How to send special keystrokes

[WildDoktor]

When I'm controlling a remote windows machine, how do I send a keystroke like "alt+tab"? Is there a virtual keyboard that I'm missing?

Hi there WildDoktor,

 Thanks for posting in the Community!

To send special key entries to the remote computer during a session, access the tool bar located at the top of the screen.

Select “Actions”tab and under the “Remote Interaction” section, you should be able to check the box for “Send key combinations”.

By doing so, you will be able to execute commands mentioned in your post on the remote computer.

Hope this helps.

Thanks again

Oh; I see it now while using the desktop app. I was using the Chrome browser app, and it's (understandably) more limited than the desktop app. Thank you!

Hi, 

I dont see this option on the windows app. Is this hiding somewhere?

I am using the TeamViewer 14 Linux client to access a Windows 10 host. I cannot find this option in any of the places mentioned above. Is it supported in my setup at all?

Doesn't work for me. The option is selected, still CMD-ALT-ESC doesn't work on my remote
