I use Remote Desktop occasionally for some programming tasks but the Alt + Insert keyboard shortcut (cycle through windows) in the client intercepts the default ReSharper generate code shortcut.
Does anyone know if it's possible to remap (or disable) that Remote Desktop keyboard shortcut? I would prefer not to have to remap the ReSharper shortcut if possible.
Figured it out. This problem was when I was not running in full screen mode.
In the Remote Desktop Connection dialog,
Local Resources -> Keyboard = On the remote computer
Now I can use Alt + Insert along with all the other shortcut keys when the Remote Desktop client window is in focus.
I thought it was still intercepting ALT+Page Down and ALT+Page Up.
It turns out it was Skype.

Question:
How can I emulate pressing CTRL+ALT+PAUSE in my Linux VM using AutoKey?
I tried a script that has
keyboard.send_keys("<ctrl>+<alt>+<pause>")
in it. But it does not work.
Background:
I'm using Windows 10 and RDP to log into a Fedora Linux. Switching 100 times a day.
The RDP connection runs in Windows all the time.
If the RDP window is not in the background but active, I can press CTRL+ALT+PAUSE to go into the VM (Fullscreen). If I am inside the VM I can press CTRL+ALT+PAUSE to go back to Windows.
So far so good. I want only one button. Preferably PAUSE. Windows part is ready already with following script
Pause::
If !WinExist("RDP Tool Name")
MsgBox No Window found
WinShow, RDP Tool Name
WinActivate, RDP Tool Name
Send ^!{CtrlBreak}
Return
Is the Linux part maybe not possible because the key combination is cached somewhere before my Linux system can even notice it? Any ideas?
I solved it without any other new script. I just had to edit the RDP settings: Keyboard -> Use Windows-Hotkeys -> On this Computer
(I used to use NX client, which does not grab Alt + Tab, so with NX I could to switch windows with Alt + Tab on my host OS only, which is prefered for me.)
I had to switch Citrix, which grabs this (alt-tab) keys (only in fullscreen mode) so if Citrix is active I cannot switch to any other host window (using keys), which is not preferred for me.
I want to switch windows with Alt + Tab on my host OS only.
My Citrix host is Win7, guest is a RH6. Version is 4.9
Symptoms or Error
Executing ALT+TAB keys toggles opened applications on endpoint machine instead of desktop session
Solution
Launch Regedit.exe on the client device to edit the registry
For Windows 32-bit OS, navigate to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE\Citrix\ICAClient\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Virtual Channels\Keyboard\
For Windows 64-bit OS, navigate to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Citrix\ICA Client\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Virtual Channels\Keyboard\
In some cases configuring User based Setting also helps:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ICAClient\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Virtual Channels\Keyboard\
Value Name TransparentKeyPassthrough
Value Type REG_SZ
Value Remote
The Value "Remote" will enable it and blank will disable it
This made Alt-Tab switch consistently on the host, for me:
(both in Window mode and Full-screen mode)
In registry, within:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Citrix\ICA
Client\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Virtual
Channels\Keyboard
I changed:
TransparentKeyPassthrough = Local
(was empty)
Win10, 64-bit, Citrix Workspace 19.3.0.4
I'm using a raspberry pi with a touchscreen monitor and chrome (kiosk mode) for displaying a web application. I want to disable the doubleclick, drag support, multitouch etc.
The only thing the user should do via the touchscreen is a simple (single) click.
BTW: To disable the dbclick by the web application is no solution for me. I want to change these mouse settings in raspian.
So my question is: How to change the mouse settings for doubleclick etc. systemwide?
I often use a citrix website to then initiate a Remote Desktop application, in order to then use Remote Desktop Client by citrix to remote in to a work computer.
I always use it full screen, (so that things like Windows key, Start key etc are passed to the remote pc, not my local pc).
however it often happens to where I need to, as I say, "bust out" of my citrix remote pc without closing it. (there is no way to minimize or restore it).
in the past I've used the Internet button on my keyboard. It works great - it basically force-activates my local pc and opens the internet, thus busting out of my remote screen.
I've since changed to a simpler keyboard which doesn't have that magic "open internet" button.
I tried making a Google shortcut on my local pc's desktop, and attaching F3 to it, pressing f3 unfortunately did not have any effect...
Can you think of a way to do anything on my local pc which might mimic this effect? Thanks in advance
If this is Windows, Ctrl+Alt+Delete should do it. It's supposed to only be recognized by Windows, so the guest session shouldn't get it.
I am currently building an application that controls mouse and other important windows shortcuts through a modified joystick in order to be used by handicapped. The problem is application is temporally suspended when UAC dialog is shown. Knowing that my program isn't triggering the UAC prompt, it's that anything that triggers it causes his app to halt processing.
i.e. I cannot control mouse cursor through joystick when the computer is in any secure desktop (such as UAC, CTRL + ALT + DEL, etc.)
Is there any way to keep the application running without suspension just like windows accessibility programs such as narrator, on screen keyboard and so on?
I have tried disabling windows secure desktop from regedit but there no much change. I know that I can disable UAC completely but I don't want to do so.
Thanks in advance.
