Dear Maintainer, (I created this report in reportbug and copied it to this email.) I am using wayland with sway as my desktop. Both xfreerdp and wlfreerdp will get me to the host system and I can do my work, but xfreerdp will capture keystrokes so that I can use a keystroke to get to another desktop, for example. wlfreerdp with the same switches does not capture the keystrokes and they go straight to the remote windows system. (I use the windows key as the meta key for sway and it works fine with xfreerdp.) In order for me to use wlfreerdp, I need to be able to switch screens frequently, therefore I need the program to capture keystrokes in the same manner as xfreerdp. I am including the command line I use. When using wlfreerdp, I can set the dimensions with /size so that I can navigate with the mouse to a free area of my desktop but that is not a good solution. wlfreerdp /f /u:XX /p:XXXXXX /v:XXXXXX /g:XXXXX /gt:http /gu:XXXX /gp:XXXXXX /printer:home /log-level:warn -wallpaper +auto-reconnect
