Hi Steeve,
that's already supported.
Just go to the "Input" settings of your RDP connection and enable both "Windows Keys Passthrough" and "Remap macOS keyboard shortcuts to their Windows equivalent".
Hope that helps!
cheers,
felix
The "Remap macOS keyboard shortcuts to their Windows equivalent" does not do anything for me. The "Windows Keys Passthrough" setting does work, but the remap feature does not remap the keyboard shortcuts.
Kevin,
which keyboard shortcuts have you tried?

felix
Same problem here. Trying to use copy and paste (CMD+C, CMD-V) and doesn't work. When I hit the CMD key, it thinks I'm hitting the Windows key and brings up the start menu.
Hi Matt,
do you have "Windows Keys Passthrough" and "Remap macOS keyboard shortcuts to their Windows equivalent" enabled in the "Input" settings of your RDP connection?
Also, are your modifier keys in "System Preferences - Keyboard - Modifier Keys..." configured as default or did your remap them?
cheers,
felix
"Windows Keys Passthrough" and "Remap macOS keyboard shortcuts to their Windows equivalent" are enabled. Yes, I have changed my modifier keys:
The next version will allow you to remap modifier keys in "Preferences - Connection Types - Remote Desktop - Plugin Settings".
Once the next version is available, please let me know if this works for you!
thx,
felix
The first beta version that supports remapping modifier keys is now out.
Get it here as usual: https://www.royalapplications.com/go/kb-ts-mac-downloadbeta
Flex, where is that option?
Hi Matt,
you can find this under "Preferences - Connection Types - Remote Desktop - Plugin Settings".
cheers,

Is it possible to pass all remapped CMD key presses like CMD+N, CMD+W or CMD+Q to the RDP-Desktop?
In my case I've changed CTRL → CMD and CMD → CTRL, that means when I press locally CMD+X it will send to the remote-desktop CTRL+X (cut to clipboard) and if I press locally CTRL+E it will send CMD+E (opens explorer) to the remote-desktop.
Currently CMD+W dosn't get passed to the remote-desktop and closes currently the active session/window. CMD+N doesn't get passed, too. Instead of sending CTRL+N to remote-desktop it sends to Royal TS "New Document" shortcut.
There should be a way to pass all CMD actions to an remote-desktop when the remote-desktop is currently in-use/focus.
@Sascha: Unfortunately this is not supported at the moment when modifier keys are remapped.
This is a great feature, but can we get it for SSH/Telnet sessions?
For instance, on a Windows machine, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+Z are Copy, Cut, Undo, etc. In an SSH session using TN3270 or VT100 (or whatever) Ctrl+B, Ctrl+F is Back and Forward, etc.
I believe (but I’m not 100% sure) this is because (for example) Ctrl+B is sending ASCII 0x02 and Ctrl+F is sending ASCII 0x06. There are about a half-dozen Ctrl modifiers that I use when working with Cisco routers and Linux servers.
Now, on macOS we have CMD+C, CMD+X, CMD+Z, which are Copy, Cut, Undo, etc. So, you would imagine CMD+B, CMD+F would be Back, Forward, etc., in an SSH terminal
Nope. You have to use Ctrl+B, Ctrl+F, etc., which screws up all my muscle memory over the last twenty years.
Similar to the RDP feature, can we get an SSH/Telnet feature called “Remap macOS keyboard shortcuts to their Terminal equivalent”. It should essentially just reverse the CMD and the Ctrl key functions for the terminal session.
I’m an old-time Windows user switching to macOS. This feature would be super helpful. Thanks!
Hi Dan,
while we're not planning to add the exact feature you're suggesting, we plan to allow full keyboard shortcut customization in the next major release of Royal TSX. This should allow you to remap your shortcuts the way you want.
cheers,
