Standard window control items

Full screen

Expands the VNC viewer window to fill the whole screen with no visible window edges or toolbar. Press F8 to re- display this menu.

Single mouse mode (P)

Used for fast network connections where a second, “predictor” cursor is not required.

Ctrl, Alt, Send F8, Send Ctrl-Alt-Del

Sends the selected keypress(es) to the MC5-IP and host computer. This is necessary because certain keys and key combinations are trapped by the VNC viewer.
