Sorry for the lack of response - your message did make it through to the
mailing list. The only insight I can offer on this is to note that, often
when keypresses don't make it through to Guacamole Client it's because
either the O/S or the browser is intercepting the key combination and it
cannot be passed through. That said, I'm not 100% certain that's what is
going on in your case - I know there have been some JIRA issues opened in
the not-too-distant past dealing with Super key issues, so it could be a
bug in Guacamole's handling of those keys. Maybe others can offer more
insight...

As mentioned in the previous response, this is going to depend upon the
ability for that key to be passed through to the Guacamole Client webapp
and not be intercepted by either the client O/S or the web browser itself.
If the client O/S or web browser are intercepting it then there's little
that can be done on the Guacamole side to capture it.

Keyboard lock functionality may change this once it is fully implemented,
but it hasn't been completed, yet.

The special Windows Key is picked up by client running the guacamole 1.2 RDP session.

Key only accessible thru On-Screen keyboard.


Is there way for Guacamole session to pick up?

Thanks, Adrian
