I do not believe we intend to develop any sort of "thick client" for Guacamole
- indeed, the stated goal of Guacamole is to be a "clientless" remote desktop
interface, where only a browser is needed.

Yep, exactly.
I don't think we would implement this as a feature of the project. I can see
there being some use for a native client to help isolate performance issues on
the browser side, but we generally shy away from adding this sort of thing as
antithetical to the project.
> 'Thick client' for Guacamole just like Win RDP (to support Alt + Tab)

> My company has recently implemented Guacamole for WFH - so far so good, it is
> pretty stable vs previous RDP infrastructure. So thanks to all your team out
> there!!
> However, the one thing I cannot get accustomed to is the inability to use
> keyboard shortcuts. It slows me down terribly, Alt + Tab muscle memory is
> just too strong...
> -> please is there a plan to develop a 'wrapper' - e.g. a Guacamole thick
> client that would support keyboard shortcuts (like Win 10 native RDP client
> does)? I would massively vote for that.
> After 1-2 MDs of experimenting, I have found a workaround - PFA diagram. Both
> source and target machines are Win 10 and I connect via Chrome. So I use a
> Linux VM as a go-between to supress / modify keyboard shortcuts reserved for
> OS. Hope that helps anyone. Thank you - esp. to [~vnick] who commented on
> related issue GUACAMOLE-1484, leading me to investigating the Linux route
