Supported shortcuts during Mac-Mac remote sessions

Note: We list detailed supported and unsupported shortcuts during a Mac to Mac remote session in this article, so it is a long list. We suggest you could use Search function (press control+f) at this page to find the shortcuts you need then confirm they are supported or not.

You could also refer to Apple official page to know what these shortcuts are for:

Tip: Some system shortcuts are restricted to the local computer by default (No below).  You can try adding Accessibility setting for Splashtop Business, restart the app and establish a session.  Most of the shortcuts will now go to the remote computer when the Splashtop window is in focus.
