In addition to the standard alphabetical keyboard, Remote Mouse provides a Shortcut Bar<\/strong> and a Numeric & Function Keypad<\/strong>. Together, these three input methods cover the full range of shortcuts and key combinations available on a physical keyboard, making it easier to control your computer efficiently from your phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The examples below show how Remote Mouse keyboard shortcuts work in real use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shortcut Bar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Shortcut Bar can be used together with other keyboards and special input panels.
It automatically adapts to the connected computer\u2019s operating system, displaying the appropriate keys for Windows<\/strong> or macOS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The four keys on the left<\/strong> are modifier keys<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The three keys on the right<\/strong> provide quick controls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Modifier keys can be combined with either the English keyboard<\/strong> or the Numeric & Function Keypad<\/strong> to send shortcut commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Using Keyboard Shortcuts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Because of the limited screen size on mobile devices, shortcut key combinations are entered step by step<\/strong>, rather than pressed simultaneously as on a physical keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"
    Example: Ctrl-Z
    Tap Ctrl<\/strong> first, then Z<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Using Multiple Modifier Keys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    To enter a shortcut that includes two or more modifier keys<\/strong>, long-press each modifier key in sequence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"
    Example: Shift-Command-Up
    Long press Shift<\/strong>, long press Command<\/strong>, then Up Arrow<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Windows Logo Key Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    On Windows<\/strong>, the Windows logo key<\/strong> can also be used as a modifier.
    To include it in a shortcut combination, simply long-press the Windows key<\/strong>, along with any other required modifiers.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"
    Examples: Win<\/strong>, Win + M<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Canceling Modifier Keys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    To cancel an active modifier key, tap it again<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
