Remote Desktop: how to switch between monitors?

1

How can I switch between monitors on a remote connection?

Typical scenario: imagine yourself in a conference room with one single big display. Therefrom, you remote into your two-monitor rig, and monitor 1 is shown.

How can I switch to and from the second monitor?

Is there a keyboard shortcut to toggle which monitor is displayed? Thx, Keith :^D

EDIT 1: Using Windows Remote Desktop Connection
EDIT 2:
- W7 Enterprise, SP1
- Shell Version 6.2.9200
- Control Version 6.2.9200
- Network Level Authentication Supported.
- Remote Desktop Protocol 8.0 supported.

1This is going to depend on what software you're using to remote - are you using RDP, Dameware, VNC, ...? – Jeff Zeitlin – 2018-07-23T15:38:40.460

1For RDP, this is version dependent. What is the version of mstsc.exe, and what version of Windows are you on? – Jeff Zeitlin – 2018-07-23T15:51:17.967

Tried Windows + P ? (on the remote PC keyboard ) – p._phidot_ – 2018-08-17T10:48:28.423
