Ctrl-Alt-Del button in Toolbar

[jHal]

I would like to see an option to add a "Ctrl-Alt-Del" button in the toolbar near the "Stop", "Pause", and "Start" buttons.

Many tablet PC's have a single button on the bezel that sends a "Ctrl-Alt-Del" command. A button in the toolbar could provide the same function.

I am aware that it is in the Actions -> Send Keys... menu, having a button would be much more efficient.

Why not just type it? It seems that's the most efficient way to send the keys.

send keys vs button

On a MacBook or a MacBook Pro keyboard, there isn't a true "del" key. It's actually a backspace key.

Maybe there is another key combo that I am not aware of on the MacBook or MacBook Pro.

Under Boot Camp the sequence was fn-CTRL-ALT- Delete(meaning "Backspace"). I have found that to also work in Parallels, although I prefer to use Actions/Send Keys...

Not quite. It's ctrl-alt-fn-delete. The ordering is important as the "fn" key applies only to whatever's pressed next.

Sequence is important

Thanks palter.

It's the same, but different.

Your right, the sequence is important. That would explain why it only randomly worked for me on my MacBook Pro.

Even so, clicking once on a button that represents "Control Alt Del" beats pressing four keys on notebook keyboard.
