Custom keyboard shortcuts for send Ctrl+Alt+Del and Send Clipboard Keystrokes
I would like to request the ability to map custom keyboard shortcuts to the above mention functions.

Please make sure the Mac client gets the keyboard shortcut for "Send Clipboard Keystrokes" as well
Yes, this would be quite useful, as it would essentially allow for the convenience of the "shared clipboard" feature without the security problems of actually sharing a clipboard. Given the small amount of work that it would take to simply add a new keyboard shortcut, a key combination to "paste" from the host side without actually populating the clipboard on the client side should be a high priority.
MacOS has support for systemwide 'App Shortcuts" - found in system preferences. These work by inputting the exact name of a menu item and assigning a shortcut. For example, here I have set command-v to be the shortcut for "Send Clipboard Keystrokes":
You can then see the shortcut appears within the connectwise client menu:
However, when you press it nothing happens (unless you already have the 'essentials' menu open, then it works fine).
I did find this:
If the devs could have a look at that and figure out what is preventing these systemwide menubar shortcuts from working, it would be an easy(er) way to add customisability in the form of shortcuts for every available menu option.

I've not used app shortcuts before! I configured it to use shift-cmd-D and it works without the Essentials menu being expanded. I suspect cmd-v might be conflicting with your system wide default for paste.
The other solution I've found was picking up an Elgato Stream Deck and creating a button maco that shifts app focus to ScreenConnect, focuses to the menu bar (F9), presses B which highlights the Essentials menu, presses down arrow twice, then hits enter. It works fairly well, but occasionally F9 will stop working and I'll have to fiddle with the keyboard/shortcut settings in System Settings to get it working again.
Replacing F9,B,down,down,enter with the app shortcut key combo you just showed me should make it even better!
This would be a wonderful feature to have
