It works! But i still do not understand why it changed ? Before i had just to press alt+7.
Any ideas what have gone wrong ?

Glad it works, as for why not too sure really, have you been using it in different languages like German or French? Those keyboard layouts using shift+alt+7

I has Paralell Desktop runing on my Mac but i now it is switched off so i was asuming the layout would then be back to normal. I m glad it works again it safes me from going other ways that are much looooonger. Is there a way to set the shortkey back to "alt*+7" ??
