How can I minimize teamviewer using Keyboard?

Hi,

standard Windows shortcut may be WinButton+DownArrow (2 times).

But during connection, TeamViewer will ask you if shortcut must by applied on client or your side. Try to see this @Jonathan response on generic shortcut: https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/TeamViewer-12/Shortcuts-like-Ctrl-C-from-local-Win-PC-to-remote-MAC-does-not/m-p/2837#M787

Hope this helps.

diogoma/DMA, were you really asking instead for a hotkey to LEAVE a teamviewer remote, to get back to having shortcuts work against your local machine? Since you referred to "minimizing it", that's why the answer above was given.

But I, too, have longed for a keyboard shortcut that would let us leave a tv remote window (without need of clicking outside of it). **Third Party Product** had such a key, and it was great, and I've missed it from the day I moved to Tv. I didn't complain about it, being only a free Tv user.

But today it struck me to look into it again. Your thread here was the first I found on the topic, so I wanted to leave this, whethr to help you (clarify what you sought) or to help me (if others may know of an answer). I've looked in the Tv UI and help, to no avail so far.

I would really appreciate such a function. A very easy thing to develop would be a customizable filter. I.e. if a certain combination is pressed, it triggers an action on the host machine, like sending a keyboard combination or run a command.

Hope of some developer feedback here

Best regards

Sweetness! Thanks so much, Juergen. Relief, finally.

It seems a bit odd that it works, as one wouldn't necessarily expect expect such a shortcut defined OUTSIDE the TV remote to be accessible when INSIDE it. But I can confirm that it does indeed work for me (also on Windows 10 and TV 13 (both versions for the host as well as the remote). 

I suppose the only negative is that if in the REMOTE one wants to also use TV to connect to yet some 3rd machine, then in defining this shortcut on that intermediate remote, it can't be the same key. I'll just need to choose (and remember to use) an alternative keystroke. For me, I have used ctrl-shift-/ on the first machine, and ctrl-shift-\ on the intermediate machine. (And yes, I can just connect to the 3rd machine from the first, as well.)

So thank you VERY much for finding this thread and offering your suggestion (and thanks to whoever marked it as the solution. I do wish TV would offer it as a native feature, like **Third Party Product** had, but until then, this'll do!)

Well, it may depend on what you expect to happen.

First of all, are you trying this in a windowed or a full-screen remote TV window? If full-screen, then no, it won't work. All keys are passed only to the remote. But if your remote TV is windowed (even with the maximize button, where you can still see the TV status bar showing the remote name at the very top left of your remote window), then the keyboard shortcut works (for us).

Second, to be clear, there will be only the slightest visual cue of anything happening (the command prompt window on the host will open and close, perhaps imperceptibly). And it may take a couple of seconds to happen. But then your keyboard shortcuts (like alt-tab) should now work on the host, not the remote.

So to prove it for me, I setup that shortcut (on the host), then I went into the remote and did alt-tab, and confirmed it was moving around WITHIN THE REMOTE, then I hit the new shortcut (and saw the momentary flash of the command prompt), and then used alt-tab and confirmed it was moving around on my host. 

Oh, and as for a key to get "back into the remote", I find that if I alt-tab (while on the host) to the tv remote window, then I am "in" the remote and back to shortcuts working "in the remote" (until I hit that shortcut and get back to the host.).

That's "working" for me. Do either of the above resolve your problem? or are you perhaps expecting something else?

Probably because, as I recall, there is an option to pass shortcut keys to the remote if fullscreen.

I also agree. WE NEED THIS FEATURE.

I am working with a small laptop a lot now, and not having this forces me to the mouse/pad.

I am alt-Tabbing between a lot of windows on both local and remote. I can Alt-Tab IN to a remote session. Why can't I Ctl-Alt-Tab OUT? Or even better, LONG Alt then Tab?

Hi guys,

I there any solution tothis question?

If not, what I have thought about is finding a shortcut for the "send key combinations" option, maybe even combining the enable/disable with an alt + tab, so when you press the combination you disable "send combinations" so that you can alt + tab out of the local PC.

I haven't yet managed to do it myself, maybe you have some idea.

Thanks!
