Description

The "meta" key has historically been left unmapped for RDP connections to ensure Mac users do not inadvertently open the start menu, etc. when connected to Windows machines via RDP, as the Mac "Command" key and the PC "Windows" key are the same.

When the RDP connection is actually to another Mac, not to a Windows machine, this complicates matters, as there suddenly is no way to type standard Mac shortcuts using the Command key.

The key really should be properly mapped.
