ctrl key not working on remote computer

I have team viewer set up with Linux Mint on the viewer computer and raspbian linux on the remote (server) computer. I can use ctrl key combinations on the viewer computer but it won't register on the remote computer. If I connect directly to it (with keyboard and monitor) then I can use ctrl key. I've tried the obvious ctrl+shift and that doesn't work. It makes teamviewer of limited use in controlling the headless pi.

Grateful for any suggestions / fixes.

I've just upgraded to TV13 and joined the community to get support on this issue.

My local system is Kubuntu Linux 14.04, tv13.1.3026 and the remote is Windows 10, tv 13.1.1548 (updated today). Both are 64 bit.

The Alt key gets passed through, the Shift key gets passed through, and the windows key gets passed through, but not the Ctrl - it's as it's not pressed - if you try ctrl-c copy or ctrl-s save or anything like that you just get the letter. This worked fine in v12 (and v10).

I assume this is supposed to work? It's unusable without it.

The new Linux client doesn't have any options for "send key combinations" like the old one did.

I can't reproduce that. Please add details, e.g. local and remote OS. In which cases does it work and in which cases not?

@JM325, you might want to add your findings here.

Best regards,

Ctrl key not working for me either with the Linux client and a remote Windows host.

Is this a known problem? Anything we can do?

Thanks,

Further to this, It does look likea linux issue as ctrl works when accessing the remote computer from a Windows 10 machine. As I far prefer linux I do hope you'll sort this bug out (and the lack of file transfer on linux too) soon.
