Hi! I bought Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac on my new MacBook Pro 13". My guest OS is Windows 7 Ultimate and I wonder how I can type a @ in windows? I don´t know how to make the shortcut in the keyboard preferences. I also wonder how i can type a – in windows. Please help me!
hi, I am using Parallels 6 with Windows XP. and I can type the @-char. just by pressing Shift + 2 just as within OS X
That looks obvious, anyway there are instances where you need to use the shortcut keys. I don't know how to do that also.
PD 6 shows the same shortcuts my XP Prof SP 3 uses. The @ is produced by ALT-GR plus Q keys within Windows. ALT-GR means the key right of the right command key (on Mac OS this is the right option key), so just type RIGHT OPTION KEY plus Q.
Hello, The solution is here: http://kb.parallels.com/5965. For those under OS X Lion (with support only Windows 7), you can create your own keyboard with "Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator" or search the internet for your correct keyboard layout mapping (for french: http://forum.macbidouille.com/index.php?showtopic=239365).
Thanks for the links. I've been using keyboard layout editor as well in order to create my own keyboard.
