Sending key to host while active RDP-session?

07 Apr 2020, 01:37

During active RDP (Remote Desktop) sessions keypresses are send to the connected remote machine ...

Is there a way to have keypresses send to the hosting maschine instead of the remote machine while RDP-session is active?

Scenario: I use virtual desktops (Inbuilt Win10) - on desktop 1 is my hosting machine, on desktop 2 is RDP connection. I want to switch between both virtual desktops using a simple key combination (within active rdp connection I want to switch virtual desktops on hosting machine by using a key combination)... I am currently failing, because within RDP connection the keypresses are sent to remote machine

Any idea?

Current solution:
  • RDP Client is in fullscreen mode
  • CtrlAltHome shows menubar of RDP-Window
  • Use standard keypresses to switch virtual desktops (WinShiftArrowLeft / WinShiftArrowRight)
No AutoHotkey needed here ...
