Hello,
I have a Win8 VM running on my Mac OS X (Yosemite 10.10.2) and have noticed the key mappings are wrong for several keys. I am using an English language keyboard layout. Symbols like @ and " are interchanged, and backslash is only type-able by using the Right + ALT key (not the left) in conjunction with the backslash key.
After reading a few forum posts of similar issues I implemented the 'workaround' by mapping the keys in the keyboard settings. The only problem is the backslash key is unmappable by this method. For some reason only the Right Alt key works in producing the backslash and the configuration cannot simulate right or left Alt key, just simply Alt. Also there are other characters that I am unable to produce using the keyboard because I have no idea what key combination produces it (the pipe character for example).
This is a PITA, please help!
Thanks,
Adnan
