If the iPhone Remote app worked like a real remote, it would be great. Pick up your TV remote and skip to the next channel - it's an immediate experience. Now try and skip an iTunes track with iPhone Remote. Slide/unlock the phone. Launch the Remote app if it isn't already. Wait for it to connect with your remote library. It takes 10-15 seconds just to _prepare_ to skip a track. > > But there is a defaults command as mentioned at MacOS X Hints. > There's a default for ScreenSharing and RemoteDesktop. > > http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20091219105029292 > > defaults write com.apple.ScreenSharing DoNotSendSystemKeys -bool YES > defaults write com.apple.RemoteDesktop DoNotSendSystemKeys -bool YES Cool to know, thanks.
