ALT-TAB support

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 2004-08-03 12:00

When I'm connected to a remote machine, I want to be able to switch applications with ALT-TAB.

i think it's difficult because Alt+Tab is usually trapped by the system in primitive layer, and in order to prevent the system from losing control upon active application's crash, hard to overwrap the task switching function, although capturing and sending the key combination is ok.
a realistic solution for this would be found in using substitutional key combination example of Ctrl+Tab.

any idea or correction appreciated.

Did you try it with activated scroll-lock...
This should disable the trapping

Helllo,
VMWare is able to catch ALT + TAB

Ultravnc also.....
You need to use the scroll_lock key to activate and desactive
special key trapping.

I'm sorry, I'm using 1.0.0 RC18, and it doesn't work. Nor does'nt work the send CTRL-ALT-DEL feature.

I've tried it on several systems, both W2K and NT, server and client, on none osf them it seems to work. Is there somewhere an option I've missed?

Ctrl-Alt-del only works when you run as service...

I'm using RC18 now and pressing the scroll lock then using alt-Tab works wonderfully. This is the one feature I was missing to make working at home just as good as working at work...

Mouse-over-VNC idea... Is a pretty good one, but make it configurable. Some prefer the ScrollLock method.

actually, Scroll-Lock is buggy !

Conflict with Narrator (even i don't use it !) with the winkey+E, S
