VNC / Remote Desktop Compatibility ?

[roysubs]

Hi,

I guess, like me, a lot of people are using DoubleCommand to make Control-X, Control-C, Control-V work as they do in Windows and Linux. I use it for that function only, and it works great.

Problem : when connect to a Windows box via Remote Desktop or VNC, Control is still remapped so that Control-X, Control-C, Control-V don't work in the Remote Desktop session !!!

Proposal to solve this : In DoubleCommand, an "Exclude Applications" option could be added. Then users could say add Remote Desktop as an excluded app so that inside Remote Desktop the Control key would function as expected in Windows.

I hope this is possible, as I think it would be a very useful function.

Thanks,

Roy.

This has been requested almost since DoubleCommand existed, and because it is not possible in the kext, I haven't put any more thought into it. But reading this now it occurs to me that the prefpane could potentially keep track of excluded applications, and monitor events for the app with focus, and just change the sysctl var based on that. This might well be added to DoubleCommand in the future.
