Auto-Scroll

The auto-scroll feature automatically scrolls the video display. A thin border appears around the perimeter
of the remote server screen. If you see scroll bars, when you move the mouse cursor onto the border, the
screen will automatically scroll in the appropriate direction.

Keyboard Macros

Dominion KX's Keyboard Macro feature ensures that keystroke combinations intended for the target server
are sent to, and interpreted only by, the target server. Otherwise, they might be interpreted by the computer
on which RRC is running.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete Macro
Due to its frequent use, a Ctrl+Alt+Delete macro has been pre-programmed into RRC.
Send Ctrl+Alt+Del <Ctrl+Alt+D> Sends a Ctrl+Alt+Delete macro to the target server.
Clicking on the Ctrl+Alt+Delete shortcut in the RRC Toolbar sends this key sequence to the server or
KVM switch to which you are currently connected. In contrast, if you were to physically press the
Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys while using RRC, the command would first be intercepted by your own PC due to the
structure of the Windows operating system, instead of sending the key sequence to the target server as
intended.
Building a Keyboard Macro
These directions describe how to create a keyboard macro for the Windows command Minimize All
Windows/Show Desktop. Follow these steps, substituting the appropriate key combination for the
command you want, to create your own macro.
Example: In Windows, pressing the <Windows+D> key combination minimizes all program windows.
However, when connected to a target server with RRC, a keyboard macro is the only means to accomplish
this task on the target server – because, again, pressing the key combination <Windows+D> would result
in your own client PC intercepting the command and performing it – instead of sending the command to the
target server as intended.
1. On the Keyboard menu, click Keyboard Macros.
2. When the Keyboard Macros window appears, click [Add] to add a new macro. The Add Keyboard
Macro window appears.
