How to add command to session right-click context menu
At one time, someone told me how to add the "Disconnect" command to the right-click context menu for a Remote Desktop session tab. But, now I can't remember how to do it. I've searched for about an hour and can't figure it out. Any help?
I would like to remove some of the other commands/menu items to make it easier to find the commands that I want to use. For example, I need to use "Send Ctrl+Alt+Del" and it can't be added to the quick access toolbar; so, I'm trying to declutter the menu where it does appear. If I could move it out of a submenu, that would also help.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out!
I will answer your questions below:
- Currently, the right-click menu on an active session tab is not customizable. The available commands you see are fixed and cannot be changed.
- Yes, that is correct, the "Send Ctrl+Alt+Del" command cannot be added to the QAT either. Unfortunately, it is also not possible to reorganize the ribbon. Commands cannot be hidden, moved, or promoted out of their existing submenus.
- For sending Ctrl+Alt+Del during an active RDP session, the standard Windows shortcut Ctrl+Alt+End also works in RDM and is typically the quickest method.
We hope this helps. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
Best regards,

Ok, thank you. Maybe that capability used to exist, but was removed. Otherwise I'm dreaming.
And yes, I know about Ctrl+Alt+End, but that does not work because I'm already in a Remote Desktop session when using Remote Desktop Manager. So, it goes to that session. But, that's a great reason to use Remote Desktop Manager, because even if it isn't the easiest command to get to, there is no other way to send that signal.
