    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
Sorry for the confusion (simply a typo)
(... but docs might have helped: http://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.io/en/latest/region.html#low-level-mouse-and-keyboard-actions)

keyDown(Key.ALT) # must be down during the sequence
type(Key.ADD) # to switch to this input method (numpad plus)
type(Key.NUM0 + Key.NUM8 + Key.NUM4) # uppercase t
keyUp() # release alt key

... but this might not work with the same symptoms

@If you are able to use a plain Java environment,
... simply forget it - tracking down that problem should be done by others

@BTW: why Parallels, why not VirtualBox (which I use in case)?
https://www.virtualbox.org
... is free and from Oracle who is also behind Java

In my first time with Mac coming from Windows I also used Paralells, but later switched to VirtualBox because of its simplicity, which is enough for just testing apps in other environments.
Getting used to the Mac environment as a user I did not need the "seamless integration of Windows" anymore. And for sure it boosts complexity.
