Miscellaneous Remote Console Settings

Start in Monitor Mode

Sets the initial value for the monitor mode. By default the monitor mode is off. In case you switch it on, the Remote Console window will be started in a read only mode.

Start in Exclusive Access Mode

Enables the exclusive access mode immediately at Remote Console startup. This forces the Remote Consoles of all other users to close. No one can open the Remote Console at the same time again until this user disables the exclusive access or logs off.

Mouse hotkey

Allows to specify a hotkey combination which starts either the mouse synchronization process if pressed in the Remote Console, or is used to leave the single mouse mode.

Remote Console Button Keys

Button Keys allow simulating keystrokes on the remote system that cannot be generated locally. The reason for this might be a missing key or the fact, that the local operating system of the Remote Console is unconditionally catching this keystroke already. Typical examples are “Control+Alt+Delete” on Windows and DOS, what is always caught, or

“Control+Backspace ” on Linux for terminating the X-Server. The syntax to define a new Button Key is as follows:

[confirm] <keycode>[+-[*]<keycode>]*

“confirm” requests confirmation by a dialog box before the key strokes will be sent to the remote host.

“keycode” is the key to be sent. Multiple key codes can be concatenated with a plus, or a minus sign. The plus sign builds key combinations, all keys will be pressed until a minus sign or the end of the combination is encountered. In this case all pressed keys will be released in reversed sequence. So the minus sign builds single, separate keypresses and -releases. The star inserts a pause with duration of 100 milliseconds.
