Alt tab not working
My setup is a desktop pc as the host, then a laptop as the viewer and keyboard, both connected via an ethernet cable between each other. Before now, alt tab done on the viewer keyboard was received by the host properly, now its received by the laptop instead but still sends alt to the host desktop in a way where it cannot be unpressed until the viewer presses it again(although this seems inconsistent). I’m not sure if there was an update or what but I don’t use the laptop for anything other than Spacedesk so not much varies in what’s running or what’s updated, my last Windows update was about a week ago, and my last Spacedesk viewer restart was about when this issue started. I’ve tried to find an old version of the viewer but couldn’t find anything besides one of my old installers that just redirects to the Microsoft store.
Im having the same exact problem as described. Im using 2.2.28 on the host pc and the windows store version of the viewer on my laptop
I have the same problem. Driver on Windows 11 Laptop and Windows Store Version Viewer on Windows 11 Desktop.
Hi @martin-20,
The issue has been reproduced and was forwarded to our developers. In the meantime, you may use the spacedesk Legacy Viewer available for download in the spacedesk Downloads page. Thank you.
It’s been 2 months – any news regarding a potential fix and an ETA when it might be delivered?
Hi Martin,
Unfortunately, we don’t have a fix available just yet, and there’s no set ETA at the moment.
I would like to add my support to resolution of this serious usability issue.
It was working perfectly a couple of months ago, i.e. able to alt-tab between windows on the remote machine.
Now we are stuck avoiding alt-tab as it brings us to other windows on the client machine while leaving a dangling alt in the remote machine (which we must cancel by another alt on the remote machine to avoid unexpected windows alt-behaviour).
To reiterate it is highly unusable in this state.
