a remote user has a different keyboard layout from the server, the user can switch
the server layout while it is being accessed remotely and then switch back again.

Keyboard pass-through mode

The keyboard pass-through feature disables the handling of most special key
combinations on the client so that they can be passed directly to the server. This
provides an alternative to using the macros.

Some operating systems define certain keystrokes to be outside the control of an
application, so the behavior of the pass-through mechanism operates
independently of the server. For example, in a Linux X session, the Ctrl+Alt+F2
keystroke combination switches to virtual console 2. There is no mechanism to
intercept this keystroke sequence and, therefore, no way for the client to pass these
keystrokes directly to the target. The only option in this case is to use the keyboard
macros defined for this purpose.

To enable or disable keyboard pass-through mode, complete the following steps:
1.

In the Video Viewer window, click Tools.

2.

Select Session Options from the menu.

3.

When the Session Options window is displayed, click the General tab.

4.

Select the Pass all keystrokes to target check box to enable or disable the
feature.

5.

Click OK to save the choice.
