About the host key
When you are have a remote connection session open, Remotix captures your mouse and keyboard events for use within the remote operating system. To return ownership of keyboard and mouse to your operating system, Remotix has a special key on your keyboard reserved, named the Host key.

By default, the Host key is the left Control key on your keyboard. When you hold it down, Remotix stops controlling the remote computer and allows you to:

  • Pan and zoom the remote screen
  • Use shortcuts within your own operating system

To change the host key combination:

  1. Choose Remotix > Preferences… in menu.
  2. Go to the Viewer pane.
  3. Set the combination under the Host key section.
