Support full keyboard shortcuts

[Ritchie Liu]

Hi,

Is it possible to support full keyboard shortcuts such as "Crtl + Alt + Delete" and Windows Key + "?" combinations?

Though these shortcuts will trigger the client OS behaviors, but it is good to have these shortcuts being supported in the VNC session.

I've searched about this, and found a opinion as below:

The browser preventing JavaScript from controlling all keyboard shortcuts (which is the browser's prerogative)

Is this the reason that noVNC could not support full keyboard shortcuts?

Please help me on these questions, thanks.

The browser does indeed prevent us from grabbing the keyboard completely. Our full UI example provides buttons in the interface for sending many of these keys. Perhaps we should add SUPER aka "Windows key" to that list.
