Settings, Karabiner, etc.

Is there anyway that I can just get Cmd-P passed through?

Where are you seeing the display menu? On the client or the server?

Are both the client and server macOS?

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

I managed to "fix" this problem using karabiner elements and mapping CMD-P to Option-P.  Definitely the Mac side app was intercepting CMD-P and popping the Display menu.  Normally Cmd-P on a Mac would pop the Print menu.  Anyway I have an adequate workaround and am happy.  Still it would be nice to disable this behavior if the Cmd key is disabled in the options.
