RDP Keyboard Shortcuts

RDP Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts for RDP sessions aren't working for me. See attached file. Is there a setting I'm missing?

This is a very important feature. In addition to the shortcuts shown in the attached file, when you shadow a computer on the network, you press CTRL * (numeric keyboard *) to exit the shadow session. This doesn't work when using Remote Desktop Manager either.

If I use Remote Desktop to make my connection, everything works fine.

Note that I'm using "Microsoft Remote Desktop Host" and not "Microsoft Remote Desktop File" in Remote Desktop Manager.

Best regards,

Hi,

Do you open your connection embedded or externally ? The external mode call Remote Desktop client directly, can you try it with the shadow session. Can you give me exactly which shortcut that does not work ?

Hi David.

I'm opening the the connections externally. I've not been using embedded as I like the external connections better. Guess that's just a personal preference.

None of the keyboard shortcuts work. The ones in the chart I posted or "CTRL *" when I'm doing a Shadow session to another computer in the network.

If I use Remote Desktop directly and don't do this through Remote Desktop Manager it works fine. If I setup the session with the RDP file using "Microsoft Remote Desktop File" in Remote Desktop Manager, it works fine as well. So, the issue appears to be something regarding how the session is setup with "Microsoft Remote Desktop Host" in Remote Desktop Manager.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Hi,

It's very interesting. Is it possible to send the rdp file (you can edit the file and remove the server) and also the rdm file (export your session).

I will check to see if there is a difference with the created rdp file.

Also, it might soon weird, how do you open your shadow session without Remote Desktop Manager, do you use mstsc.exe and do you set a special parameter (/console or /admin)?
