Ratings and Reviews
Best connection to Windows computer!
This just works flawlessly. When I'm using it from my Macbook, it's like I'm directly using my Windows PC :)
Very poor quality
I don't know how this application got its 4.7 of 5 rating. The connection to the remote machine has a very low quality, the application chooses by itself a network speed setting and I can't change anything about it. The old Remote Desktop Connection application from Windows allows changing such a parameter (it's under the Experience tab) and the quality improves drastically. The Remmina application from Linux also allows changing such a parameter and ... yes, the quality improves drastically. For whatever reason this application and its Windows App store counterpart don't allow changing that parameter. I have given 2 out of 5 stars only because it connects to the remote machine and I can see the UI. But working on the remote machine is another matter.
mapping control key to another key
Hi,
I would like to use the same key combinations for ctr + c and ctrl + v in OSX and on remote session. There is an option in settings related to this but didn’t see to have any effect if was checked or not.
It is possible to add a settings option to specity what key from OSX will map to what key in remote session?
Unrelated: when I first tried to use this version of application, on a MacBook Pro with touch bar, it didn’t connect to a remote computer if the function keys were not forced to be displayed on touch bar. It didn’t give an error, only weird sounds and had to be forcely closed.
