I’m using Remote Desktop app (RD Client) on my iPad to access my Windows 365 environment. It generally works very well, but there appears to be a problem detecting certain keyboard combinations for web apps (ie, URL starting with “app”, like “app.Smartsheet.com”). 

 

For example, if I want to indent a row on Smartsheet, I would typically type “ctrl + ]”. No problem doing so on Remote Desktop on PC or Mac, but the RD Client iOS app can’t detect this. Same for hitting spacebar to tick a checkbox. 

 

Also can’t detect “ctrl + Enter” for another web app (app.tegus.co). 

 

However, standard keyboard shortcuts like “ctrl + c” or “ctrl + v” work fine even in web apps. 

 

Doesn’t appear to be a problem with the iPad Magic Keyboard, since I tried with a standard Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and these key combinations still don’t work in web apps. Same Logitech keyboard works fine when connected to a PC or Mac to access Remote Desktop. 

 

I have updated my RD Client app too. 

 

Would greatly appreciate some help here. 

 

Thanks!
