=== Auto Reconnect ===
To have the xfreerdp reconnect automatically after a connection timeout use parameters as in the following example:
{{{
xfreerdp-2.0.0 /v:SERVERNAME.ee.ethz.ch /d:d /u:USERNAME +auto-reconnect /auto-reconnect-max-retries:40
}}}
Auto reconnect only works without the graphics and caching parameters shown below.

=== Change Keyboard Language ===
If your keyboard settings differ from the default, look for the id of your preferred keyboard layout with the following command:
{{{
xfreerdp-2.0.0 /kbd-list
}}}
And add the matching parameter ("Swiss German" in the example below) to your xfreerdp command:
