Erratic Keyboard behavior in Parallels

Post by rjmuller » Fri Jun 26, 2020 3:31 pm

Hi:

I'm running PC in a Mojave Parallels VM. Two things are happening:
The shift key will not constrain to horizontal or vertical (or the other designated angles). I switched to custom angle settings and it worked once and then stopped constraining.

Wild Tools, Option-Control Click-Drag will not create a Zoom Window, only the secondary menu comes up.

Any ideas?

Possible operator error!

If it’s Zoomer you are after, try the command key instead of the control key.

Thanks Alfred,

Sadly, I looked it up in the WildTools 9 Manual that I still have and promptly started using the ctrl instead of command.

Any thoughts on why shift is not working to draw a horizontal line?

Was this ever resolved? I am using PC in Parallels starting today and cannot constrain lines, etc., using any of the keys.

I ran into this problem last night and found the solution on the Parallels Site. Shift key fixed, but the zoomer works intermittently.

Good luck!
