Cannot use keyboard shortcut to open multiple RDP entries

Cannot use keyboard shortcut to open multiple RDP entries

MacOS Big Sur — version 11.4
RDM Free for Mac — version 2021.2.9.0


I've been using RDM Free for Mac for a few years now. Up until several months to a year ago, I was always able to highlight 2 or more entries and then press Shift + Return, which allowed me open all the entries at once. But at some point, that ability for me to be able to open multiple entries at once via a keyboard shortcut stopped working, even though the Open Selection right click item still shows the Return symbol.

What can be done to resolve this?

Hello,

I just moved your thread into the RDM Mac Support section.

Hi Blake,

Why Shift + Return? A simple Return on a multi selection seems to launch all the selected entries properly for me (as of the latest version, 2021.2.9.0).

A Return doesn't do anything either.

Hi Blake,

Do you use the overlapping navigation (Preferences -> User Interface -> User Interface -> General -> "Use overlapping navigation")?

No, I don't. What does that setting do?

It makes the entry tree hide itself automatically when it loses focus. While testing, I noticed that the Enter shortcut did not work with the option enabled. But if you do not have it enabled, this is most definitely not your issue.

In Preferences -> User Interface -> Shortcuts, what shortcut is set to the Open Session item? See:Best regards,
