I tried omitting the vendor and product ID from the file hoping that would be interpreted as 'all' keyboards, then rebooted, but it had no effect. I spent awhile searching if there might be a vendor/product ID for the virtual remote control keyboard or if you could swap keys on 'all' keyboards but could find no solution.
#VNC FOR MAC OD SIERRA HOW TO#
Explains how to modify the files used by System Preferences directly and it shows the settings affect a keyboard identified by its unique vendor and product ID. Normally you can swap cmd/ctrl keys using Apple System Preferences Keyboards Modifier Keys., but it only affects the local keyboard, not keys sent by remote-control software. VNC Viewer Pro - VNC Viewer Plus can stay connected while rebooting so you can watch the boot sequence or configure the BIOS, remotely power the computer on and off to conserve energy.
#VNC FOR MAC OD SIERRA FOR MAC OS#
Supposedly they will release an update to swap the keys on the NuoRDS server end but no ETA given. Free download VNC Viewer Pro VNC Viewer Pro for Mac OS X. They initially suggested running Ukelele on the Mac but after some investigation, they admitted Ukelele can't alter the meaning of modifier keys like Cmd and Ctrl (nor can ). I finally tried a trial of which costs $39 and uses the VNC protocol, yet for some reason it's enormously faster when connecting to OS X's built-in VNC server (known as 'Screen Sharing' in system settings) than any of the other clients. UltraVNC was the fastest of the lot if set to 'Ultra' speed on a LAN but drawing menus would still stall for up to 5 seconds and it has zero support for sending Cmd key. I've tried all the free VNC clients: RealVNC, TightVNC, TigerVNC, UltraVNC, and TurboVNC and they are all laggy in various places, even on a LAN, and each has various problems with transmitting system keys, especially Cmd-Tab. So far, I have resisted paying Aqua $249 knowing that their software may become useless with a future macOS update and they might not fix it for 1+ years again.

IRapp had OS X El Capitan support a few months after it was released, but when I asked for a trial license from Aqua they said Aqua is still a week or more out from having a beta with support for El Capitan (and this was over a year after EC was released!). Aqua is supposedly faster (they've improved on the RDP protocol and call it AAP) but unfortunately they are slow in development. In fact, Aqua was first with RDP and they sued iRapp for reverse engineering their product, but lost the case.
