Both macOS and Windows provide extensive keyboard shortcuts. For example, in macOS, you can hold down the Command key and press Q (Command-Q) to quit the current application.
Note: Starting from Parallels Desktop behavior, Cmd + W now closes a tab in the guest browser instead of closing the whole window. To revert back to the previous behavior, please refer to the Customize Keyboard Shortcuts section below.
To enter a keyboard shortcut, simply press a key combination on your keyboard.
You can also enter keyboard shortcuts by doing one of the following:
Click the Parallels Desktop icon in the menu bar, then choose Devices > Keyboard and choose a key combination.
Choose Devices > Keyboard and choose a key combination.
These methods are most useful for using keyboard shortcuts that include keys not included on a Mac keyboard, such as Alt + PrintScreen.
Note: To use the F1-F12 keys on a MacBook, press and hold the Fn key and then press an F key.
