Get macros to work with an RDP session

Just getting my new 80HE set up and I use macros all the time for my job in IT. I especially use them for all of my long passwords and key codes. Wootomation is easy to set up and understand and works great locally but it isn't passing the keystrokes on through my RDP sessions. I wasn't expecting this as I used this all of the time on my old Logitech Pro with its baked in macro functions. Any thoughts?

Just checking in to see if anyone has got this to work yet. My only workaround was to install Wootomation on the jumpbox as well but it would be nice if it passed the keystrokes through the RDP session.

In windows RDP under "Local Resources" set "Apply Windows key combinations" to "On this computer".

But be careful, as you lose access to keyboard commands such as ALT-TAB, everything would be executed on the local machine.

Alternatively, you can minimize the window and press the macro key.

It's a pity that wooting does not accept local onboard macros... not because the keyboard can't, since it has plenty of memory, but the wooting team sees the macros as cheats, somewhat contradictory when we have Rappy snappy and SOCD..
