Sending key combinations

This topic describes how to send key combinations in IBM Director.

When you are using the Remote Control task, nearly all key combinations are automatically passed through to the remote managed system. However, operating-system requirements restrict the use of certain key combinations, for example, Ctrl+Alt+Del. The following key combinations cannot be used during a remote-control session because they interfere with the operating system on which the management console is running:
  • Alt+Esc
  • Alt+Tab
  • Ctrl+Esc
  • Ctrl+Alt+Del

However, in the Remote Control window, you can click Keystrokes and then click the applicable option to enter those key combinations for the remote managed system.

Additionally, you can set Accessibility Preferences within Console Preferences. You can set a preference for special keystrokes to be processed locally or remotely. This enables you to navigate through the Remote Control window using the keyboard.
