[Bug 202853] Re: Keyboard accelerators interfere with keyboard input
Diuncan, This bug is fixed, and the quoted message describes it. Basically, Jonh changed Vinagre to default to doing the right thing, while leaving in the option for an end user to revert to the old, broken, behavior. ** Changed in: vinagre (Ubuntu) Status: New = Fix Released -- Keyboard accelerators interfere with keyboard input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It may be that the message now shown (Remote Desktop Viewer 2.30.2 in Ubuntu 10.04) is relevant, it sounds to me that it is related: quote Vinagre comes with menu accelerators and keyboard shortcuts disabled by default. The reason is to avoid the keys to be intercepted by the program, and allow them to be sent to the remote machine. You can change this behavior through the preferences dialog. For more information, check the documentation. This message will appear only once. /quote I have the problem that I simply don't understand this message... so I'm looking to post a bug about that. -- Keyboard accelerators interfere with keyboard input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 202853] Re: Keyboard accelerators interfere with keyboard input
This should not be a choosable option - if you're interacting with the remote system, you expect all the keystrokes to go through - even things like alt-tab are sent through rather than being handled on the local system, so to have ctrl-D (which is used very often on remote unix systems (particularly those of us who use screen) popping up the bookmark menu, and having no way to send through the ctrl-D, is very anomalous. CTRL-ALT doesn't work on 2.24.1, and I didn't notice (nor would have understood) what it was trying to tell me on the status bar, even if it did work. Responding to keyboard shortcuts when the mouse is outside the remote window seems the right way to go, IMHO -- Keyboard accelerators interfere with keyboard input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 202853] Re: Keyboard accelerators interfere with keyboard input
FYI: With vinagre 2.24.1 in Ubuntu Intrepid, CTRL-ALT does nothing. But an option is available via GConf (see bug 223060) to disable all keyboard shortcuts - that works for me.

[Bug 202853] Re: Keyboard accelerators interfere with keyboard input
It seems to me that the Vinagre keyboard shortcuts should only work while the mouse / focus is on the Vinagre program itself, not on the remote screen. I just lost some work by pressing Ctrl-W, closing the whole screen session. Ctrl-W is a reflex, and it would take quite a while and more lost work to learn to press Ctrl-Alt before I press it every time (if that method works). Failing that, I wish there was a way to change / eliminate all the keyboard shortcuts. I'd love to turn them off completely (except for F11, fullscreen), because I have no use for them, I only ever connect to one or two machines. Vinagre is really great, except for this frustrating issue. -- Keyboard accelerators interfere with keyboard input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This needs to be re-opened, as John has broken CTRL-ALT, so that not even that method works. -- Keyboard accelerators interfere with keyboard input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It's listed in the status bar... Press Ctrl+Alt to grab the cursor does not tell the user that it is the solution to the keyboard problem. Yes, you do capture the cursor, but it is not the cursor that is the issue, it is the keyboard, which is fixed as a side-effect. I don't have any special investment in the text, but something like: Press Ctrl+Alt to attach the cursor and keyboard exclusively to the remote (necessary to send some keystrokes). Press Cltr+Alt to resume normal cursor and keyboard sharing. might be clearer. And what is necessary to send Ctrl+Alt to the remote? VMware uses a trick with Ctrl+Alt+Space to do it. -- Keyboard accelerators interfere with keyboard input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Hi. You should grab the cursor, by pressing CTRL-ALT, in order to do things like that. ** Changed in: vinagre (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- Keyboard accelerators interfere with keyboard input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 202853] Re: Keyboard accelerators interfere with keyboard input
Thank you for the information that Vinagre requires using CTRL-ALT to lock / unlock the keyboard to the remote system in order to avoid keys being trapped. Requiring this mode of operation is a your choice, but since RealVNC, TightVNC, etc., do not require this mode of operation, you might want to document it in the program, e.g., a message somewhere visible or a menu item. -- Keyboard accelerators interfere with keyboard input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
