I'm looking for the documentation on how to send special keystrokes and mouse guestures from local macOS systems to a remote Windows10 system.

    Hi @donbwms 

    During the connection, on the toolbar to the top, you can go to Actions > Remote Interaction select the Send key combinations.

    Please remember that between macOS and Windows exist some differences. The ctr+c ctr+v of Windows copy-paste, is the cmd+c, cmd+v on macOS. The Win key on Windows is the cmd on mac (maybe it is a bit confusing to be reading it, but in action is very easy).

    Best regards

    This doesnt work for a lot of keycombos like Command/WIn + Space or Command/Win + ` or even simple shortcuts using the opt/alt key do not work at all.

    Means you have to literally do everything with a mouse.

    Is there no way to stop MacOS from intercepting keyboard combinations and pass all keyboard input to the remote windows machine? (yes I already have the setting you recommended turned on).
