Switches between programs from left to right.

ALT+PAGE DOWN

Switches between programs from right to left.

ALT+INSERT

Cycles through the programs in the order they were started.

ALT+HOME

CTRL+ALT+BREAK

Switches the client between a window and full screen.

CTRL+ALT+END

Displays the Windows Security dialog box.

ALT+DELETE

Displays the Windows menu.

CTRL+ALT+Minus (-) symbol on the numeric keypad

Places a shadow copy of the active window, within the client, on the terminal server clipboard (provides the same functionality as pressing PrintScrn on a local computer.)

    • CTRL+ALT+END is replaced by CTRL+GRPH+VF1.
