On Ubuntu 16.04 rdesktop grap all the lokal keys in fullscreen mode (except Ctrl + Alt + Enter to toggle the fullscreen mode) by connection to a windows 7 desktop.
Now I updated to Ubuntu 18.04 with classic (not canonical modified) Vanille Gnome Desktop. The local keys like Ctrl-, Alt- and Windows-Key are now not grapped by the fullscreen rdesktop.

Do yo have any idea how to managed it to grap all the keys and forward it to rdesktop fullscreen mode?

rdesktop: 1.8.3
Desktop: Gnome 3.28.1

It sounds like you are running GNOME on Wayland. Unfortunately it has no
support for grabbing keys (yet). The only fix is to switch back to
running GNOME on X11. If you log out you can hopefully switch your
desktop environment. You should have a choice along the lines of "GNOME
on Xorg".

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
