Note: Somewhat related to Chrome Remote Desktop Keyboard ShortCut Needed
The Problem
I found using the Chrome Remote Desktop that the Ctrl
key is not forwarded or recognized on the Mac as Mission Control Commands.
Workaround Attempt
So I started using the Chrome Remote Desktop WebApp beta on Windows 10, because it has key mapping!
I found that my best key mapping is to map the Crtl
key to CMD
. Which works well in the apps that I regularly use on the Mac for cut/copy/paste, etc. Yay! (this makes them work pretty much like my windows equivalents)
But the Mac Mission Control Shortcuts are still not working, because they depend on the Ctrl
key.
Using System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts
, I remapped the Mission Control Shortcuts so they use Shift+CMD
as the prefix to the arrow commands instead of Ctrl
.
Note: I entered these keyboard mappings from my Chrome Remote Desktop session. So I know that Shift+CMD+arrows
are making it over to the Mac.
Workaround Fail
When I use the Mac directly Shift+CMD+arrows
does exactly what I expect, the Mission Control actions get performed.
When I use Chrome Remote Desktop I get nothing.
Questions
- Is there some kind of setting I need to enable so that Mission Control will intercept shortcuts coming from Chrome Remote Desktop WebApp?
- Is there maybe a better way to enable Mission Control Shortcuts over Chrome Remote Desktop?
