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 modifiers, such as Control and Shift,
and a key code. A key code can be any key on your keyboard, except for a modifier 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.
