That makes no difference I’m afraid.

It’s almost like the client is designed to not pass this key, similar to other Ctrl+Alt shortcuts. The Windows key is passed through okay.

Can I somehow provide the key code being pressed in my Windows client (how?)

To be clear, I have a low resolution screen connected by dsub. so I can choose the appropriate resolutions, but they’re not very good for my widescreen guests with multiple monitors.

I did some more reading and dummy plugs appear to be the usual advice given so I’ll look at those.

[sshaikh]

Is there a way to override the resolution of the shared desktop, or increase the number of monitors?

I am only able to see a single 1280×1080 screen which of course doesn’t function very well on my guest widescreens.

That’s great. Yes I am using the free edition and was beginning to suspect it was a limitation of that.

I did try to find if this was case but wasn’t able to find an explicit explanation.
