You also completely lose the convenient ability to flip back and forth between fullscreen windows with ctrl-leftarrow and ctrl-rightarrow, something I do all the time, and can only leave a fullscreen RDC window by minimizing it from the title bar, so if you flip back and forth between a fullscreen remote connection and local mac apps a lot, suddenly it's nowhere near as easy. There is no middle groundДЇor instance, if you remap the ctrl key to cmd for RDC, then when RDC is in the foreground-even when you're not logged into a remote computer-you lose the ability to bring up Spotlight with cmd-Space, you have to remember to use ctrl-Space instead, only when RDC is in the foreground, which is no better than having to remember to switch to using ctrl instead of cmd for RDC sessions. It looks at what app is in the foreground, and based on that, either remaps keystrokes for all windows and applications, or doesn't. Karabiner is like swatting flies with a sledgehammer. After just a couple of days I can say that this is not an adequate solution, all it does is swap the problems for different problems. Thank you for taking the time research this and reply.

It would be really nice if this was something we could do in the RDC software itself. I will look into the 3rd party solution you mentioned and I appreciate you doing the research. If I take my hands from a Windows laptop to a MacOS laptop that is remoted into the Windows laptop, the physical placement of the keys is very similar, but the function is reversed. For example, the keyboards on the current version of the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 versus the 2020 MacBook Air. The physical placement of these two keys.

I'm talking about bone stock, straight out of the box - Windows 10, current/recent versions, MacOS, current/recent versions and the current/recent versions of the keyboards available from Microsoft and Apple themselves. Right, I understand there are variations in layouts, which is a different topic, but also lends support to the need for the ability to customize the keyboard layout.Д«ut I'm not talking about these outlier cases of custom/unusual/outdated keyboard layouts.

However per further searching, some users shared their experience to map the keyboard like usage of вЂњthird party app KarabinerвЂќ to customize the keyboard layout. The Alt key to the right of the space bar on the Mac keyboard equals the Alt Gr/right Alt key in Windows. The function keys can be activated in the session by pressing additionally the FN key (for example, FN+F1). To perform actions that use the Command button on the Mac, you will need to use the control button in Windows (for example Copy = Ctrl+C). The Command key on the Mac keyboard equals the Windows key. Some of these are Mac specific layouts or custom layouts for which an exact match may not be available on the version of Windows you are remoting into.ДЇollowing are examples for Mac keyboard layouts differ from the Windows keyboard layouts Mac keyboard layouts differ from the Windows keyboard layouts.

Is there any way at all to reverse these two keys? I don't need full mapping, just these two keys need to be reversed. This means that if you, like me, switch between Mac and Windows and RDC from Mac to Windows, the muscle memory is all wrong and you will constantly hit the wrong keys. Instead, what we have is that the first makes sense, but for some reason these last two are swapped: So it would make sense to map in that order, from left to right, wouldn't it? On a Mac keyboard the keys to the left of the spacebar, in order from left-to-right are: (For example, on Apple and Microsoft's own websites at the keyboards they make and sell) The mapping of the Command and Option keys to the Windows keyboard layout is backwards to every US keyboard layout I can find. Is there any way to remap keys on the MacOS version of Remote Desktop?
