Windows – Using the ALT key in Windows with Parallels

parallels-desktopwindows

I need Windows for my development environment on my Mac. I use AltU and AltS a lot in this software. I can't do this on my Mac. Is there a way to send the Alt key presses to the virtual machine?

AltU shows the Accessibility Utility Manager. Pressing AltS just types an "s". At work on Windows XP, neither of these behaviors happen.

Best Answer

Disable the option for switching alt and cmd. The mapping should be: alt=option, cmd=windows.
