To use the numeric keypad make sure you press the Num Lock key before you start using the numeric keypad. If you're using an Apple keyboard press the clear key before you start using the numeric keypad (the clear button toggles Num Lock on the remote computer).

    Is there anyway we can make this a permanent setting or default option?  If I'm not paying attention, I'll hit a number of the numeric keypad and the cursor will jump all over the place.  Likewise, when I get back to the office and start using my numeric keypad, it'll also be in the cursor movement function.  Thanks - your software is really great and so much better than the alternatives.

    Greetins,

    Is there a way to always launch an RDP session in macOS with the numeric keypad enabled in macOS and in the remote windows (numlock)... and also keep them always "synchronized"?

    It may seem silly but it is a nuisance that lasts over time and depending on which moments it is even more annoying: 250 working days a year with at least two logins a day (which is really more) are 500 "dumb" keystrokes. that they are unconsciously associated with a negative emotion for having forgotten to press the key before starting and that seen like this no longer seems like a small thing... I think it would be worth solving this with some option in the session configuration.

    Thanks in advance. It is very good software and it is worth working on solving these small repetitive annoyances.

    Thanks you very much,

     

    Saludos,

    ¿hay alguna forma de conseguir que siempre se lance una sesión RDP en macOS con el teclado numérico activado en macOS y en el windows remoto (numlock)... y además se mantengan siempre "sincronizados"?.

    Puede parecer una tontería pero es una molestia que se alarga en el tiempo y en según que momentos aún molesta más: 250 días laborables al años con por al menos dos inicios de sesión al día (que son más realmente) son 500 pulsaciones "tontas" que están asociadas inconscientemente a una emoción negativa por haberte olvidado de pulsar la tecla antes de empezar y que visto así ya no parece una pequeñez... Creo que valdría la pena solucionar esto con alguna opción en la configuración de sesión.

    Gracias anticipadamente. Es muy buen software y vale la pena trabajar en solucionar estas pequeñas molestias repetitivas.

    Muchas gracias,
