Microsoft Remote Desktop 4+

It mostly does what it says on the tin. However, there should be a way of toggling between the keyboard effecting only the remote desktop and the machine (a mac here) that your remoting via. Currently too many shortcut keys, shuch as closing a window instead of closing the remoted software's window closing the whole Remote Desktop App. Then you have to log back in after which it takes 10 mins or so for video editing software to get audio sync back. This will happen quite often as it's very difficult to not use those shortcuts that you've been using for 20 years. Also the software gets cofused when using keys such as Control, thinking youspeaking to the remote PC rather than the software on that PC. 'In the flesh' this confusion doesn't happen, so it's definately something to do with the remote software. But those quite annoying problems aside it does the job.

I don't normally write reviews but thought I'd add this as advice. It works fine apart from the keyboard mapping.

To get correct keyboard mappings from mac keyboard to windows it is best to set in the RDP app 'Connections->Keyboard Mode->Unicode' rather than the default of Scanmode. Then all my keyboard issues went away (wrong keys @ swapped for ", \ for `, etc.)

It might be worth the developers (if they ever read this) making the default Unicode, as the Microsoft help goes into detail about trying different keyboard mappings within the Windows OS, none of that works. Only place I found this information was buried on a non-microsoft forum after all the usual bits about swapping keyboard locales in the Windows OS.

The latest version is not nearly as stable as the now-superseded earlier versions, which will not work with MacOS Big Sur. If you are on Catalina, do not upgrade to this. There are too many OS glitches, with the menu bar randomly disappearing from the top of the screen, pointer and screen items misaligning semi-regularly as the window jumps into a slightly incorrect postiion on the screen, but the pointer remains correctly orientated so that they are a few pixels out with each other. Stealing focus across multiple screens, so that all windows activate, rather than simply the screen that you're working in, meaning that anything running on the native computer gets bumped off of the screen until you minimise windows. Basically, the previous generation of this program worked much better. This does all of the same stuff, but the glitches reduce productivity. If you are running any version of MacOS before Big Sur, avoid it at all costs; if you're running Bug Sur, sadly you're stuck with it.
