Local Keys; Host Settings - Funk Software Proxy User Manual

Local Keys

As a general rule, Proxy transmits any keystrokes you type to the host PC. There
are certain control keys, however, that have special meaning to Windows and
you may want to reserve them for local use.
You can reserve the following keys as local keys:
You can control how Proxy handles each of these keys with a checkbox:

You should set a key to local if you are accustomed to using it to control your
Windows session, and you don't need that key to operate the host PC. If you
don't have a mouse, you should, at a minimum, set [Alt-Space] to local in order
to have access to the Proxy menu.
Note that a key's local setting only has meaning while you are connected to a
host PC. Until a connection is made, all special keys are local and will operate
your Windows session, regardless of the setting.
NOTE: Windows intercepts the [PrintScreen] keystroke before Proxy has a
chance to process it. [PrintScreen] is always local to your Windows session.

Host Settings

Normally, the host PC is under dual control. You are controlling it remotely from
the Proxy master, while the person sitting in front of the host PC can also control
it directly using its keyboard and mouse. The controlled screen is visible by the
Proxy master (from PROXY.EXE) and by the host PC (on the video display).
Control over the keyboard, mouse, and the ability to blank the video display on
the host can be requested by the Proxy master.
NOTE: The Proxy Master control requests can be ignored by the host, if the host
does not permit the specific function.
