You can rename your AnyDesk address (e.g. 123 456 789) to an available alias in the @AD domain (example. The namespace option allows you to specify an individual namespace available only to you, e.g. To invoke a command, hold the keys ctrl+alt+shift at the same time and then press one of the following keys: For example, to log on to a remote machine you can simply press ctrl+alt+shift+del.

AnyDesk provides the option to run as administrator (elevated), which enables the user to control applications that are limited to administrators. AnyDesk automatically runs as administrator when installed. A session to such remote client cannot request elevation since it's already granted and displays this option as disabled in the actions menu. By default, the portable (not installed) version has only standard user rights. A process that requires administrator privileges won't be accessible. (e.g. Windows Task Manager)

Actions Menu

Use Request elevation from the actions menu during session to request elevation for a portable AnyDesk on the remote client in order to control applications running as administrator. This request requires the confirmation of a UAC dialogue. When confirmed, AnyDesk is elevated on the remote client and thus able to control applications running as administrator. In case the credentials have been submitted to the remote client as shown in the image to the right, the remote client has to confirm this operation. Thus, submitting credentials to the remote side cannot be done unattended.

Translating Keyboard Inputs

For international users connecting from one language zone to another, AnyDesk has a feature for translating the keyboard layout.For example a user in Poland using a polish keyboard layout can connect to a machine in France which is using a french keyboard layout and work regardless of the different keyboard layouts.In most cases there is no need for user interaction with the keyboard setting. Only in some cases it is necessary to manually choose the keyboard translation mode.

Automatic

This setting enables 1:1 mode if the keyboard layouts on both machines partaking in the session are the same and enables translation mode if the keyboard layouts differ. The setting is automatically detecting keyboard layout changes of the operating system. If you encounter problems with certain programs, please try to select a keyboard mode manually.

1:1 mode

In 1:1 mode, all keys are mapped from the local to the remote keyboard based on their position. For example, the key q on a english keyboard (qwerty) will insert the character a if connected to a machine with a french keyboard layout (azerty). This mode is not feasible for office work but it can be useful when playing games which depend on the exact location of a key.

Auto-Translate Mode

Anydesk Complete Control

When auto-translate mode is active, all keys will be transmitted to the remote side as if the local keyboard layout would be active on the remote side. This mode might cause problems with certain programs (for example video games), because these programs process the exact key position (scancode).

Keyboard Shortcuts

Note:

Keyboard shortcuts (e.g. copy/paste) have to be used with the keys that are valid on the remote device's operating system.For example copy on MacOS with CMD+C, but paste on Windows with CTRL+V.

AnyDesk can be controlled using several key combinations.

Hotkeys (Windows-only)

To invoke a command, hold the keys ctrl+alt+shift at the same time and then press one of the following keys:

For example, to log on to a remote machine you can simply press ctrl+alt+shift+del.
