How to send Windows key over VNC to Linux from Windows?
- by MJBoa
Alright, so I'm running Linux with AwesomeWM on my home machine. I'm running x11vnc on that machine and I want to connect to it from a windows machine. So it suffices to say that I need the Windows key for my home machine to function.
I really like TightVNC, but I have found that only RealVNC is able to send the Windows key presses that I need. My problem is that RealVNC is sorely lacking customization and I feel it's inferior to TightVNC and unusable.
I know that Ctrl-Esc sends the windows key press in Tight but then I can't use it as a modifier key. Useless.
Anyone have any ideas? I don't think it's a server issue since I've tried Tightvnc server on the linux machine and it still doesn't work, at least in TightVNC. It works with Real anyway.
Oh and UltraVNC doesn't work either.
