Remote Desktop Connection (akaTerminal Server) Keyboard Shortcuts
I use Remote Desktop all day at work. It is especillay helpful when writing documentation. One of the problems I always run into is trying to remember which keyboard short you can use to capture a screen-shot in a TS session. Since I had to dig these up again today I decided to post them here where they are easy (for me) to find.
