Linux -> Mac Host Left Windows Key not mapping for shortcuts

[omegab]

Hi,

I am using the latest NoMachine binaries on Mac and Linux and I was trying to follow-up on issues with the keyboard shortcuts not mapping across as in other posts I found in this forum. I realise with some further testing that the Right Windows key is working fine, e.g. RightWindowsKey + C for Copy from a Linux client to a Mac Host.

Can you please advise what needs to happen to get the left Windows key to also work?

Hi,

sorry for the huge delay in gettin back to you. Probably the left Windows key is intercepted by the local window manager, despite the fact you selected, as I assume, the ‘Grab the keyboard input’ option. This option enables the so-called ‘passive grab’ of the keyboard, but it is also possible to enable the ‘active grab’. In order to try this, please quit the NoMachine player application completely (you can do this from the NoMachine icon in the tray) and start it again from the terminal using the following command:

/usr/NX/bin/nxplayer --activegrab

Let us know if this solves your problem.
