and somewhat expected it’s quickly marked as “close”. however, i need to emphasize again, this is a product design issue, not something can be “troubleshoot”ed.

No matter how much you love those macos/ios keyboard shortcuts, when you use the app to connect to a windows pc/vm, the user is expecting it to work as a windows pc, not having some shortcut hijacked to achieve the effect someone desired. it can be an option, but shouldn’t never be the default.

“as good as it supports hardware acceleration, the keyboard shortcut hijack is atrocious. all win key is hijacked to achieve some uninvited cmd-a c v x t thing in windows.

as a result almost all win key shortcuts now don’t work! to make it worse, even regular shortcut and single key doesn’t work like other app, it can be easily tested in blender, rendering the app completely useless.

also for who know what reason, even on keyboard that have pageup pagedown home end key, you need some very creative shortcut to achieve it, again, not an issue in other third party client.

the worst part is, after wreaking all the havoc, one would expect it hijack ios shortcut as well, but it doesn’t! if you press ctrl + space, that ios keyboard pops up revealing the now changed language.

can’t you just send the key as is?”
