Support Left/Right Control Key Mapping for Remote Connection Emulator for Improved Adoption of Migrating User from Host Connection Emulator

I have created Remote Connection Emulator configurations and the connection is working, however, there is a challenge I am facing to remap the enter key to be the CTRL key. I can see in preferences Remote Connection Emulator is mentioned but the key binding to the CTRL seems to expect CTRL + instead of just the CTRL key itself. This was something that I had done previously using Preferences for the Host Connection Emulator, but I am not able to provide the same mapping for the new Remote Connection Emulator. From an implementation perspective, it could be implemented with the same approach as with a Preferences General > Keys sub-option. I asked but did not get a reply as to whether there is some kind of architecture limitation that prevented this feature from being included in the initial design, so I assume this is something that can be done fairly easily. Please advise, thanks

    This really needs to be a high priority, and should be treated as a bug/fix since the prior emulator had this, and dropping the feature will stop us from deploying this release to our MAC users.
