Hello all,

I noticed that in VNC 4.1.1, the Windows viewer has the option to disable special Windows keys while in the viewer's main window. These keys include the Windows key, Alt+[Shift+]Tab, and a few others. But this option doesn't cover any application-defined shortcut keys which may exist on the client machine. For example, suppose that on both the client and server machines, Control+Alt+F starts an application. If I press Control+Alt+F while in the viewer, I want that keystroke to go to the server.

I see that a low-level keyboard hook is used to disable special Windows keys. I wonder why the hook procedure only sends certain keystrokes directly to the viewer's desktop window, instead of sending them all. I'm guessing there's a reason, but if only certain keystrokes are filtered, then I don't know of a way to make sure that all application-defined global hot keys are sent to the server. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Matt
