However since upgrading to 12.04 it is very buggy - frequently drops sessions, almost always loses the connection on switching to other open windows of to different desktops. Also can not copy or paste from the ubuntu desktop into (or out of) a Remmina session. Bit of a disaster actually as I use it to connect to my work server. Haven't been able to find suitable alternative yet.

My left CTRL key does not work inside my RDP session regardless of whether i have the "Grab all keyboard events' selected or not. I have not changed the default layout of the keyboard in Remmina. I did get ALT-TAB working but its hit or miss on where the mouse focus should be and whether it is switching apps locally or in RDP. (I use 3 monitors and the Remmina client uses one for RDP). UPDATE- the right CTRL key IS working for editing now but I need it to be the left side. :) <br /><br />I'll keep messing around with it and see if it grows on me. <br /><br />Thanks for the info. <br /><br />Yours truly,<br />Anonymous ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354418957262058264.post-33421909713863465062012-05-22T08:47:22.600+01:002012-05-22T08:47:22.600+01:00Ahh!

I would say RTFM, but of course Remmina doesn't have a manual :-(<br /><br />By default, the CTRL key at the right of your keyboard is reserved for use by Remmina (e.g. switching to/from full screen mode etc.) and the CTRL key on the left of the keyboard is sent to the remote server. So if you want to copy in your remote editing session just use the left-ctrl+C not right-ctrl+C.<br /><br />The ALT-TAB is an example of a key combination which could be interpreted by your local operating system or by the remote operating system. As you say, ALT-TAB will by default switch focus from Remmina to another local application on your laptop. If you want to use ALT-TAB to switch between applications on your remote Windows system then you need to select the option "grab all keyboard events" (there is an icon at the top of the Remmina screen to enable/disable this).<br /><br />You can see all of the Remmina keyboard shortcuts an/or change them in the "Keyboard" tab of the Remmina preferences dialog.Brian O'Donovan (BOD)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10652457466416412942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354418957262058264.post-36799982759676629412012-05-21T20:06:58.519+01:002012-05-21T20:06:58.519+01:00My problem is I cannot use the CTRL key any more i...My problem is I cannot use the CTRL key any more in my win7 box. was using tsclient in 10.04 fine but upgraded to 12.04 and Remmina. Why cant I cut/copy/paste in my remote terminal using either CTRL key any more? I can't alt+tab either. I can't open a link in an email that I was replying to at all because the only way to open it is to press CRTL +Click. It seems all my shortcut keys are not working.
