Must read: This Apple product used to be terrible, but I now highly recommend it You can even run another macOS installation on your Mac using Parallels Desktop.Īnd today sees a new release: Parallels Desktop 16 for Mac.

Parallels Desktop transforms Macs into one of the very best Windows 10 PCs you can buy. Quite simply, it's the best way to run Windows 10 - not to mention Linux and Android - on your Mac. Also, it can only run Windows, so Linux and the likes is not an option.Įnter Parallels Desktop. I can boot into Mac, or I can boot into Windows, and that's pretty limited.

Out of the box, Macs have a tool called Boot Camp that allows users to install Windows 10 int a separate partition. I use it quite a lot in fact, and while I could have a separate system, I find that my Mac is the best Windows 10 machine I can buy.

I switched my daily driver system from Windows to Mac what feels like eons ago, but that doesn't mean that I don't still need to use Windows 10. For example here is my new favorite shortcut in Visual Studio (running on a Parallels Desktop Windows Image)ĭelete All breakpoint? That’s easy just go ++++F9.

Really nice to include the -key and not any of the or -keys since they are used sometimes. To get F9-F12 to work in a Parallels Desktop Windows image running on Mac Book Pro go ++F9 Kind of – that didn’t work on my Mac Book Pro. The Mac command takes upper hand (that goes for all F-keys actually). So if you want to press any of the F9-F12 keys in a Parallels Desktop Windows image running on a Mac – you’ll get quite surprised. But that’s ok – I’ll just learn some new funky combinations and away we go.

I suspect that the Parallels Desktop, which I love by the way, didn’t think primarily of developers when they thought about the keyboard integration. But for us (developers) a combination like CTRL+R,T (run all test in Visual Studio Solution) and CTRL+SHIFT+F11 (Step out of function while debugging) makes perfect sense. I use all these crazy keys and combination that I suspect no normal person would ever think about. For example here is my new favorite shortcut in Visual Studio (running on a Parallels Desktop Windows Image) Delete All breakpoint? That’s easy just go ++++F9. So: to get F9-F12 to work in a Parallels Desktop Windows image running on Mac Book Pro go ++F9 Really nice to include the -key and not any of the or -keys since they are used sometimes.
