Inside a tile (passed to the remote machine)

Section titled “Inside a tile (passed to the remote machine)”

Standard keyboard input goes to the remote. A few combinations are intercepted by RDPMaster instead so they don’t activate the host machine:

CombinationWhat happens
Ctrl+Alt+DelRDPMaster sends Ctrl+Alt+End to the remote, which the remote interprets as Ctrl+Alt+Del. Your local machine is NOT affected.
Alt+TabThe remote receives Alt+Tab. To switch windows on your local machine, press Win+Tab instead.
Win keySent to the remote when the tile has focus. To trigger your local Start menu, click outside the tile first.

You can change every shortcut in Settings → Keyboard, including remapping the expand/shrink keys if your IDE is already using F11/Esc for something else.

Open Settings → Keyboard → Print reference to render a one-page PDF with every binding. Hand it to a teammate, or pin it next to your monitor.
