Describe the issue

I can't switch spaces (usually done by Ctrl+Left/Right Arrow Key) while connected to Windows host. Except for Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Q, it seems that ALL keyboard shortcuts are passed to the host system.
However, when using my Macbook without a secondary monitor, I can swipe with three fingers on the touchpad to switch to another virtual desktop. Is there a way to simulate this behavior using only keyboard/mouse, for the cases I'm using a dock and my laptop lid is closed?

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally, there would be another shortcut Moonlight listens for. If there is already a way to switch spaces without ending the stream, I'm all ears.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There could be third-party software that can do this, but I'm unaware of any. It seems that all keystrokes are passed to the host system.

+1 on this. I'd love to be able to pass through specific key sequences to the host. There is a workaround for this case - CTRL+Shift+Alt+Z moves the mouse back to the host, and then Ctrl+Left/Right works as expected.

Unfortunately we're limited by macOS when it comes to selective passthrough. SDL does the keyboard grab using a private API which seems to only be able to set hotkey behavior globally. Other platforms like Wayland also treat global system hotkeys as an all-or-nothing thing.

We used to be able to swipe left or right on the touchpad, and switch spaces. Now it no longer works.
Changing from Full-screen to windowed full-screen doesn't help.
Is there anything that can be done to restore this behaviour ?
Thanks

Yes, exclude the notch
