I want to know if it's possible to pass the Alt+Tab key combination to the TigerVNC server running on Linux from the TigerVNC viewer from windows.

When I press Alt+Tab the windows task manager kicks in, in Real VNC the alt+tab kicks the Linux's task manager.

Thanks

System keys (like Alt+Tab) are only grabbed when you are in full screen
mode. There has been requests to also have the option in windowed mode,
but it's not something anyone has implemented yet.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
