Keyboard Pass-through

Keystrokes that a user enters when using a Video Viewer window may be
interpreted in two ways, depending on the Screen mode of the Video Viewer
window.

If a Video Viewer window is in Full Screen mode, all keystrokes and
keyboard combinations except Ctrl-Alt-Del are sent to the remote target
device being viewed.

If a Video Viewer window is in Regular Desktop mode, Keyboard Pass-
through mode can be used to control whether the remote target device or
local computer recognizes certain keystrokes or keystroke combinations.

Keyboard pass-through must be specified using the Session Options dialog box.
When enabled, keyboard pass-through sends all keystrokes and keystroke
combinations except Ctrl-Alt-Del to the remote target device being viewed
when the Video Viewer window is active. When the local desktop is active,
keystrokes and keystroke combinations entered by the user affect the local
computer.

NOTE: The Ctrl-Alt-Del keyboard combination can be sent only to a remote
target device by using a macro.

NOTE: The Japanese keyboard ALT-Han/Zen keystroke combination is
always sent to a remote target device regardless of the Screen mode or
keyboard pass-through setting.

To specify keyboard pass-through:

1

Select Tools - Session Options from the Video Viewer window menu.

-or-

Click the Session Options button.
The Session Options dialog box appears.

2

Click the General tab.
