Re: Guacamole Menu
Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. The legacy application uses the Ctrl + Alt + Shift key combination to perform a task. As we are only virtualizing the application, what we would like is to either disable the guacamole menu with this key combination, or change it, if possible. --- Emerson Bezerra Em qua., 21 de fev. de 2024 às 04:52, Stefan Bogdan Cimpeanu < bog...@cimpeanu.org> escreveu: > You can use the on-screen keyboard input method from the guacamole menu to > send the key combinations required. > > Regards, > Bogdan > On 21 Feb 2024 at 03:47 +0200, emerson.beze...@gmail.com, wrote: > > Hi. > > We are working on virtualizing a legacy application. > > Unfortunately, the application uses the same keys to open the Guacamole > Menu.

Re: Guacamole Menu
You can use the on-screen keyboard input method from the guacamole menu to send the key combinations required.

Guacamole Menu
Hi. We are working on virtualizing a legacy application. Unfortunately, the application uses the same keys to open the Guacamole Menu. Ctrl + Alt + Shift Is it possible to change or disable them? All the best from Brazil. --- Emerson Bezerra ---

Re: Easy access to the guacamole menu via a button
I was wondering if I should open a feature request for this on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE But then I stumbled upon https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1424 which basically want to achieve the same thing (use a button or an always on top menu bar to open the guacamole menu) but not for the same use case (the reporter is interested by guacamole use on a smartphone guacamole when I have a more general use case in mind with a button also for the "classic" desktop browser). Would it make sense if I add the context of my use case to the feature request (and maybe change the title to reflect that it's a proposal for desktop+mobile browsers) or is it better to create another ticket?

Easy access to the guacamole menu via a button
Hello, Based on feedback from clients (and +100 3D artists at a previous job), the fact that the guacamole menu is only accessible via ctrl-alt-shift makes guacamole a bit hard to adopt for new users. This is also true for users coming back to guacamole after several months using other remote tools (like chrome remote desktop or even novnc): they tend to forget that, in guacamole, the sidebar menu is not accessible visually by clicking on a button (they search for a "visual hint" to access the guacamole menu but there is none). Note that they are searching for the guacamole menu/sidebar because usually they need to press ctrl-alt-del on the remote machine or they want to copy-paste text. Is it something that has (maybe) been already considered? And what could be the options to add this feature? By modifying guacamole's code or developing an extension or maybe by integrating guacamole in another (web)app? In any case, thanks for such a great tool! -- Maxim Doucet DevOps @ Qarnot

Re: Guacamole Menu shortcut
I've located a part of client code that defines what key-combination to watch
for in guacamole/app/client/controllers/clientController.js
var SHIFT_KEYS = {0xFFE1 : true, 0xFFE2 : true},
ALT_KEYS= {0xFFE9 : true, 0xFFEA : true, 0xFE03 : true,
0xFFE7 : true, 0xFFE8 : true},
CTRL_KEYS = {0xFFE3 : true, 0xFFE4 : true},
MENU_KEYS = angular.extend({}, SHIFT_KEYS, ALT_KEYS, CTRL_KEYS);
I've modified it like this to react on CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F12:
var SHIFT_KEYS = {0xFFE1 : true, 0xFFE2 : true},
ALT_KEYS= {0xFFE9 : true, 0xFFEA : true, 0xFE03 : true,
0xFFE7 : true, 0xFFE8 : true},
CTRL_KEYS = {0xFFE3 : true, 0xFFE4 : true},
ACTION_KEY = {0xFFC9 : true},
MENU_KEYS = angular.extend({}, SHIFT_KEYS, ALT_KEYS, CTRL_KEYS,
ACTION_KEY);
I've found the 0xFFC9 keycode for F12 here:
https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/guacamole-common-js/Keyboard.js.html
it looks like it won't be that easy - it doesn't work. I restarted the whole
server afterwards, cleared browser offline files and cookies, used a clean
browser I never use: Edge, just to be sure nothing was left in some cache.
It still opened the menu on CTRL+ALT+SHIFT alone.
I need advice.

I found 2 shortcuts in M$ Word that use the CTRL+ALT+SHIFT combo. They're hardly commonly used :) but there they are. In QuarkXPress and Adobe Indesign (possibly other Adobe SW as well) there are a some of them used very often. We are a Newspaper publishing house and with this Corona madness a lot of people are working remotely and these applications are essential. I can see how nobody complained - average users tend to remember up to 10 common keystrokes and use mouse for the rest. With our people we are not talking about average office users but in this case the graphics department and they use keyboard A LOT 'cause it's much much faster and they really need to be quick near the time of closure. Hell they even exploited the mouse up to commonly used triple-, quadruple- and even quintuple-click... On second thought - the problem with Guacamole is that it reacts to the combo on last of the three keys PRESSED. This interference could be avoided if Guacamole reacted on RELEASE thus allowing a fourth key to be pressed and reacted upon the whole key combination. This way you would not need to change the combo itself. This decision and programming won't happen over night and we sort of need the solution yesterday, so if someone coud point me to a specific file where I can redefine the shortcut to, say Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12, it'd be most appreciated. -- Sent from: http://apache-guacamole-general-user-mailing-list.2363388.n4.nabble.com/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@guacamole.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@guacamole.apache.org
Re: Guacamole Menu shortcut
They use CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+SOMETHING but Guacamole immediately captures CTRL+ALT+SHIFT and toggles the menu so you have no chance to press another key for the app. Where can I redefine it? I can manage some php or java code alteration. Alternative? Well anything specific up to a character key at the end will do... blocking 1 shortcut is way better than the whole combination group. -- Sent from: http://apache-guacamole-general-user-mailing-list.2363388.n4.nabble.com/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@guacamole.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@guacamole.apache.org

Ctrl+Alt+Shift was actually chosen carefully and specifically to *avoid* interfering with other applications. With Guacamole using this shortcut for several years, and with no similar complaints about Ctrl+Alt+Shift colliding with other applications in all that time, I'm surprised to hear that there are any common applications using the same sequence. - Mike
Re: Guacamole Menu shortcut
It can be redefined. You need to change client side code. As of there is no configuration for it.

Guacamole Menu shortcut
Hello. CTRL+ALT+SHIFT shortcut that shows the Guacamole Menu sidebar is very poorly chosen. It interferes with a number of other applications. User is unable to use CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+ANYTHING shortcut and that is quite common in many applications - QuarkXPress, Adobe indesign, Corel Draw... This really undermines productivity. I searched through the forums to fing a way to disable it. A couple of users wanted that for various other reasons and no solution was provided, just their reasons were questioned. I tried to find some information about how this unlucky shortcut can be altered. No luck either. Can anyone help me redefine this shortcut to something else or disable it altogether? Otherwise... good work!

This would more likely send those modifiers through to the client, but not actually trigger it. However, if you're trying to create a button to trigger the menu, I wouldn't worry about emulating the Ctrl-Alt-Shift keypress - you should be able to create a method that opens the menu similar to the one that does it when those keys are pressed. If you look at the clientController.js file around these lines: https://github.com/apache/guacamole-client/blob/7d822df5a3b040bf61d1055fe7bffaf1996c0983/guacamole/src/main/webapp/app/client/controllers/clientController.js#L544-L547 You'll see the code block that is called when the client controller detects the Ctrl-Shift-Alt key-combo - you should be able to create a method that can be called by your button that does something similar to this. -Nick >
Re: programmatically open guacamole menu
Thanks for the help, Nick, at this time I'm still exploring guacamole.js and Keyboard.js to see how to send ctrl+shif+alt event to Guacamole. In my code I just tried to create an Guacamole.Keyboard and set modifierstate but that does not work for me.. var state =new Guacamole.Keyboard.ModifierState(); kb.modifiers.alt=true; kb.modifiers.ctrl=true; kb.modifiers.shift=true; I'm not sure where is the best place to make this additions so as a starting point, I modified the index.html in gucamole folder in tomcat webapp, created a button and assign onclick event to that button and trying to set modifierstate within the onclick event.

programmatically open guacamole menu
I'm trying to open the guacamole menu programmatically. Here is what I'm doing currently, I created a button in guacamole/index.html so user will alway seeing a button on their guacamole screen. I want the user to be able to open guacamole menu by clicking this button, instead of press ctl+alt+shift In the onclick event of that button, I'm trying to create a ctrl+shift+alt key event, and dispatch the event to browser, but still haven't got it working.. Is there another way to achieve this funcationality? Thanks, Yi
