I have been using the beta viewer on Mac. I am happy with it.

Having trouble mapping the modifier keys (ALT, CTRL, SHIFT) from mac to windows but I'm working on it.

Can't figure out how to Shift+click.

I need to shift click something in  my application and I can't find a way to do it.

In windows file explorer shift+click brings up a menu that contains "Copy as Path". It also changes the "Delete" option into delete permanently (bypass recycle bin).

Also in windows file explorer, shift+Delete key deletes permanently (bypassing recycle bin).

There are workarounds  for those. The windows file explorer ribbon menu has a Delete drop-down that deletes permanently, for example.

I was using the application "FastCopy". it has a "Listing" button. If you click the listing button, it lists to the screen. if you Shift+click the Listing button, it lists to a file. I would like to list to a file. I can't find a way to do that.

I should have mentioned, Shift+character while typing does insert capital letters as it should. So the Shift modifier works in that case.

My mac viewer to windows 8 host is acting such that the Windows key is continually pressed on the remote machine.

Clicking around works.

But when I try to type a 'd' char, for example, into a text box, it shows the desktop (minimizes all windows) as if I had typed WIN+D.

I tried spamming the CMD and/or OPT keys, closing the viewer window and reopening, disconnecting and reconnecting.

I have not tried: rebooting the host (it's an agent, so I have to remember to set 'rerun after reboot' and turn off Windows UAC).

I aslo have not tried closing the whole viewer and restarting the viewer.

On the Plus side, rebooting the installed host reconnected automatically on my viewer side. I just had to re-enter the  password. But it reused the same viewer window and re-logged in and refreshed the display view to be current.

I have not now tried: rebooting the host (it's an agent, so I have to remember to set 'rerun after reboot' and turn off Windows UAC).

I also have not now tried closing the whole viewer and restarting the viewer.

None of it worked.

But WIN modifier key is off now, I'm not sure how that happened.

It happened again. Typing 'o' performed a WIN+O.

This time hitting the Shift modifier key seemed to break out of the WIN modifier down mode.
