Global keyboard shortcut for "Quick Connect"

This is not possible but it could be added. You want a dialog to enter an host?

I'd be happy if I could enter a keyboard shortcut to get the exact same dialog that appears if I right-click the tray icon and click "Quick Connect". That would be perfect.

Thank you. I will add this as soon as we add our Shortcut customization framework.

Thank you :)

Do you have a shortcut in mind?

Ideally, it could be configurable, but maybe something like CTRL+ALT+Q, or something like that.

Is there a hot-key WITHIN the program to toggle the Quick-Connect text field? For the time being, I might be able to throw together a script to achieve the functionality I'm looking for.

Hi,
I have added the menu and the shortcut in the application. It's not a global shortcut yet unfortunately.

I see the Control-Alt-Shift-Q option in the View menu, however if I already have an established connection open it seems this key combo is relayed into the open connection instead of being processed by RDM. Is this normal, or is there an option somewhere to force RDM to process that key stroke an open the Quick Connect dialog box?

This is true even if I use the mouse to manually select the RDM title bar, then issue the control-alt-shift-Q keys. All without ever clicking into the open RDC section of the screen.

Is the "Grab keyboard input" feature activated?

Its the magnet at the lower right of the application

I've tried this with both the magnet icon showing as red and as blue/gray.

At the moment I'm at home, and have connected to my work computer via RDC (but not in RDM), so perhaps this additional layer is causing the confusion.

If I launch RDM at home this works as expected even with the On Screen Keyboard, so I'm not to sure what's going on.

At home I'm running RDM 8.0.10.0. At work I'm running 8.0.12

Perhaps there is a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do. I'm using AutoHotKey to automate many of the tedious admin tasks and I thought wouldn't it be neat if I could just highlight a chunk of text in an email or my note's , and activate a macro which would parse out a list of target servers from random text that I'd like to RDC to, then use a foreach loop in AutoHotKey to tell RDM to open a connection to each of these.

Hi,
Sometime the RDP session steal all the keystroke if the focus is not in RDM directly (tree or search box). This is the most complex task that we have. We plan to do a shortcut manager soon that should simplify the management and the customization.

Just checking in. Is there an API that I can call from outside RDM that would just trigger RDM to open a new connection?

Hi,
we have Powershell, the command line or the protocol handler.

I think that the protocol handler is the easiest solution:
