When I use Remote Desktop Connection in full-screen mode, RSIGuard doesn count keystrokes. Whats the solution?

This seemingly simple question has a surprisingly complex answer. Be sure to read this entire answer, because solutions for various scenarios are described. Background: Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) can send special keystrokes (e.g. Alt-Tab) to the local computer or the remote computer. By default, it sends these keystrokes to the local computer if RDC is not maximized, and to the remote computer if it is maximized. This makes sense, because when RDC is maximized, the idea is that your experience should be exactly as if you were on the other computer and the local computer were not involved. To get low-level key combinations like Alt-Tab and Ctrl-Alt-Del to be sent to the remote computer, RDC intercepts keystrokes and sends them directly to the remote computer in a way that prevents local applications (including RSIGuard) from detecting the keystrokes. Solution 1: If you use your local computer as a “dumb” terminal to access another computer, it generally makes most sense to install
