Provide "Ctrl+Alt+Right Arrow" keyboard shortcut for Send Keyboard Clipstrokes

During a remote session, you can now use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+Alt+Right Arrow" to use the Send Keyboard Clipstrokes feature. (ScreenConnect Version 26.2 and higher)

I was very happy when I saw that by accident in Screenconnect, have been using it with success, until today. Apparently when a letter has a special character assigned to the key when pressing Ctrl + Alt, then the special character will be inserted in the password making it wrong (my example was the letter e on a German keyboard becoming a € sign). The key combination should really just insert the copied text and not alter it.

this works great. 

Is there a method available for MacOS or linux client?

Well thats just perfect. My company JUST got rid of screenconnect in favor of Ninja. Too little too late I suppose.

For those still looking, the mapping for this on Windows is Shift+Ins.

SHIFT+INS is just the same as CTRL+V, it's not a typing from clipboard it's just pasting, so it doesn't work for login screens or other places you can't paste.

Is there any update from devs on this?
Was requested nine years ago and many would really appreciate this feature.

At some point a MacOS keyboard shortcut got added to "send clipboard keystrokes", opt+cmd+v 

However, it's not discoverable in the UI. I think I was using my iPad as a 2nd screen and held down the command key or something and it showed a list of keyboard shortcuts (see link below), or I might have used the no longer available Cheatsheet App on MacOS. I don't remember for sure but it's great to know about!

They have added it to the Splashtop KB at some point...
https://support-splashtopbusiness.splashtop.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014349892-Splashtop-Business-App-Supported-Shortcuts-Hotkeys

Because they have shortcuts for it, you can have a custom macro/shortcut that invokes the "proper" shortcut. Not ideal, but I'm happy there's at least a workaround now. It would be nice if it was more obvious in the UI though (at least on MacOS).
