Configure Keyboard Shortcut Mappings
You can customize how remote desktops and applications interpret Apple keyboard shortcuts by
conguring keyboard shortcut mappings.
When you create a keyboard shortcut mapping, you map an Apple keyboard shortcut to a Windows
keyboard shortcut. A keyboard shortcut consists of one or more key modiers, such as Control and Shift,
and a key code. A key code can be any key on your keyboard, except for a modier key. When you press a
mapped keyboard shortcut on your Apple keyboard, the corresponding Windows keyboard shortcut or
action occurs in the remote desktop or application.
