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.
comprehensive network performance graphs of Microsoft RDP
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.
