Using remote desktop in full-screen, what is the shortest way to move to another app? (Without using the mouse, of course. I hate mice).
I currently use one of the following:
ctrl-alt-del, alt-t (get to local machine's taskmgr), alt-tab (move to desired application), or: ctrl-alt-pause (toggle remote-desktop to a window), alt-tab.
Is there a shorter way?

Of course, now it can be tough to get out of the full screen remote desktop session, so you may also want to know that you can use the CTRL-ALT-HOME shortcut to temporarily display the blue connection bar. Alternately, you can use CTRL-ALT-BREAK to jump out of the remote session and back into your host computer.
CTRL + ALT + HOME gives keyboard focus back to host when in Remote Desktop. Then you can do WIN + CTRL + LEFT or RIGHT to switch between virtual desktops.
Full-screen Fills your screen with the remote computer. Push the F11 key on your keyboard to exit full screen.
CTRL-ALT-PAUSE, then you may use ALT-TAB.

Follow Berzerk's advice above to set Alt-Tab to always run on the local computer. Then use Alt-PageUp in the remote computer -- it works like Alt-Tab inside of an RDP session.
