Context menu not opening and win key not working on external keyboard
Context menu not opening and win key not working on external keyboard
Hi, I have a problem with not being able to open context menus with a touchpad integrated into tablet keyboard - OnePlus Pad 3 QWERTY Smart Keyboard. I think the right mouse button isn't emitted by keyboard firmware, only left mouse button. I would like to have a way to make long press of a touchpad be treated as right click, just like with display touch. Additionally the tablet's keyboard win key is not caught nor the ctrl+shift+esc combo, but just esc key is caught as exit of android app. On external usb keyboard ctrl+shift+esc works, but win+x or just win key does not, and triggers gemini.
I believe that keyboard shortcuts are android limitations, while tablet's keyboard has junk firmware and nothing can be done about those, but I would really like to have an option to support the touchpad with long press in RDM setting, to enable opening context menus.

A new setting has been added to enable right click behavior via long press when using a physical mouse or touchpad in RDP, ARD, or VNC sessions. This setting is called “Enable physical mouse long press for right click” and can be found under General Application Settings > Sessions > Unified Remote Connection Settings. It is disabled by default.
This new option is scheduled to be included in version 2026.1, which is planned for release in March.
Regarding the Windows key not working, the issue is that the system now takes priority. It works on Samsung phones, but not on Pixel phones running Android 16. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about this.

Hello,
Thank you for reporting these issues.
We will review the behavior of the keyboard shortcuts. Some shortcuts can be controlled by us, while others are handled by the operating system, which takes priority and cannot always be intercepted.
Regarding long press, we currently support it when using touch input, but not when using a physical mouse. It may be possible to add a setting for this. We will create a feature request accordingly; however, we cannot provide a timeline for implementation at this time.

I've just updated to 2026.1.0.25 and the long press on touchpad or LMB for right click works, thanks!
