[X2Go-Dev] x2go keybindings / toggle key

[Moritz Struebe]

Hey,

I'm afraid there are currently no free(as in Beer) developer resources
to look into this. Basically one needs to catch the keystroke before it
reaches the window manager. While this is possible and probably little
effort for someone who implemented this before, its probably quite a bit
of work for someone not so familiar with the WinAPI.

Cheers
Morty
