I like to send the command, control and other system keys to hosts that I’m using ScreenSharing or Remote Desktop to access. But as I recently discovered, not everyone does. You can turn this feature off using the defaults command to augment the DoNotSendSystemKeys key of the com.apple.ScreenSharing.plist property list file. Simply run the following command:
defaults write com.apple.ScreenSharing DoNotSendSystemKeys -bool YES
To turn them back on:
defaults write com.apple.ScreenSharing DoNotSendSystemKeys -bool NO
Or for Remote Desktop, augment the com.apple.
defaults write com.apple.RemoteDesktop DoNotSendSystemKeys -bool YES
To turn it back off for Remote Desktop:
defaults write com.apple.RemoteDesktop DoNotSendSystemKeys -bool NO
FYI, if you don’t want to send the command keys I think you’re a little weird, but that’s OK. Hope you enjoy anyway…
