I don't know if i am doing something wrong but i can seem to use alt + tab inside any tab when connected to a machine.

Is this by nature of the application or is there a setting i can change, i have had a look at the settings but nothing stands out ?

sorry, rookie error, i am such a n00b.

I went into the settings and realised there is a setting called Widows Key Combinations and set it to 'Send to remote computer'

Sorry to bother everyone
