No, no, this is definitely not what I have suggested above. The F8 key does
NOT let you send an arbitrary keystroke, say an Alt+Tab, to the remote
machine. What I have suggested is not implemented and needs implementation.

The problem was the keystrokes were swallowed by windows before the VNC
client saw them. I do know the various sequences, include Ctrl-Esc for
coming out of full-screen mode. The problem was that VNC does not give you
the ability to send those keystrokes to the remote machine.
