Home Screen Keyboard Shortcuts
Depending on the type of application window you are using (full screen, standard, or
seamless), you can use shortcut keys (see Table 2) to manage windows. Note that you
can also define shortcuts for launching applications (see "Keyboard").
TIP
: The shortcut keys Alt+DownArrow (allows you to switch windows using a dialog
box) and Alt+Ctrl+DownArrow (minimizes or maximizes all windows) are useful for
navigating multiple remote sessions without having to log out.
CAUTION
: If inside a session, some connection types will grab all the keystrokes and
the shortcuts may not always work. Be sure to check product release notes for the
latest details.
