Hi Steve,

>From an X2Go developer's perspective, there are 2 approaches that
NoMachine NX2 and/or NX3 used to use:

Same page, but on web.archive.org:

1. The "Ctrl + Alt + K" keyboard shortcut appears to not work with
X2Go. The article implies that it existed in NX2, but not in NX3. And
X2Go uses NX3 libs.
I looked at /etc/x2go/keystrokes.cfg (part of the nx-libs package),
and I do not see any other keyboard shortcut that can be used.

2. I'll try to find out what NX Client's "Grab the keyboard when the
client has focus" option was exactly. X2Go Client does not have any
option like that. It may have been an option for the client-side X
server.
