Shortcut Key Combinations

Regardless of the language used, some key combinations cannot be sent to the to a remote desktop or

application.

Web browsers allow some key presses and key combinations to be sent to both the client and the

destination system. For other keys and key combinations, the input is processed only locally and is not

sent to the destination system. The key combinations that work on your system depend on the browser

software, the client operating system, and the language settings.

Note If you are using a Mac, you can map the Command key to the Windows Ctrl key when using the

key combinations to select, copy, and paste text. To enable this feature, you can click the Open Settings

Window toolbar button in the sidebar and turn on Enable Command-A, Command-C, Command-V,

and Command-X. (This option appears in the Settings window only if you are using a Mac.)

The following keys and keyboard combinations often do not work in remote desktops:
