? + Tab Command Glitch

I found an irksome glitch, it deals with focusing on the Windows machine in coherence mode and the fact that the ? (Apple) key is equal to the Windows start menu key.

Here is what happens: I ? + Tab to Parallels and release, the tab, and still have the ? key held down... Well low and behold, the Windows Start Menu comes up.

Why this is a pain: I use a 15" laptop and I have lotsa windows open and when I am not using dual monitors I am bouncing back and forth between different apps, including some Windows apps in coherence mode. Even with multiple screens I use the ? + Tab to shift the window I am focusing on, but I really can't use that when the Start Menu grabs focus in Parallels can I? I can hit ? again, but that is a nuisance.

Recommnded Solution: Have the Parallels VM machine ignore any keys that are held when focusing on the application.

My set-up:
Computer: MBP 15" C2D 2.33 GHz
OS Version: 10.4.10
Parallels Build: 5160
Parallels Windows Mode: Coherence
Other: I have my start menu always showing when I have a coherence app open.

 

Can't you create a new key sequence mapping in Parallels to do what you want as a work around?

 

Yes, I could. But it is faster for me to just hit the command key a second time instead of doing that.
