CTRL+F shortcut

avatar

Hi
This is not so much a bug but ...
I just upgraded from 7.5 to 8.x and the CTRL+F shortcut is in my way.

I use all my rdp sessions in embedded/tabbed mode and autohide the tree view when connecting.

If i try to search in a logfile or just search in explorer, the filter screen pops up.

Is there any way i can disable the CTRL+F shortcut ?

yes this is very annoying!
+ is there a way to view the filter
If I want to clear the filter on my sessions, I need to ctrl+F and then backspace to clear the filter, but I can't see the filter(dialog)

If the rdp session is running, ctrl + F should not be captured outside of this session.

found the filter dialog at the bottom in another forum post! not a very intuitive place to put it

@tabbed:
easyiest way would be to redirect all shortcuts into the rdp connection, see http://forum.devolutions.net/topic2532-remote-desktop-issue.aspx

@kabee: +1 from me. even more uncomfortable is you have the navigation tab on the second screen.

@Max thanks! that seems to have solved it

also sometimes remote desktop manager seems to steal focus when ctrl+f'ing
the filter screen pops up even though i'm in my webbrowser
but i cannot reproduce it al the time

This is such an annoying bug that I have recommended that my collegues do not upgrade.

When Ctrl-F'ing in other applications on local computer, remote desktop can sometimes steal focus.

Redirecting all shortcuts is unfortunately not a good solution if you want Alt-Tab to work on local machine.

Ctrl-F should behave like Ctrl-C, V, X etc.
