Oh, and as for a key to get "back into the remote", I find that if I alt-tab (while on the host) to the tv remote window, then I am "in" the remote and back to shortcuts working "in the remote" (until I hit that shortcut and get back to the host.). So to prove it for me, I setup that shortcut (on the host), then I went into the remote and did alt-tab, and confirmed it was moving around WITHIN THE REMOTE, then I hit the new shortcut (and saw the momentary flash of the command prompt), and then used alt-tab and confirmed it was moving around on my host. But then your keyboard shortcuts (like alt-tab) should now work on the host, not the remote.

And it may take a couple of seconds to happen. Second, to be clear, there will be only the slightest visual cue of anything happening (the command prompt window on the host will open and close, perhaps imperceptibly). But if your remote TV is windowed (even with the maximize button, where you can still see the TV status bar showing the remote name at the very top left of your remote window), then the keyboard shortcut works (for us). Well, it may depend on what you expect to happen.įirst of all, are you trying this in a windowed or a full-screen remote TV window? If full-screen, then no, it won't work. I do wish TV would offer it as a native feature, like **Third Party Product** had, but until then, this'll do!) So thank you VERY much for finding this thread and offering your suggestion (and thanks to whoever marked it as the solution. (And yes, I can just connect to the 3rd machine from the first, as well.) For me, I have used ctrl-shift-/ on the first machine, and ctrl-shift-\ on the intermediate machine. I'll just need to choose (and remember to use) an alternative keystroke.

I suppose the only negative is that if in the REMOTE one wants to also use TV to connect to yet some 3rd machine, then in defining this shortcut on that intermediate remote, it can't be the same key. Win+Shift+M, Restore minimized windows on the remote desktop.

But I can confirm that it does indeed work for me (also on Windows 10 and TV 13 (both versions for the host as well as the remote). Chromebooks and Macs do not have a Pause key. It seems a bit odd that it works, as one wouldn't necessarily expect expect such a shortcut defined OUTSIDE the TV remote to be accessible when INSIDE it.
