Hot keys inside parallels virtual machine not functioning

I was not able to find an answer to this particular issue.

I want to use a hot key to fill in fields on a Chrome browser tab running on a virtual Windows 10 .

I can put the cursor at the top of the screen and it will eventually reveal the mac menu bar where I can select the keyboard maestro function that will run exactly as I want it to run.

If I press the hot key combination for that function while in Windows, nothing happens. The hot key combination works fine while outside of the virtual machine.

I'm running Catalina. I did try resetting the Accessibility permissions, but that did not help.

Has anyone been able to use the hot keys while inside the virtual machine?

thanks.
