Working RDP Shortcut: ⌘ + Shift + S → Win + Shift + S (Snip & Sketch)

[romanvesely]

Just wanted to drop a massive thank you to you, because this tool changed my life. I’ve been struggling with this for ages, and finally having native-feeling shortcuts in RDP makes my workflow so much better. Seriously. Thank you for building this project. It is pure brilliance. ❤️

For anyone using Microsoft Remote Desktop on macOS and missing the native Windows screenshot shortcut (Win + Shift + S), here’s a working Karabiner rule that maps ⌘ + Shift + S to exactly that – it triggers Snip & Sketch flawlessly in the RDP session:

{
    "description": "Mac OSX RDP: Cmd+Shift+S → Win+Shift+S (Screenshot)",
    "manipulators": [
        {
            "conditions": [
                {
                    "bundle_identifiers": [
                        "^com\\.microsoft\\.rdc$",
                        "^com\\.microsoft\\.rdc\\.mac$",
                        "^com\\.microsoft\\.rdc\\.macos$",
                        "^com\\.microsoft\\.rdc\\.osx\\.beta$",
                        "^com\\.thinomenon\\.RemoteDesktopConnection$",
                        "^com\\.teamviewer\\.TeamViewer$",
                        "^com\\.vmware\\.horizon$"
                    ],
                    "type": "frontmost_application_if"
                }
            ],
            "from": {
                "key_code": "s",
                "modifiers": {
                    "mandatory": ["command", "shift"],
                    "optional": ["any"]
                }
            },
            "to": [
                {
                    "key_code": "s",
                    "modifiers": ["left_gui", "shift"]
                }
            ],
            "type": "basic"
        }
    ]
}
