enable "pass special keys directly to VNC server" by default


I want to enable ALT-TAB in my VNCs by default, rather than clicking the top-left icon of the window, then properties, then clicking the checkbox for pass special keys directly to VNC server for every VNC window I open, every time I open one.

Using RealVNC viewer.

    • then in the drop-down menu, click

    • in the pop-up window, click
      • Expert
    • filter the list with
      • SendSpecialKeys
    • click the parameter SendSpecialKeys
    • click the Value drop-down
