I've installed Anydesk on both my laptop and remote PC. Both have ubuntu 18.04. While everything else works fine, Anydesk doesn't transmit ctrl and super keys. So, if I press super, it opens all programs on my laptop and not on the remote desktop. Similarly, if I press ctrl+a, it only transmits the character a. This is causing a lot of problems for me since I'm used to keyboard shortcuts and a lot of them depend on ctrl.

Edit 1:
If I connect from another windows laptop to Ubuntu remote, ctrl+a works. So, it must be some problem with my local Anydesk.

I figured out the problem and fixed it. The problem is not with Anydesk but with Ubuntu. I have installed Gnome tweaks and enabled "show mouse pointer position on pressing ctrl" So, when I press ctrl, instead of sending it to the remote desktop, ubuntu consumes the key by itself and only the other key goes to remote desktop. So, when I press ctrl+a, only a is forwarded to remote desktop. Somehow TeamViewer handles this i.e. send ctrl key also to remote desktop.

Note: I figured this by trying chrome remote desktop and the problem repeated with that as well. Then I figured out that the problem is with Ubuntu and not Anydesk
