Remmina is a wonderful piece of software and I use it a lot on my work. The only problem is key mapping. I am really used to working in DWM window manager, which utilizes windows key to switch panes. So, when I switch from a pane where remmina is opened, the keypress is also sent to a RDP window, which opens unnecessary windows or even logs me off. Naturally, this is very annoying.

Remmina uses freeRDP as an RDP plugin but I can't find a way to remap keys in it - there's no /usr/share/freerdp directory, which should contain all the configs so I presume remmina pushes its own configs from somewhere.

Is there any workaround for this?

I've just implemented this feature in Remmina, therefore any version prior 1.4.21, that as of Today is still not yet released, cannot remap scancodes.

In the meanwhile the only temporary solution is to use xfreerdp if you have at least the version 2.3.0

I didn't manage to find any workaround, unfortunately. Solved the issue with simply disabling the winkey as described here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/216893

I guess there should be some way to automatize the process (you can't copy into REG_BINARY fields in the regedit and counting and typing in all the zeroes was not an easy process) but I never bothered to find it out.
