At present, there's a server-side configuration file /etc/x2go/keystrokes.cfg (and optional per-user settings in ~/.x2go/config/keystrokes.cfg *on the server*) that define which key combinations trigger actions in X2Go, like suspending the session or toggling between fullscreen and windowed mode.
In windowed mode, it is currently impossible to switch from one application to another using Alt-Tab - it will always apply to the "outer session", the local display (X on Linux, GDI or whatever on Windows, $SOMEOTHERMAGIC on macOS).
Microsoft has the same issue with RDP sessions.
This is why Windows RDP sessions use the following mapping when running in windowed mode: <https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/windows/desktop/aa383500(v=vs.85).aspx> e.g. Alt-Tab is replaced with Alt-PgUp, and Alt-Shift-Tab with Alt-PgDn.
It would be nice if we could add this to our configuration, so that a set of Ctrl-Alt-$SPECIALKEY commands can get mapped to other key combinations inside the session, so that e.g. Ctrl-Alt-PgUp would trigger an Alt-Tab keypress/release inside the session.
