Can vSphere Web Client Capture Keyboard?

When I am viewing a guest operating system -- Red Hat Linux, in my case -- shouldn't I be able to do things like Alt+Tab between applications within the "console" (browser page)?  VMware Workstation has the ability to capture the keyboard.  Is there a way to accomplish this with vSphere Web Client?  If so, is there any documentation available that would answer this question and other questions that an end-user might ask?  None of the  support materials I've seen on the VMware.com site deal with use at the guest operating system level.
