When I type a lowercase "q" in any program on the Parallels side of my iMac, the parallels desktop disappears, and all of the open program windows appear to be floating in front of the Mac desktop (the Parallels icon in the dock still appears to be active). When I type lowercase "q" again, the parallels desktop reappears with the program windows inside of it. The lowercase q does not ever appear in the fields I'm trying to type within, it just causes the actions described above. Uppercase Q and all other letters work just fine. What's going on?

sounds like it's worth a shot - can you let me know where i go to check/adjust the hot-key assignments? – user70762 – 2011-03-08T19:12:52.373
Found it - it worked! You were right, the hotkey for Coherence was set to "q". I changed it, and now it works just fine! If anyone else finds this thread and needs it spelled out for them (like I often do :) ) - go to the "Parallels Desktop" menu in the upper left, select "Preferences" and double click on the hotkey shortcut that you need to change.

Glad that helped. Can you go ahead and mark this as "answered"? Thanks. – Jamie Cox – 2011-03-15T18:05:08.997
