Menu activation keystroke

The menu activation keystroke setting specifies the keystroke that can be used to activate the Video Viewer menu. When the menu and toolbar display are hidden, pressing this key re-enables the display.

If you enable Allow users to override this setting, or if no profile is assigned to the target device, users may specify the menu activation keystroke using Video Viewer menu commands. See General commands on page 263.

Cursor profile settings

To prevent potential mouse conflicts, you may configure certain settings on each server connected to a managed appliance. For details, see the Mouse and Pointer Settings Technical Brief, which is available on the DSView 3 software DVD and on the Avocent web site.

Local cursor

The local cursor setting specifies the appearance of the local mouse cursor. There are five appearance choices. You may also choose no cursor or the default cursor.

If you enable Allow users to override this setting, or if no profile is assigned to the target device, users may specify the local cursor setting using Video Viewer menu commands. See Cursor commands on page 264.

Single cursor mode - session startup

NOTE: Single cursor mode is available only on supported Windows system clients.

The single cursor mode - session startup setting indicates whether the Video Viewer starts up in single cursor mode.

In single cursor mode, the display of the local (second) cursor in the Video Viewer window is turned off and only the target device mouse pointer will be visible. The only mouse movements that will appear are those of the target device remote cursor. Single cursor mode is used when there is no need for a local cursor.

The cursor mode status of the Video Viewer window displays in the title bar, including the keystroke that can be used to exit single cursor mode.

If you enable Allow users to override this setting, or if no profile is assigned to the target device, users may enter and exit single cursor mode using Video Viewer menu commands. See Cursor commands on page 264.

Single cursor mode - release keystroke

The single cursor mode - release keystroke setting indicates the keystroke that can be used to release the Video Viewer single cursor mode.

When using a device that captures keystrokes before they reach the client, you should avoid using those keys to restore the mouse pointer.
