RDP, prevent certain shortcuts from being passed to remote?

0

Remote computer has only one desktop. Local Windows 10 computer has two desktops. When I press Ctrl+Win+->, I want to switch my local desktop. But it seems the key combination is passed to the remote computer, which in turn does nothing.

Can I prevent certain shortcuts (such as Ctrl+Win+->) from being passed to remote?

1Are you running the RDP in full screen mode? – Techie – 2016-04-28T14:51:21.047

Yes. On OS X, I can use swipe left/right (trackpad) to see the local desktop. On Windows, I have to minimise RDP screen and go to the other desktop, and then go back to the desktop and restore RDP. So I was wondering if there is a quicker way to switch between remote/local desktop. – Damn Vegetables – 2016-04-30T02:04:26.717

What you can do is configure RDP setting (mstsc) to send the keyboard shortcuts to local computer OR Use RDP with "Smart Sizing"

To Send windows keyboard Shortcuts to Local Computer:

Open mstsc > click on "Show Options" button > Switch to "Local Resources" tab > Change "Apply Windows Key Combinations" to "On this computer"

But this will push all the windows keyboard shortcuts to local computer, even Alt + Tab

I think that option would be the best I could get. – Damn Vegetables – 2016-05-07T12:38:23.433
