I'm often using remote desktop for my computers and servers. In order to lock the remote computer you need to type in the sequnce ctrl+alt+end.  I can't type this in using the dock keyboard.

What am I doing wrong or what is wrong with the keyboard?

    Im'm also seeing that shift+fn+end and shift+fn+home doesn't work as expected. On regular keyboards that would be e.g. a selection of all text until end of line, but with the Acer keyboard dock, either it does nothing (like right now typing in this HTML edit box) or it will function like a regular home/end key, but not with shift at the same time and thereby selecting all text.

     

    I suspect the dock can't handle multiple keypresses of "modifier" key, when the Fn key is also involved.

     

    Please fix! This is making the keyboard sub-standard and can't really substitute a proper keyboard Smiley Sad

    Hi

     

    It looks like the problem has been solved by the driver/firmware package 2.11 (at least for the above mentionend key combinations).

     

    is there anybody who's able to confirm that the "Multikey" problems is actually solved, or is there still a problem with some key combinations?

    It's working with the 2.11 package. Also the" Windows button + Volume up", and "Windows button + power" on the tablet are working now.
