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.
Prerequisites
If you plan to map an operating system keyboard shortcut, see “Considerations for Mapping Operating
System Keyboard Shortcuts,” on page 34.
