Re: awesome session via VNC and mod4 key

[Hartmut Bischoff]

I'm using awesome as window-manager of a remote-thin-client which is
accessed via teamviewer.
As I understand, they use the vnc-protocol, too.

I use

modkey =  Mod1

on the remote.computer and  »modkey. »Mod4« here in the office.
So far, anything works as expected.

G'Day Alexey,
 
I also use VNC - possibly not in the same way but I hope my comment helps...
 
Using Awesome, Remmina as my RDP client and a number of VirtualBox VMs 
running headless.
 
Remmina is setup to show the taskbar icon which gives a nice shortcut menu to 
my VMs [I have a tweak in my LUA to kill Remina on the window activation - 
just kills the window but leaves the icon ;-) ]
 
When an RDP session starts they are in fullscreen and usually do not capture 
the mod-4 + # combination, allowing me to open several sessions on different 
tabs and easily flick between them. However (and this is the bit that I expect 
may help you), sometimes the mod-4 + # combination does not seem to work - 
For me, Right-Control + F tells Remmina to show it's menu which has a handy 
keyboard capture icon. Clearing the capture icon has always resolved the key 
capturing for me and then I return to full-screen
 
 

Regards
 
Dave

 Subject: awesome session via VNC and mod4 key
 
 Hello,
 
 I'm using awesome via VNC recently. I've a problem with mod4 binding
 while I'm using vncviewer under other awesome session - I don't know
 how I can bypass mod4 key to the vncviewer client (mod4 is handled by
 awesome session where vncviewer is running). Does somebody know how I
 can do that?
 
 Thanks
