Looking to use your favorite keyboard shortcuts on your Mac and in your Windows virtual machine? No problem! Parallels Desktop lets you configure your keyboard shortcuts to work the way you want both on your Mac and Windows.

To activate a keyboard shortcut, simply press a key combination on your keyboard. You can also use these shortcuts by choosing Devices menu → Keyboard and selecting a key combination. This menu is extremely useful for the keyboard shortcuts that require keys which aren’t present on a standard Mac keyboard.

To see and customize your keyboard shortcuts, go to the Parallels Desktop menu in the top Mac menu bar, choose Parallels Desktop → Preferences → Shortcuts,and select your VM from the list.
