Hi All,

How can I get Apple + Tab to be used by parallels instead of OS X ?


At the moment I have to use alt + tab which is very annoying.

Any ideas?

I can't find the option right now, but you have to change the Coherence settings so that each individual app appears in the Mac OS X dock. I'd have to shut down my VM to make this change, so I can't do it right now to check.

I found these steps from here

For anyone stumbling with the necessary steps to get a Windows application added to the dock, follow the steps below:
  • Open your Windows applications within the Windows environment via Parallels.
  • Start Coherence mode which will add the Windows application icon to the OS X dock.
  • CTRL + Click on the Windows app icon and select ‘Keep in dock’.
Running a Windows application from the OS X dock will automatically open the app in Coherence mode as though it were an actual OS X application.

That's old. There's no "Keep in dock" option anymore. The correct settings are in the Coherence options when editing the VM. Unfortunately, I just tried turning off "Group windows" in those settings and it did not exhibit the old behavior (this is version 3.0). Hmm.
