We have setup a screensaver that locks the screen after some minutes.On a windows PC, the user can press CTRL-ALT-END to unlock the screen.
However, on MACs without the END button, users cant get out of this unlock screen. ![]() What worked for me was the combination fn-control-altoption-delete. As you rightly point out this is not possible on a MAC keyboard. If after trying this you still have problems please reply back with details of the remote system you are connecting to, Windows XP or 7 etc. However, on notebooks and some smaller MAC keyboards (like the wireless keyboard), there is no DEL key. So the combination would be: CTRL-ALT-FN-BACKSPACE But that doesnt work. Using this keyboard I was able to perform the keystoke CTRL-ALT-FN-DEL this worked. I believe that non-English keyboards may have this key mapped to a different function. Can you try something for me to test this further, open a document and type some text then use the FN-BACKSPACE keys, this should perform a delete function. Now open a standard terminal window, not iTerm, and do the same test. I believe that the FN-BACKSPACE does not have delete functionality in this case. Instead is shows the character 2 ps: I also tried attaching a normal keyboard with DEL button, with the same result. Regional settings Dutch (Nederlands) I checked the modifier keys and they are correct. Is there perhaps a way that I could connect to this remotely using my MAC, or perhaps look at this further with you If you wish to log a support case we can follow up and try to get to the bottom of it.
