Configuring Keyboard Shortcuts in Parallels Desktop
We all know Parallels Desktop allows you to run Windows on your Mac. But have you ever wanted your favorite Mac keyboard shortcuts to work in the virtual machine as well? Or maybe change them and assign certain hot keys like Alt key? We can help – below are all the instructions you’ll need for configuring your keyboard shortcuts in Parallels Desktop!
By default, Parallels Desktop maps common Mac OS X keyboard shortcut key combinations to the equivalent Windows key combinations. That way, if you’re used to, for example, pressing Command-C to copy text in Mac OS X, you don’t have to switch to the Windows equivalent, Control-C.
Want to customize these shortcuts?
To customize keyboard shortcuts:
- Click the Parallels icon in the Mac menu bar and choose Preferences (or click on Parallels Desktop > Preferences).
- Select Shortcuts.
- Choose your VM from the list. (i.e., Windows 10)
When you’re using a Windows application, pressing a key combination in the From column triggers the key combination in the To column.
- If the lock icon is locked, click it and enter an administrator password.
- Do one of the following:
* To edit an existing key combination, double-click the key combination, or select it and click the Edit button . Click modifier keys to select or deselect them. If you wish, change the character in the text field.
* To delete a key combination, select it and click the Remove button .
* To add a new key combination, click the Add button .
Note:
- Some key combinations can’t be edited or deleted.
- There are Mac shortcuts that do not have similar shortcuts in Windows. For example, you can use the F11 key or Fn+F11 combination to see your Mac OS desktop with Expose, but in Windows there are no keys or key combinations that enable you to perform the same action, because there is no Expose in Windows.
Another awesome trick is to enable or disable Mac OS X System Shortcuts. Our dev team made this trick very simple!
In Mac OS X, the function keys on your keyboard (F1, F2, F3 and so on) control functions like activating Dashboard and Mission Control, adjusting screen brightness, and controlling the volume. By default, when a Windows application is active, the function keys and other Mac system shortcut key combinations (such as pressing Cmd + Tab to switch between open applications) continue to activate Mac OS X functions.

To set whether function keys and OS X system shortcut key combinations activate functions in OS X or Windows:
- Click System Shortcuts in the sidebar.
- Select one of the following from the Send system shortcuts menu:
* Always: When Windows or Windows applications are active, function keys and other system shortcuts always trigger functions in Windows.
* Never: Function keys and other system shortcuts always trigger functions in OS X.
* On Condition or Auto: If you’re working with Windows, system shortcuts that don’t function in Windows (for example, Control-Up Arrow button to display Mission Control) trigger functions in OS X. If you’re using OS X as a guest OS and a guest OS or its application is active, system shortcuts that are typical only to OS X trigger functions in the guest version of OS X.
This is simple, right? So performing these steps will make it more comfortable for you to use our software regardless of the difference in OS and shortcut combinations.
Want to customize the keyboard menu?
In Window mode, you can enter key combinations by clicking the keyboard icon in the status bar at the bottom of the window and then choosing a key combination. To customize available key combinations, do the following:
Do one of the following:
* Click the Parallels icon in the menu bar, press and hold the Option (Alt) key, and choose Preferences.
* If the Parallels Desktop menu bar is visible at the top of the screen, choose Parallels Desktop > Preferences.
* Click Shortcuts > Keyboard Menu.
- If the lock icon is locked, click it and enter an administrator password.
- Do one of the following:
- To add a new key combination, click the Add button .
- To remove a key combination from the Keyboard menu, select it and click the Remove button .

If you like to use your Mac computer as your main machine, but still need Windows for occasional tasks, then it might be useful to setup remote desktop so that you can connect from your Mac to your PC remotely.
Luckily, Microsoft provides all the parts for remote desktop to work properly between a Mac and a PC. In this article, I’m going to walk you through the steps for setting up remote desktop on a Mac and PC.
Setup Remote Desktop Assistant on PC
The first thing you’ll need to do is setup remote desktop assistant on your PC. This program will basically enable remote desktop, open the ports in the firewall and configure anything else that is required for remote desktop.
When you download the file and run it, it’ll ask for your permission to connect to the Internet to download all the setup files. Once you approve that and the program is installed, go ahead and run it.
It’s a very simple and straight-forward program. All you do is click Get Started and it will change a few settings on your PC so that the computer can accept incoming remote desktop connections. Once completed, it will show you a summary and give you the option to scan a QR code (if using a mobile device like an iPad), copy the info to the clipboard or save the connection as a file, which you can open on another computer.
Once you have the info you need, go ahead and close the window. It’s worth noting that if you want to connect to your computer from outside the local network, you’ll have to open the ports on the router manually and forward those ports to your PC. You’ll also have to setup dynamic DNS so that you can use a DNS name rather than your public IP address, which changes often, to connect. It’s definitely more complicated, but totally doable.
Setup Remote Desktop on Mac
Now that you are setup on the PC side, it’s time to get remote desktop installed on your Mac. You’ll want to go to the App Store and search for remote desktop. The first app should be Microsoft Remote Desktop.
Click the Get button and once downloaded, click the Open button. The main screen is just a couple of buttons across the top: New, Start, Edit, Preferences and Remote Resources.
Click on the New button to start a new remote desktop connection. Here you will type in all the information that was listed out on the PC when you setup remote desktop assistant.
Give your connection a name, type in the IP address under PC Name, configure a gateway if required and then type in the credentials for the remote PC. Note that the PC will need to have an account with a password in order for all this to work. If the account doesn’t have a password, you won’t be able to connect.
Also, to save the connection, you just have to press the red X button at the top left of the screen. For some odd reason, there is no Add and Save button on the dialog. However, once you click the X, you’ll see the new connection listed.

Click on it and then click on Start to connect to the remote PC. You’ll probably see a warning about the certificate not being verified, which is OK. Just click Continue to make the connection.

That’s about it! After a few moments, the PC desktop should load full screen onto your Mac. If you need to make any changes to the connection, just select it and click on Edit. Also, you can click on Preferences to add a gateway or to specify the display resolution manually. If you have any trouble, let us know in the comments. Enjoy!
