    i found out !

    "@" => "ctrl" "alt" "à"


    For the "[" ==> "crtl" + "alt" + "("

    HMMMMM - this does not work for me :(

    I am using latest build on a MacBook with a swiss keyboard. Neither the <alt gr> trick (configuring the /Libraries/Parallels/.keyboard_configuration) nor using <ctrl><alt> gives me
    the really important keys like [,],\,{,},@ ....

    I have found out I can use <alt>+<fn>+ ASCII Code but this is quite annoying ...

    HELP please - this is of major importance for me, I am programming in a windows-based IDE.

    after a lot of hammering on my new apple keyboard I finally found:
    "crtl"+"alt" + "q"= @
    Good luck, lpete

    Thanks. Finally found out that it seems to be different for every keyboard.

    Swiss keyboard

    "<ctrl><alt>" or "AltGr" (number enter key with the patch as described) plus

    2 = @
    3 = #
    5= §
    < = \
    ä ={
    $ =}
    ü = [
    ¨ = ]

    tip: everybody should check out his "local" keybord from a PC, most have the chars on them .. and then they work in parallels too
