I would like the approach used in VMWare:
When the mouse pointer is within the virtual machine's screen (that is,
not only is the window active, it's having the mouse pointer within its
zone) all ALT and Ctrl combinaisons (except Alt+Ctrl+Del) are
transmitted to the virtual machine.
This is different from what is suggested in that website. The
advantage is that Alt+Tab can work in server side as well as in client
side --- you just need to move your mouse away from the window. Very
convenient. This approach also allow other combos to work like
Alt+PrnScrn to capture single foreground window.
It would be nice if VNC could be programmed like that.

Subject: Re: Alt Tab support for vncviewer.
The viewer I suggested at <http://www.mazleg.com/vncviewer/> handles
this situation by making Alt-Tab work on the remote if the VNC Viewer
is the frontmost app, but passing it on to the OS if it isn't. This
also adds the ability to use Alt and Control natively (no having to
mess around with Ctrl-Down/Ctrl-Up or Alt-Down/Alt-Up menu items).

You can toggle these features off with the Scroll Lock key, so that if
you want it to work the old way, it can. I've asked the author to add
the ability to send the Meta key, for Unixes or for the Mac Option key,
but I haven't received a response.
