Is there a vnc client for android that supports forwarding special key combos, such as super+return? - eviltoast

I’ve been looking around, and with every vnc cliend I can find, when I press for example super+return, the vnc client gets backgrounded and the android “desktop” is shown.

Does anyone know of a client that actually captures the keyboard?

    AVNC is open source and it at least has a mini keyboard where you can queue Super to be held with your next keypress

    If you’re using a USB or Bluetooth keyboard, it’s probably not possible for you to use your actual super key on it. That gets translated to “Home” in Android which is why you go back to your launcher. For whatever you’re trying to do, software keys is probably the only option.
