That's great to hear. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the follow-up! The shortcuts for alternative characters (similar to the cedilla) would be easiest. For example, "Option + p" produces the pi symbol.

Another straightforward test would be "Option + backspace," which goes back one word (based on the last space character). For example, if you type "The quick brown fox" and press "Option + backspace," it should delete the entire word "fox." (Technically, the backspace is labelled as "Delete" on a Mac keyboard, but I call it backspace here to avoid confusion.)

Thank you again for the very prompt reply. No, if I set Ctrl to Meta, the Ctrl key (at the client) will then do nothing. It appears to be specific to sending the Option (Meta) key to the target system. In case it is relevant, the target system has Modifier Keys settings set to defaults and is running macOS 14.6.1 (23G93). The Option key works normally at the physical keyboard.

Thank you very much. I have tried setting the Windows key to Meta (option), but it does not appear to have the effect of resulting in the Option key on the remote device. (Actually, the original key is the Meta key, since this is from a Linux client, but it presumably corresponds with the Windows key.) For example, Option + c does not result in a cedilla character. When I use the Karabiner Event Monitor, it also does not detect an Option key being pressed. All of the other modifier keys have the expected effect.

Yes, from RDM Linux, I am looking to send the Option key (key on the Mac keyboard, most similar to the Alt key on Windows) to a target macOS device.

Thank you for the reply, and sorry for the omission. Yes, I am running Remote Desktop Manager Linux version 2024.3.0.3 on Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.5 LTS.

Is it possible to press the Option key on a host Mac device using an ARD connection? It appears that the default key mappings are the following (as listed in Properties > Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) > Advanced):

• Alt: Command (Alt)

• Control: Control

• Shift: Shift

• Windows: Windows

However, "Option" does not appear to be an option in the drop down menus. How would one go about triggering the Option key (other than using an on screen keyboard)?

Thank you for your help!

Thank you so much!

How is this feature activated for the RDM Linux application?

Thank you so much; this is great news! I really appreciate the update.

Ah, I understand. Thank you for your help!

According to a prior thread, it is possible to activate the Apple Remote Desktop curtain mode from a Windows client by pressing the lock button on the session toolbar or from a macOS client by using [Shift]+[Control]+L. However, there does not seem to be a way to engage this feature in the Linux client (I tried the key combination, and it did not turn on Curtain mode).

Is there a similar method for activating curtain mode on a remote macOS host from a Linux client?

Thank you!
