How to setup VNC Viewer Special Keys

[mmays]

I need the ability to send SHIFT+F3 to the Host. I see in the documentation that we can define "Any" key combination as a "Special Key", but cannot find and Doc. on how to do this??

If you turn on scroll lock, "special keys" like the windows key, alt-tab and others will be sent to the remote computer, instead of being acted upon by your computer.

Maybe that helps.

How, then, does one send the Scroll Lock key (used by an application running on the HOST)?

Because scroll-lock is used as key switch, it can not be send to the server.
This is the same as most kvm switches do

If you know the exact key code, you can send it as a special key (button)

what if my thinkpad does not have a scroll-lock?

No scroll-lock eh.
It would suck to do, but you could try opening up the keyboard that you can click on in windows, and use that one.. should be around the accessibility options or something like that.

thanks for the info.
btw if any anyone is still interested making a scroll lock out of f12 is:
F12::ScrollLock
in autohotkey.
i haven't tested it but is should work.
