6-5 Hotkeys

Hotkeys are key sequences that cause special action to be taken by the Receiver. Such key sequences are
processed by the Receiver, and are not sent to the Remote Computer. However, a hotkey sequence may initiate
some type of interaction with the Remote Computer. The Receiver Control Panel provides a number of options
under the Hotkeys tab (see Figure 6-23).
Figure 6-23 The Hotkeys tab options
The options available under the Hotkeys tab are:
Send CTRL-ALT-END key sequence as CTRL-ALT-DEL: On some computers, the operating system will intercept
•
the CTRL-ALT-DELETE key sequence, and will not forward it to the Receiver. For example, assume that the
Local Computer is running Windows, and that the local user enters the key sequence CTRL-ALT-DELETE in a
Remote Display Window for the purpose of logging into the Remote Computer. However, instead of
forwarding this key sequence to the Remote Computer, Windows on the Local Computer will respond to
these keys, and bring up the Windows Security dialog on the Local Computer.
This checkbox can be used to circumvent this behavior. When checked, the local user can enter the key
sequence CTRL-ALT-END in a Remote Display Window. The Receiver recognizes CTRL-ALT-END as a signal
to send a CTRL-ALT-DELETE sequence directly to the Remote Computer. The CTRL-ALT-DELETE sequence can
also be sent using the Remote Display Window Toolbar.
Send First Key: This checkbox controls how the Receiver responds to a key sequence. For example, the
•
default Setup Mode hotkey consists of a shift press, space press, and space release. When the Receiver sees
a shift key press, this key event is not immediately sent to the Remote Computer. Instead, the Receiver retains
the event to determine if the next keystroke forms a hotkey sequence. If the next key pressed is not space, the
Receiver immediately forwards all key events to the Remote Computer.
Some user applications, in order to function correctly, require that the first key press event arrive separately
from subsequent key events. If this is the case, check the Send First Key checkbox to enable the immediate
transmission of the first key in a hotkey sequence to the Remote Computer. Note that, in addition to sending
the first key to the Remote Computer, the key sequence is still processed by the Local Computer.
Key Repeat: When using a hotkey sequence such as Shift Down, Space Down, Space Up,
•
Windows injects repeating shift down events in response to the Shift key being held down. By default,
the Receiver ignores these key repeats. Processing of key repeats can be enabled by checking this box if it's
required for your applications. Note that, if Key Repeat is enabled, the sequence shift down, shift
down, space down, space up will not trigger Setup Mode, so the sequence must be typed faster if this
setting is enabled.
