While in a remote desktop session in Windows 7, alt-tab to go back to the host machine
I use alt+tab all day long to switch between windows. When I'm working remotely, I'll use Remote Desktop to log in to my Windows 7 PC at work.
From the host machine, it's simple to alt+tab to switch to get to the remote machine.
However, on the remote machine, alt+tab doesn't allow me to switch back to the host machine, forcing me to use the mouse (gasp!). To be clear, I still want to see the guest machine's applications when I use alt+tab on the guest machine. I just want to be able to see the host machine as one of the options in alt+tab while I'm remoted in.
Is there a way to be able to alt+tab back to the host machine from the remote machine, perhaps via a 3rd-party add-on?

@Karan it's set to "Only when using the full screen," which is actually what I want. I still want to be able to use Alt+Tab on the guest machine, but I want to the host machine to show up as an option under Alt+Tab. Question updated accordingly.

Use ctrl+alt+break to restore the Remote Desktop window, so it is no longer full screen.
Then use alt+tab to switch between applications on the local machine.
When you want to go back to the remote machine, alt+tab to it, and press ctrl+alt+break to restore it to full screen again.

Worked for me. For those who don't have a Pause / Break key on their laptop, do a quick search, e.g. "ThinkPad Break Key". I learned that on my ThinkPad T530, I'd have to press Fn + Alt + B to send the equivalent of a Ctrl + Alt + Break. For some reason, using AutoHotkey to send^!{CtrlBreak}
(and many other combinations) didn't work for me—many others experience the same, though AHK did seem to work for some.

On my system (using windows server 2012 R2), I use ctrl+alt+home to get to the remote desktop bar and then alt+tab to move around the windows on local machine.

This is the best solution if you want to keep alt-tab working on the remote machine, but want to also be able to switch to local machine quickly.

@sashoalm It works on win7, but it "switches back" after a second. To work, I have to use: ctrl-alt-home, tab (and maybe another tab), then alt-tab.

This works to "get out" of the remote desktop session, but how do I get back in? When I alt-tab back, the session isn't capturing any keyboard input anymore, and the bar isn't in focus, so hitting esc to go back does nothing anymore.

Alt-Insert works in windowed mode, and is almost the same as Alt-Tab.
Alt-PgDown and Alt-PgUp are also useful.

Handy, but how does this get back to the open windows on the local machine? It only switches between windows on the remote machine.

You won't see a combined list, but if you Alt-tab for local, those others for remote, you can avoid the mouse entirely.

Inside options->Local Resources->Keyboard settings, Set the option to "on the remote computer" from the drop-down menu. Now you can Alt-Tab between the local machine and the remote machine using Alt + Tab and you can alternate between the remote windows using Alt-Insert shortcut suggested by Nik.

Well the Solution is here - Under Remote connectivity terminal (mstsc),Navigate to third tab
"Local Resources" and Select the first dropdown - Keyboard - "On this computer" This is amazing one and make your work much easier and further can switch between host computer and remote comp (in full screen mode)
But could not navigate into remote machine so in case revert the previous settings of dropdown to old menu and use the shortcut to switch between full screen mode and normal mode of remote PC - Control + Alt + Break.

For me following scenario worked properly
"Local Resources" and Select the first dropdown - Keyboard - "On this computer"
Afterwords you should use Alt+PageUp instead of Alt+Tab
This worked for me, is not the best solution but solve part of the problem.

This can be done with one keypress by using autohotkey.
Capslock:: ; replace by ^Capslock to use Control+Capslock
WinGet, id, List,,, Program Manager
Loop, %id%
{
this_id := id%A_Index%
WinActivate, ahk_id %this_id%
WinGetTitle, this_title, ahk_id %this_id%
if(this_title!="")
break
}
WinActivate, ahk_id %this_id%
Send, {Alt Down}{Tab}{Alt Up}
Return
The script above will alt-tab to the host computer whenever you press caps lock. FYI, the reason caps lock is used is because RDP really messes with autohotkey scripts and capslock is one of the few keystrokes that get sent to the home computer rather than the guest computer.
To get this to work, download autohotkey, save this script as a .ahk file and execute it on the home computer.
If you want to retain control over your capslock key, replace "Capslock" by "^Capslock" in the second line.

Win Key + Alt + Tab will work.
This key combination has the same effect as ALT + TAB for me. It does not let me leave the RD session and switch to a program on the host.

Try connecting through mstsc
(Start->Run->mstsc).
I was initially connecting through RDP Client and tried the solution provided above by Josh but it did not work. When I connect using mstsc
and applied the solution, it works.

What do you mean by the "RDP Client"? The "Remote Desktop Connection" actually ismstsc.exe

Ctrl + Alt + Break = Break out of remote desktop full screen
If your keyboard doesn't have the Break key, you can use:
Ctrl + Alt + Pause
Once you break out of the Remote Desktop full-screen, you can use
Alt + Tab = navigate to other applications
Windows + Up = full-screen focused application
This is a big productivity boost because you never take your hand off the keyboard to you mouse. If you get really good, you'll never have to use the mouse again :)

Still a nuisance six years later... I wanted to be able to alt tab inside and outside the server. The best of both worlds.
(Windows 10 Home, and Windows 2012 Server)
Nothing should go wrong, but since this grabs Left Mouse Button and Enter, probably save all your work first.
I gave my local computer full access to Windows Key Commands even while RDC is maximized
And then wrote an AutoHotKey script (I am not well-versed in it) that captured WIN+TAB (#Tab
), while RDC is open and then uses that and the ALT+Page Down built into Terminal Services to activate the server's ALT+Tab. Once it's open, you can navigate with arrow keys and enter/click to select.
If you can improve upon this, please do, and share.
#persistent
#Tab::WinTabbing()
return
WinTabbing() {
WinGetTitle, Title, A ; Get Title
StringRight, TitleEnd, Title, 25 ; RDC is 25 letters long
If (TitleEnd = "Remote Desktop Connection") ; Check that an RDC is active. This will probably have
; issues with the inital "connect to dialog of RDC
{
Send, {Alt down}{PgDn} ; Press and hold alt, and press pgdn
Hotkey, Enter, Entering, On ; Map Enter, Click, and their alt-counterparts to Entering()
Hotkey, !Enter, Entering, On
Hotkey, LButton, Entering, On
Hotkey, !LButton, Entering, On
return
}
}
; There is no return statement at the end of this function, because we want
; Control Tab to work when focused in any other window.
; I tried to map Tab/Alt Tab (because alt is still pressed) to Right arrow
; and Control Tab/Control Alt Tab to left arrow. I was unable to get it to work.
; I left the functions in comments if anyone want to try
; Righting()
; Send, Right
; return
; }
; Lefting() {
; Send, Right
; return
; }
Entering() {
Send, {Alt}{Enter} ; Releases Alt, and makes the selection
Hotkey, Enter, Entering, Off ; See WinTabbing()
Hotkey, !Enter, Entering, Off
Hotkey, LButton, Entering, Off
Hotkey, !LButton, Entering, Off

This works to "get out" of the remote desktop session, but how do I get back in? When I alt-tab back, the session isn't capturing any keyboard input anymore, and the bar isn't in focus, so hitting esc to go back does nothing anymore.

Alt-Insert works in windowed mode, and is almost the same as Alt-Tab.
Alt-PgDown and Alt-PgUp are also useful.

Handy, but how does this get back to the open windows on the local machine? It only switches between windows on the remote machine.

You won't see a combined list, but if you Alt-tab for local, those others for remote, you can avoid the mouse entirely.

Inside options->Local Resources->Keyboard settings, Set the option to "on the remote computer" from the drop-down menu. Now you can Alt-Tab between the local machine and the remote machine using Alt + Tab and you can alternate between the remote windows using Alt-Insert shortcut suggested by Nik.

Well the Solution is here - Under Remote connectivity terminal (mstsc),Navigate to third tab
"Local Resources" and Select the first dropdown - Keyboard - "On this computer" This is amazing one and make your work much easier and further can switch between host computer and remote comp (in full screen mode)
But could not navigate into remote machine so in case revert the previous settings of dropdown to old menu and use the shortcut to switch between full screen mode and normal mode of remote PC - Control + Alt + Break.

For me following scenario worked properly
"Local Resources" and Select the first dropdown - Keyboard - "On this computer"
Afterwords you should use Alt+PageUp instead of Alt+Tab
This worked for me, is not the best solution but solve part of the problem.

This can be done with one keypress by using autohotkey.
Capslock:: ; replace by ^Capslock to use Control+Capslock
WinGet, id, List,,, Program Manager
Loop, %id%
{
this_id := id%A_Index%
WinActivate, ahk_id %this_id%
WinGetTitle, this_title, ahk_id %this_id%
if(this_title!="")
break
}
WinActivate, ahk_id %this_id%
Send, {Alt Down}{Tab}{Alt Up}
Return
The script above will alt-tab to the host computer whenever you press caps lock. FYI, the reason caps lock is used is because RDP really messes with autohotkey scripts and capslock is one of the few keystrokes that get sent to the home computer rather than the guest computer.
To get this to work, download autohotkey, save this script as a .ahk file and execute it on the home computer.
If you want to retain control over your capslock key, replace "Capslock" by "^Capslock" in the second line.

Win Key + Alt + Tab will work.
This key combination has the same effect as ALT + TAB for me. It does not let me leave the RD session and switch to a program on the host.

Try connecting through mstsc
(Start->Run->mstsc).
I was initially connecting through RDP Client and tried the solution provided above by Josh but it did not work. When I connect using mstsc
and applied the solution, it works.

What do you mean by the "RDP Client"? The "Remote Desktop Connection" actually ismstsc.exe

Ctrl + Alt + Break = Break out of remote desktop full screen
If your keyboard doesn't have the Break key, you can use:
Ctrl + Alt + Pause
Once you break out of the Remote Desktop full-screen, you can use
Alt + Tab = navigate to other applications
Windows + Up = full-screen focused application
This is a big productivity boost because you never take your hand off the keyboard to you mouse. If you get really good, you'll never have to use the mouse again :)

Still a nuisance six years later... I wanted to be able to alt tab inside and outside the server. The best of both worlds.
(Windows 10 Home, and Windows 2012 Server)
Nothing should go wrong, but since this grabs Left Mouse Button and Enter, probably save all your work first.
I gave my local computer full access to Windows Key Commands even while RDC is maximized
And then wrote an AutoHotKey script (I am not well-versed in it) that captured WIN+TAB (#Tab
), while RDC is open and then uses that and the ALT+Page Down built into Terminal Services to activate the server's ALT+Tab. Once it's open, you can navigate with arrow keys and enter/click to select.
If you can improve upon this, please do, and share.

@Karan it's set to "Only when using the full screen," which is actually what I want. I still want to be able to use Alt+Tab on the guest machine, but I want to the host machine to show up as an option under Alt+Tab. Question updated accordingly.
