Thanks for trying, Glenn, but no, using both shift keys with the delete key didn't work. It still operated as if I just hit the delete key with no shift key held down.
Is this a known bug, on a list to be fixed, a permanent restriction, unknown, what? Thanks for any info anyone can send. -----Original Message----- From: Glenn Mabbutt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 10:26 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: problem with sending shift-<delete> Sorry, I meant the <shift>+<whatever_key> pattern works where <whatever_key> is normally a control key or key combo - hence the cntrl-alt-del scenario. Basically my theory is the viewer might be confused by the shift key with del for some reason - I'm thinking it might get "unconfused" if you hit both shift keys. It sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Exactly why, I don't know, I personally haven't taken the source code apart as yet. -----Original Message----- From: Mickey Ferguson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 12:54 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: problem with sending shift-<delete> I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand. How would I send <shift>-<shift>-del? I'm just holding the shift key and hitting the Delete key. So when I do that, it doesn't send <shift>-Del? How is that different from my holding shift and then hitting the 'p' key, thus attempting to type a capital P? Doesn't it send a capital P? -----Original Message----- From: Glenn Mabbutt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 9:09 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: problem with sending shift-<delete> VNC viewer interprets <shift>-<whatever_key> as the key code to transmit <whatever_key> to the vnc server - ie, sending <shift>-Cntrl-alt-del to a Winvnc server should trigger the cntrl-alt-del response on the remote side. Some keys do work normally, however. You can try sending <shift>-<shift>-del and see if that works. Otherwise, I have no suggestions... -----Original Message----- From: Mickey Ferguson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 11:33 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: problem with sending shift-<delete> > I've noticed that if I click the Delete key on my keyboard while holding > down the shift key, it doesn't seem to send anything different than if I > don't shift it.
