Remote Desktop Connection includes keyboard shortcuts for the Mac that correspond to tasks on the Windows-based computer. You can turn off these default keyboard shortcuts or assign different combinations of keys to them. For example, you can turn off a keyboard shortcut that you don't use so that you can apply that same combination of keys to another task.

Do any of the following:

| ##### Turn off a keyboard shortcut

1. On the RDC menu, click Preferences, and then click Keyboard.

2. Clear the check box next to the keyboard shortcut that you want to turn off.

| ##### Change a keyboard shortcut

2. In the Mac column, double-click the keyboard shortcut that you want to change, and then press the combination of keys that you want to use instead.

   Note The new combination of keys must include one modifier key and at least one additional key, such as CONTROL+F10.
