10.6: Screen sharing/app switching compromise
Authored by: robogobo on Aug 17, '10 03:16:12PM

On my wireless aluminum keyboard, the expose key (f3) is not sent over screen sharing. So if I hit it I can cycle through the open applications with the arrow keys or tab key and hit enter when I get to the window I want.

10.6: Screen sharing/app switching compromise
Authored by: dcottle on Aug 17, '10 06:12:01PM

I hadn't thought of Expose, but it makes sense that it would work too. Once launched, tab works as well as com-tab to switch back to local control. That's probably easier then Spaces.

XCool: yes, that's the whole point. Com-tabs are sent to the remote machine. I wanted to preserve the command-tab function on the remote machine but still be able to switch from Screen Sharing (the remote machine) to the Finder (local machine).
