Re: keystrokes triggering remote windows events
You're right - the issue reemerged later last night. I fortunately was able to get it to stop behaving that way by hitting either the escape key or the Mac's Cmd key. I wasn't ever sure which key would work each time, so I can't tell you why each worked each time they did. In my case, the Mac never responded weirdly, it was the PC. Windows was catching the keystrokes before they got to the active application. I has the issue when using Putty on the remote Windows machine. Typing in the local IP address had windows flying up from all over the Windows screen. It was very jarring. I'm not sure what you're describing with full screen mode, but I tried what you said and didn't notice anything unusual.4.1KViews0likes1CommentRe: keystrokes triggering remote windows events
Just got off support for this same issue. Turns out it was related to the use of Cmd+Tab to switch applications on the Mac. I just updated to MacOS 12.0.1 Monterey today and the fix was to allow access to the AEServer application in the System Preferences. System Preferences Security & Privacy Privacy Tab Accessibility Find "AEServer" in the list on the right and check the box to allow that app to control your computer. This is the fix that worked for me. No more stray Windows events when using Cmd+Tab to switch applications on my Mac.4.1KViews1like17Commentskeystrokes triggering remote windows events
Host Computer: Mac running MACOS Monterey 12.0.1 Remote Computer: Windows 10 I get connected just fine and things work as expected and then something happens where keyboard input doesn't actually enter letters or numbers into the active application, but kets trapped by the Windows OS and starts throwing up windows and triggering OS navigation events. Mouse and cursor movement continues to work as designed. It feels like I've tripped a keyboard modifier key to signal the OS to capture the keystrokes, but I don't know how to get out of this mode short of disconnecting and reconnecting. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Solved4.5KViews0likes22Comments
