Hello UltraVNC team! Thank you for the great product. I want to ask you, can you "teach" UltraVNC recognize right Control and Alt keys. Is it possible to commit this change in next release?
P.S. Sorry for my english

Re: RAlt, RCtrl recognize
Did you tried it with scroll lock enabled.
The scroll-lock key is used to tell the OS that the hotkey need to be send remote else the OS capture the key before it reach the viewer.

Re: RAlt, RCtrl recognize
Yes, i work with scroll lock enabled but key codes for Alt/RAlt & Ctrl/LCtrl (maybe for Shift/LShift too) is similar. My configuration: viewer on Win2k, server on Win7 SP1 x64 (with x64 version of UltraVNC), UltraVNC version - 1.2.1.0.
Also i set nohotkeys option to 1 in viewers ini file because i use many hotkeys for macroses. I use a lot FAR manager and for example Ctrl+1 and LCltrl+1 make different operations.

Re: RAlt, RCtrl recognize
Example how to test this behavior.
1. Download and run any version of FAR on UVNC server machine (http://farmanager.com/download.php?l=en)
2. LCtrl+0..9 - set panel mode
3. RCtrl+0..9 - folders shortcuts (but they don't work because RCtrl don't sent by viewer)
N.B. To set quick folder number zero (RCtrl+0) press F9 -> c -> d than press Insert, Esc

Re: RAlt, RCtrl recognize
There are no settings and this is not something that can be fixed in a few minutes.
The only thing you can try is to use the alternate keyboard method ( viewer option)

Re: RAlt, RCtrl recognize
I did not find "Alternate keyboard method" in viewer (or viewers ini) but it present
in <Admin Properties> of server. When i turn it on, nothing changes, so i turn it off and try to scan key codes when Scroll Lock is off and it helps. So, if Scroll Lock is off RAlt & RCtrl works fine but turning on/off ScrLk not comfortable in use. Maybe with this information it will be easier to fix?

Re: RAlt, RCtrl recognize
viewer ->options->mouse and keyboard
On older viewers it's called japanese keyboard handling.
Indeed, it's also on the server site...can't remember why it's also on the server.

Re: RAlt, RCtrl recognize
Tried now with <Japanese keyboard> - same false result when ScrLk on.
What means <on older viewers it's called japanese keyboard handling>?
In last 1.2.1.0 viewer options exist only <Japsnese keyboard> and no <Alternate keyboard> option.
N.B. I guess both of this options must be turned on because if try to connect with <Japanese keyboard> but without <Alternate keyboard method> (on server) viewer crashing (throw exception).
