Hi,
I would like to get the following functionality from X2go.
I would like to use a key press to toggle between the 'keyboard focus'. I would press a key on the keyboard and the focus would toggle between the client and the server. That way I could keep the keybindings the same for both machines.
For example: I use i3wm on both machines. Windows key + fn key switches workspaces on both machines. I would like to press a key to toggle the focus between the client and server desktop.
So maybe I would press " " and it would set the focus to the server and then all my subsequent key presses would affect the server desktop. When I want to return to my client desktop I would press " " and it would set
the focus to the client.
I could change the keybindings for my window manager iteslf. In fact I may go this route if there is no solution for x2go. However I thought it might be easier to have a focus mechanisim in x2go.
Is this already a feature of x2go? If so how do I implement it. Maybe I could write something for the wiki.
If not, would it be difficult to enable such functionality?
I think this would be the same as ctrl+alt+k ( http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR03C00172) in the nomachine client. I too miss such a feature and hopefully this could be enabled in a future release.

The ctrl+alt+k feature in your link doesn't sound like what I describe at all.

Hi Colin,
there is the possibility of contracting a developer for such a
feature. If that is the case with your request, please contact Alex:

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

The alt+control-k feature should (in theory) be available with X2Go as
it seems (not sure, though) to be a feature of nxagent (which is also
used by X2Go as x2goagent).
With a quick test, this seemed to work, however, my desktop shell is
the ,,awesome'' desktop shell and things are different there.

Hi Mike, I just tried left alt+ left ctl+k and it did not work for me. From Terje's link I read Ctrl + Alt + K enable/disable the catching of Alt+Tab and Print Screen keys. How is this related to what I am asking?
If I had a job I would be willing to pay for it. However I only have a little money, and therefore could maybe donate a little for some guidance? Maybe you could tell me which libraries and or sources you would look at to implement such a feature and I could try to figure it out. I would like to learn more.
Regards,
Colin Williams

I am not at all sure where to start, but probably the last patch
provided to nx-libs.git on git.x2go.org would be an entry point:
