Hi,

I have the version 11.5.2.0 64bit running on Win 7 with 2 monitors.

I run RDP Manager on my right monitor and If I am in a spreadsheet or any application on the left monitor and use CTRL + SHIFT + Arrow then while the cursor moves in my spreadsheet, it also moves the focus between the different tabs I have open in RDP Manager.

Hi,
You can disable those shortcuts in File->Options | UI->Keyboard

Hi,

I think RDM should not react on keyboard input when it doesn't have the focus. Have the same issue here.
I can't even input an @ oder | in other applications any more, as the Alt Gr seems to be grabbed by RDM sometimes.

Could you verify which mode is set in the keyboard options? Is it default or global?

I don't see the Navigation section in the print screen but just the General section.

Sorry David, I'm confused. Not sure what exactly you are looking for. Here is a full RDM screenshot.

Hello,


In File -> Options -> User Interface -> Keyboard, there's a Navigation button.

Could you click on that button and post a print screen of that section please.

Best regards,

Any idea?

Could you change the value for When not in session?

Change to what?! Sorry for my stupidity.

Hello,


Please have a look at my print screen. You can select the when not in session value in the first column

That seems to do the trick, thanks!

Is this a change in a recent version because RDM keeps popping up on some key sequences when I'm pretty sure it's not in focus. Dual monitors as well.

@Rob Nicholson

Could you elaborate on your issue please.

Hi there,

Not 100% sure - all I know is that just now, my remote desktop connection to my home Windows server has just undocked from RDM (Free version BTW) and has switched into a normal RDP session. It's happening quite a bit so I'll eventually I'll twig what key sequence it is. It's definitely something new - have been using the free version at home for a month or so now.

Cheers, Rob.

Hello,

Yes, you would need to retrieve the sequence and then maybe do some changes in File -> Options -> User Interface -> Keyboard.

Hi,
I am having exact same when using RDM.
It seem to be picking up key strokes when it does not have focus
for example when I am using Outlook on my local computer and need to highlight a word in the editor using CTRL+SHIFT and Left arrow key
RDM suddenly switches tabs
Also opens up a selected connection in navigation bar when I use a shortcut in another application on my local computer

Kind of irritating Feature/Bug, not sure this is by design and I do not get why it would be

writing an email and suddenly another program(RDM) executes an action

Hi,
It seems to be a default shortcut in the third party we use. I have posted a question on their forum to learn how to remove it. I will let you know as soon as I get the information.

Well at least it wasn't me going mad ;-)

Hi,
It's not an issue with the third party. We have already disabled the shortcut but I've found that we have a shortcut in the application. You can remove it:
