I've swapped the ctrl and cmd keys for a Win 8.1 but as a result, I have lost the ability to select multiple items (files in windows explorer for example) by holding ctrl and click.

How can I fix this problem?
 
Hi Dhruba,

1. Configure > Hardware > Mouse & Keyboard > Shortcuts > Select Virtual Machine
2. Add 2 shortcuts
- Ctrl > Win
- Cmd > Ctrl
3. Open Windows Explorer
4. Click on one file
5. Hold Cmd and click on another file

Expected behaviour: Both files are selected
Actual behaviour: Only 2nd file is selected
 
Hi Doover, navigate to the same location Configure > Hardware > Mouse & Keyboard > Shortcuts > Select Virtual Machine and then click on restore settings.
If the issue persist, try un-installing and re-installing Parallels Desktop.
1. To remove Parallels Desktop, please follow the steps suggested at, http://kb.parallels.com/122653 (Use PD remover)
2. Empty Trash.
3. Reboot the Mac.
4. Download Parallels Desktop 10 from here and then install it.

Note: Un-installing and re-installing Parallels Desktop will not affect your virtual machine.
 
Hi I tried what you suggested but the issue persists. I have discovered however that it is only a problem in coherence mode. What can I try next?
 
Hi! I'm having this exact problem with Parallels Desktop 14. The issue only happens in Coherence mode after switching the cmd and ctrl keys.
