Screen Sharing changed?

Used to be CTRL+TAB would show the remote machine applications and screen shots taken would save on the remote machine, but now it's all happening on the local machine??? Did I accidentally hit some cluster of keys that changed this behavior? I need it back to the way it was immediately so if anyone knows where that setting is or how to reset screen sharing to what I think was the default behavior please let know asap!!!


THANKS!

Figured it out. No idea how the setting changed since this menu bar item was never active, but “Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available” solved it by checking that option then changing to the other mirroring option.


Thanks for helping.

No, I'm in Control mode, Full Screen no scaling. This all worked fine until recently. No new apps installed or updates.

The cursor used to not change before when I could take the screenshot on the remote machine, now it changes to a crosshair and takes the screenshot of the remote screen but saves it on the local desktop. I'm 100% remoting so I don't have the same software locally to do what I need and the shared clipboard is very unreliable too. What could have happened?
