Switching Xfce workspaces with remote desktop

0

I use 5 workspaces with Xfce. I have two monitors. On one of the two screens of Workspace 1, I run Remmina for remote desktop to remote into a windows machine.

Problem is, when I am working in Windows, my Xfce keyboard shortcuts stop working. So, I cannot do Ctrl + Alt + right/left to switch workspaces. I have to manually drag my mouse to the second screen of my workspace, which then activates Xfce keyboard, and now I can switch to another workspace using keyboard.

Could you please suggest me a way to switch workspaces using Keyboard when working on remote desktop (Remmina)

The problem is with Remmina, it seems that you can decide whether it should grab the keyboard or not. See this thread in SE
