Hello,

Using Synergy to pass my mouse and keyboard to another mac running Parallels 12. Whenever I hold try to type "!" ( shift + 1 ) it only passes through 1. I have tried optimize keyboard for gaming and changed Send OS X system Shortcuts as always with no success.

The system is passing ! through normally to the OS, if I open any other app that is not running in parallels it works as it should
 
I have this exact same issue, have had it since I first installed Parallels. I can work around letters using caps lock, but I can not get things like colon, exclamation, etc. to work. I have tried the keyboard optimize for games, but it made no difference.
 
Meena - thanks so much for your prompt reply. I have followed those steps, I did find such a keyboard profile and removed it, it made no difference. I restarted, and still no difference.

Thanks,

Brent.
 
Thanks again Mean for the follow up. Using the blog, I have fixed my issue. The change that did it for me was the OSX System Shortcuts - it was set to auto and I changed it to always.

I tried all of the above to no avail. Found a workaround: enabled sticky keys in my Windows VM that connects to the computer via RDC.
