Context
I connected to a colleague's desktop via Office Communicator 2007 R2 (he gave me control over his computer) and I had a look at his Eclipse IDE to show him a few things.
Problem
The problem is that not all keyboard shortcuts seem to work through the "desktop sharing" feature. Ctrl+M for maximizing an Eclipse view worked. Ctrl+Shift+T for "Open Type" did not work.
Question
I was wondering why that is. Does anyone know?
- Does Office Communicator simply not relay all keyboard shortcuts, but only certain ones? Meaning it's not possible at all to send Ctrl+Shift+T over the wire?
- Or did I just do something wrong?
- Any other reason?

A conflict. Had the same thought. Good to get the confirmation from you. So that means all the keyboard shortcuts found on that site you liked to, won't work. However, it's a little strange that Ctrl+M actually works even though its "Pause/Restart video". Ctrl+Shift+T is the one not working which might be a conflict with "Transfer call". – Lernkurve – 2012-08-10T12:37:32.313
Maybe Communicator software is smart enough to realize that the eclipse is not a video so it disregards the command? Where as Transfer a call can be requested regardless of open software on the client machine. – Dave – 2012-08-10T12:41:01.077
Is this still an issue for you? – Dave – 2012-08-31T10:16:05.967
Not a big one. I don't use Office Communicator that often, and when I use it, I can use the mouse instead of the keyboard shortcuts. – Lernkurve – 2012-09-11T18:11:22.767
