I connect from Ubuntu 13.04 (Gnome) to Windows 7 through TeamViewer

  • TeamViewer Windows - 8.0.19617
  • TeamViewer Ubuntu - 8.0.17.147

The 'Send Key' combination option in TeamViewer is enabled. Ctrl-Alt keys don't work. If I press Ctrl-Alt, I can select the open windows in Ubuntu, but not in Windows 7 on remote.

What is the problem?

If you use "Show position of pointer when the Control key is pressed" (mouse and touchpad settings) try to disable it. It did the trick for me...

    If you are running Ubuntu, go to "Preferences > Mouse & Touchpad" and turn OFF "Show position of pointer when the Control key is pressed". This fixed it for me and I can now copy/paste remotely to Windows.

In Windows, you might have issues if you are using VirtuaWin. Alt + Tabing worked until I used Ctrl + to switch desktops. Then keyboard shortcuts started failing. I think the problem has to do with other programs listening to system-wide keystrokes, so go through your programs to see which one might be causing the issue.
