Chapter 3: Working with Target Servers 

 

Alt Gr 

Because of a limitation in the Java Runtime 
Environment (JRE), Fedora, Linux, and Solaris 
clients receive an invalid response from Alt Gr on 
United Kingdom and US International language 
keyboards.  

Fedora, Linux, and Solaris do not pick up events 
for the Alt Gr key combination for Java 1.5. Java 
1.6 appears to improve on this, although the 
keyPressed and keyReleased events for Alt Gr still 
identify it as an “unknown key code”. 

  

Further, a key pressed in combination with Alt Gr 
(such as on the UK keyboard Alt Gr-4, which is the 
Euro symbol), will only generate a keyTyped 
followed by a keyReleased event for that value 
without a keyPressed event. Java 1.6 improves 
upon this by filling in the keyPressed event as well. 

Alt+SysRq+[key] 

Since the SysRq keyboard stroke is used by some 
operating systems as a print shortcut, the Alt + 
SysRq + [key] combination is supported only as a 
macro when using DKX with RRC and MPC to a 
Linux target.   

 

 

When running MPC on a Windows JRE 1.4.2_x platform, if you press the 
Windows key 

  to display the Start menu, the Start menu will only 

appear on the client machine. The key is not sent to the target device. 

When running MPC on a Windows JRE 1.5.0_x platform, if you press the 
Windows key, the Start menu appears on both the client and the target 
devices. Use your mouse to manually close the Start menu if you do not 
want to use. 

Note that if you do not close the target device's Start menu properly, any 
key that you touch on your keyboard (that has a Windows key 
combination function) will send that command to the target device. For 
example, if you press E, the target device will open a new Explorer 
window. If you press D, all target windows will be minimized so you can 
view the desktop. To close the Start menu on the target device, click the 
Start button or click off of the Start menu.
