Product: HP Z?
Operating System: macOS 10.15 Catalina
I am using HP ZCentral Remote Connect on a local OSX laptop mainly to use a Linux application which runs full-screen on the remote HP system. Once that program is fullscreen, is there a way to ALT-TAB to get to the other programs running on the HP linux box? For now ALT-TAB works locally on my mac, I need to do the program-switching on the remote HP box.
The "Connection" menu of HP ZCentral Remote Boost offers to send a CTRL-ALT-DEL. Is there a way to send an ALT-TAB?

I remote into a Windows 10 box daily from the ZCRB macOS client and I haven't had any issues ALT-TABbing on the remote session. Keep in mind, the macOS application-switching keyboard shortcut is Command(⌘)-Tab, so you would need to fight your muscle-memory and press Option(⌥)-Tab instead to switch applications on the remote box.
