This is a UX issue. (e.g. if this is how it is designed to be, the design is bad and needs to be changed)

SUMMARY

I had to manually unset most of the KRDC shortcuts in order to make experience working with remote Windows machine tolerable. Some egregious violators are Ctrl+W (Disconnect) and Ctrl-Q (Quit), but basically I believe most of them must be unset by default, and the Switch to Full Screen Mode default should be changed to something more sensible.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Happily RDP into Windows machine
2. Try closing a tab in any browser
3. EXPERIENCE INSTANT PAIN

OBSERVED RESULT

Pain

EXPECTED RESULT

No pain

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11
Linux/KDE Plasma: NixOS 22.11
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0
Qt Version: 6.8.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

See attached screenshots for what I think is a sensible default (and I only kept F1 because it makes tangential sense and I rarely use that key in remote machines), compared to what is the current default.

I am prepared to defend any of the shortcuts that I propose to remove, but basically they all clash with common shortcuts used in the apps on the remote machine. Some of them even do the same things as most other apps, e.g. Ctrl+B takes over ability to bookmark in remote browser, Ctrl+W takes ability to close the tab, etc. Applies to most of them.

https://invent.kde.org/network/krdc/-/merge_requests/134 fixes this issue for me, overriding application shortcuts when "grab keys" is enabled.
