macosremote desktop
I use the ctrl button to emulate the right-click in OS X on my MacBook with an integrated trackpad.
When I connect to a windows computer with Remote Desktop I do not get to use the ctrl button in the same way.
Is there a way to configure this to get right click from the trackpad?
Don't forward local port 3389, various versions of Remote Desktop are too smart for their own good.
My usual steps involve forwarding local 3390 to remote 3389. Then, in MacRDC I use: localhost:3390 as the address to connect too.
I don't know if you're using anything to assist in the ssh connection setup, but from the command line, it would be something like:
ssh -L 3390:172.16.5.32:3389 jason@remote.net
Where;
- 3390 is the local forwarding port on my box.
- 172.16.5.32 is the remote windows host. and;
- 3389 is the Remote Desktop Port (obviously).
All you need to do is to select the Portuguese keyboard layout in software on Mac OS X and also select the Portuguese keyboard layout on the Windows 7 computer to which you are connecting.
You can customize the keyboard behavior in the Preferences of Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac.

Actually I use RDP from a Mac all the time to Windows servers. The right-click can be simulated with a two finger tap on a track pad. The same behaviour works from a magic mouse and magic track pad.
