Prevent new RDP tab auto-focus?

avatar

Hello, I've searched through the options and forum posts but can't quite find an answer. Is there a way to prevent a new RDP tab from grabbing focus on open? Primarily from Quick Connect (I often need to open several sessions and would like it if the cursor remained in the Quick Connect field until I click out of it). Thanks!

Hello,

I looked into our code and it seems we have a hidden shortcut: if you hold the Shift key while opening an entry, it will open without focusing. Unfortunately this doesn`t work with keyboard shortcuts (for example, pressing Enter in the quick connect bar to open the entry), so there's room for improvement (and also, it's really not obvious that holding Shift changes the behavior!).

I have opened a ticket so we can make this improvement. We will get back to you in this thread once we have an update on the matter.

Regards,

Hello,

We've decided to rework this feature a bit, it shall now work through a shortcut (which can be found in Files - Options - User Interface - Keyboard). Once the shortcut is set, it will enable opening entries without them gaining the focus. This will include opening entries with the Quick Connect bar as long as the shortcut is used. This should be available for 2022.3 version.
