Description

Hi, I'm using this configuration in order to navigate trough macos spaces:

```
ctrl - left : (yabai -m space --focus prev) || skhd -k "alt + shift + cmd + ctrl - left"
ctrl - right : (yabai -m space --focus next) || skhd -k "alt + shift + cmd + ctrl - right"
```
That is so because if I'm on mission control yabai does not work, so I need to use the default mac os shortcut to switch space (I modified it).

Now I have a problem, when I'm inside parallels desktop virtual machine if I press cltr+left/right shkd does nothing, I believe it's because the app is taking the input. Is there a way to modify my configuration to make it work with parallels desktop? Thank's.

Research direction

Start with the shown skhd configuration and the yabai space-focus commands, then reproduce the behavior while Parallels Desktop is active and compare it with Mission Control. Done means establishing whether skhd can receive these shortcuts in that context and documenting a confirmed configuration or limitation.
