Windows 8 Gestures

Parallels Access includes support for Windows 8.

You control Windows 8 similar to the way you would control it using a mouse with a non-touchscreen PC. For example, to show the Charms Bar, move the pointer to the lower-right corner of the screen.

When in Desktop Mode, Parallels Access also supports these edge swipe gestures:

  • View open apps: Swipe from the left edge of the screen. Tap any open app to switch to it.
  • View Charms Bar: Swipe in from the right edge of the screen. From the Charms Bar you can access search, settings, the Start menu, and more.

Tip: To switch to the Start screen, double-tap the win key on the Additional Keys bar.
