Quick Ref: Remote Desktop Special Keys by Sam C. Chan
 
January 30, 2008

While using Remote Desktop (RDP), there's a need to distinguish between the local and remote sessions, when using Windows special keys. This is accomplished via an RDP-equivalent set of special keys, to be used within the remote session. pcAnywhere, in contrast, handles it by prompting you each time the special keys are invoked.

Remote Local Function

Alt+PgDN  Alt+TAB Switches between programs: left to right.
Alt+INSERT  n/a Moves though programs in the order they were launched.
