog set cursor in the input field in the "From:" row, then press Numeric Enter key
    4. In the "To:" row select AltGr in the combobox
    5. Make sure not to select any additional modificators keys, such as Shift, Alt, etc
    6. Click "OK" - to close shortcut dialog
    7. Click "OK" to apply settings

    That's it.

    unfortunately, there is a bug :(
    if you add a step 8: Re-open the settings, you will notice that the AltGr transformed into a Alt...
    I have build 3522.

    any news on that point?
    I checked the build 3540 notes but it seems that there is no fix for that problem.

    I too am still waiting for a fix to this problem.

    It makes a French keyboard virtually unusable, especially if you write C# code and need the [, {, } and ] keys.
