How to disable/remap app shortcuts in Microsoft RDP Client (Mac to Windows)

Question

I connect to Windows 7 from OSX Yosemite using Microsoft Remote Desktop. In windows we have the following mappings:

Start+1 = Run first application in the task bar

Start+2 = Run second application in the task bar

etc. until Start+0 for the tenth.

Unfortunately, the Microsoft Remote Desktop (v8.0.32) application I have running on my Mac has cmd+1 mapped to Full Screen. I would like to remove this local mapping so that these key chords are passed through to the remote machine.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

A workaround for this is to issue the following key chords instead:

⌘+Ctrl+1

This is because the Ctrl is not picked up by Microsoft Remote Desktop running on the Mac, but it is still picked up by Windows.
