Some hotkeys are not passed to Screen Sharing

[Gaetano]

Hi,

I experience that it is not possible to send some Alfred activating hotkeys to a Screen Sharing session.

In details, during a Screen Sharing session, if Ctrl+Space or Opt+Space is chosen as Alfred hotkey both on local and on remote machine, always the local instance of Alfred is opened, even if Screen Sharing window is focused.

If the hotkey is Cmd+Space on both the machines, Alfred is opened on the remote machine.

This happens with the latest v2 on both sides (but happened also with previous versions) and with the latest Mountain Lion on both as well.

 

Have a nice day

Alfred doesn't have control over this as he registers hotkeys with OS X and these are passed back to Alfred from OS X when they are triggered. OS X blocks certain things in this scenario so there isn't much Alfred can do unfortunately.
