I really don't like the way keyboard is handled in the Windows
TigerVNC viewer - even if I disable "Pass special keys directly to
server", they're still passed, except that the client also sees them.
Unfortunately, this often leads to Alt key getting stuck on the server
when I Alt+Tab away from the TigerVNC viewer. Other special keys are
also passed to the server, but they're a lesser annoyance compared to
the Alt key getting stuck.

I don't remember this ever being a problem with the TightVNC viewer,
nor with UltraVNC viewer (which has a very nice feature to toggle
passing of special keys by pressing Scroll Lock), but unfortunately
they have some other annoyances that prevent me from using them.

Is there any way to completely prevent the Windows TigerVNC viewer
from passing special keys to the server?
