Use Keyboard Shortcuts in a Virtual Machine

If when working in a virtual machine, you press a special key combination intended for the guest OS ( for example, Ctrl+Alt+Del for any of the Windows guest operating systems) the primary operating system may intercept such a command. That is why in this version of Parallels Workstation, you can apply any of the main Windows and Linux shortcuts to your virtual machine with the help of the Keyboard icon in the virtual machine status bar . Just click the icon and select the desired key combination from the drop-down list. The corresponding action will take place in your guest OS and your primary OS will ignore this event.
