On OS X, a new Chrome tab can be opened by pressing Cmd+T, but on Windows you press Ctrl+T. This works fine if you map Cmd to Ctrl in Parallels, but becomes problematic when cycling between tabs.
In Windows Ctrl+Tab advances to the next tab, but in OS X Cmd+Tab switches between applications. As a result I am constantly context-switching for Chrome between OS X and Windows in Parallels. Furthermore, I have to move a finger to the Ctrl key to cycle between tabs on OS X.
Is there a recommended way to reconcile these differences so that I can preferably cycle between tabs with Cmd+Tab without ruining other key combinations?

The best I've found is to go into Parallels Preferences and add the key-binds I use:
Maybe others will have additional shortcuts that they use.
