So not sure if this should be in the Windows or the mac forum…
I’m connecting from a PC to a Mac. The alt and Win key are ‘swapped’. Habit is the key to the left of spacebar + tab is Alt-tab. However from the PC when connected to a Mac, I have to use Win key + tab, which is counter intuitive.
I swore I was able to swap this before, but I don’t see a setting either on the mac or the PC to do so?Thanks.
Maybe you altered a system preference? Is this the only key combination that is not behaving?
In the upcoming v9 we will be adding an option to swap Control and Command modifiers on the remote desktop. This new option in the NoMachine User Interface is intended to allow users to swap Control and Command modifiers, so that users connecting from macOS to Windows/Linux (or vice-versa) can comfortably continue to use their local shortcuts also inside the NoMachine session (Copy/Paste/Select all/Undo/Print/Search). When this option is not enabled, instead, the user has to use the remote modifier for applying keyboard shortcuts inside the NoMachine session.
In the meantime, you could check for a third-party tool that lets you change the Command+Tab to Alt+tab shortcuts. There are a few free options on the market.
Only combination I’m seeing so far. But sorry, by before, it was a completely different machine. This is a fresh install of nomachine on a newly imaged Macbook.
I don’t recall having to switch anything on the other Mac where it worked.
Oh – and any suggestion for what app to use? I haven’t seen any that would only work when I’m connected via nomachine.
You should definitely watch out for NoMachine 9, coming soon. A tool that only applies to NoMachine I don’t think exists 🙂 You could take a look at alt-tab-macos.netlify.app, though please note that we have not tested this and can’t guarantee that it will give the desired results.
