Description

When connecting to an Android device, when i press the Windows key, or ALT TAB, Rustdesk captures these keys (ie my Windows / Task list doesnt come up on my laptop), but the APP list doesnt show up on the android tablet, or the Home screen.

Rustdesk PRO server.

Is there a way to send keyboard shortcuts, i know this isnt an Android limitation as TV allows for this, but i hate that product

Research direction

No source files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by reproducing the missing Windows-key and Alt-Tab behavior while connected to Android, then trace the Android keyboard-input handling entry point. Done means those shortcuts reach the Android device's app-list or home-screen behavior without preventing the local shortcuts.
