Hi Stephan,

I'm happy to report that it's working now after all!

• I'm using GNOME 48 on Wayland,

• But Remote Desktop Manager runs as an X11 application via XWayland (GDK_BACKEND=x11). The window class is RemoteDesktopManager.

• For Alt+Tab to work in the remote session, RDM needs to take full control of the keyboard (a so-called X11 grab). Under Wayland, GNOME only allows X11 windows if their class is on an allowlist. Otherwise, GNOME handles Alt+Tab itself because that combination is already assigned to "switch applications" on your system.

Solution: Add RemoteDesktopManager to the allowlist:

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.wayland xwayland-grab-access-rules "['RemoteDesktopManager']"

If window titles are already allowed to be “grabbed", they must be included in the list (separated by commas) when running the gsettings command above.

Best regards,

Roland

Hi, but unfortunately, there's still no improvement with GNOME. (Debian Trixie, GNOME, Wayland)

Best regards,

Hi @Stephan Haupt ,

Just a quick note to say that the keyboard shortcuts still don't work in version 2026.3.1.2. (Debian 13.7, GNOME 48.7, Wayland)

Best regards,

Roland
