Visual indicator for keyboard shortcut passthrough mode in RDP sessions

Description:

Add a visual border around RDP sessions when keyboard shortcuts are configured to pass through to the remote machine rather than execute locally.

Problem: Currently, there's no visual feedback showing whether keyboard shortcuts (Alt+Tab, Windows key, etc.) will be captured by the local machine or passed through to the remote session. This creates confusion - I'll try to Alt+Tab expecting to switch windows locally, but the shortcut gets sent to the remote machine instead, or vice versa. Since RDM sessions can be configured differently for passthrough behavior, I constantly have to remember which sessions are configured which way.

Requested Solution: Display a distinct colored border (configurable) around the RDP window when keyboard shortcuts are set to pass through to the remote session. The border should be visible but not obtrusive - something like a 2-3 pixel colored outline. When passthrough is disabled and shortcuts execute locally, no border appears (or use a different color).

Benefit: Instant visual confirmation of which keyboard mode I'm in before I press shortcuts. Eliminates the guess-work and frustration of shortcuts going to the wrong machine.

Hi Marc - this is exactly what im looking for. Thank you.

However, due to it being expensive - upper management is unlikely to acquire the tool.

I was wanting to visualize RDP performance in a graph. This would allow me to better understand poor performance scenarios and optimize the remote connection.

In specific, I would like the following statistics to be graphed and logged in RDM:

  • RDP version (8.1,10.10,10.11,10.12)

  • Whether UDP or TCP is currently in use

  • Available bandwidth

  • Utilized bandwidth

  • Encode and Decode times

  • Network latency

  • Encode and Decode methods (hardware, software)

  • RDP assessed 'quality of connection'

  • group policy settings applied

  • current framerate

  • max frame rate

  • color depth

Modelling parsecs performance overlay would be a great start.
