Shortcut Toggle for the "View Only" option.

Post by edward »

In order to avoid disruption of remote users, we connect with the "View Only" option selected, then, when we have determined that the remote machine is not in active use, we disable "View Only" in order to take control. Obviously, this is a tedious procedure using the viewer menus.

A shortcut toggle would, I suspect, be much appreciated by many users.

That's an excellent idea :)

I must admit I've often done that, but the idea of making it easier has never reached my conscience...

Going to add a shortcut key asap.

UltraSam,

Thanks for the quick and very positive response. I look forward very much to seeing the feature implemented, and the resultant reduction in RSI !

It's done. Will update CVS tonight if possible, with the modif, among many others.

It's CTRL-ALT-F3 hotkey.

The shortcut doesn't work under Win32 1.02. Do I need a plugin or something?

not true as my knowledge for swiss keyboard.
Do I need a plugin or something?
No

send Ctrl+Alt+F3 from viewer to server is ok,
is work as waiting for watch only.
I can't type anything, I can't move remote mice (server), only local dot mice (viewer)

but locally on server some strange issue of keyboard maping (while viewer is connected as activaed Alt+Ctrl+F3 toggle view only to server)
mouse can move as normal. OK
but typing locally on keyboard of server,
only Del and third caracters of every key is only typed locally on server.
like I had locked AltGr Key (but I was not do it myself


so is only a problem of keyboard map (I use Swiss French Keyboard 105 keys aka SF)
so it can happen different symbol and could differ between keyboard country

View Only shortcut key

Post by nLinked »

I would love to see a keyboard shortcut for the View Only command. I use it frequently and right-clicking and selecting from the titlebar is slower. I also use the command line tag but I would really find a keyboard shortcut very helpful.
