I'm using version 2.1.0 of Remote Desktop Client on my 10.6 MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (version 10.6). How do I use the fn or cmd call to simulate a print screen on the remote system?

ALT + PAGE UP replaces ALT+TAB to “tab” through running applications in the RDP window.
CTRL + ALT + + (numeric keypad plus) takes a screen print of the remote desktop (just like using PrintScrn on a local computer).
CTRL + ALT + - (numeric keypad minus) takes a screen print of the active window inside the RDP window (just like using ALT+PrintScrn on the desktop).

Nope - none of those work in my session. alt + tab replace cmd + tab and the other two just don't do anything noticeable. I ended up just running cmd + shift + 4 and emailed the screenshot from one session to the other, but there must be a better way. My setup is OSX --RDC--> Win 7 VM. – mjb Jun 21 '11 at 22:44
@mjb You don't have a numeric key pad on your Macbook Pro. Did you connect a full size keyboard to test this? – Daniel Beck Jun 24 '11 at 10:33
I did not - didn't realize that's what your parenthetical comment implied. Let me give it a go. In the meantime, any ways around it on the straight keyboard? – mjb Jun 25 '11 at 23:30

if you click on the RDC menu at top of screen on OSX, click on preferences, then keyboard, you should have a Mac shortcut of option f4 (default) i actually remapped mine to option 1 (as i couldn't get option f4 to work on the standard bluetooth keyboard, but obviously you can map to whatever you like
