Auto typing macro after opening no longer working
I had successfully configured RDM to use {TAB}{ENTER} to hit the 'OK" button on the legal notice when logging into servers. That is no longer working. Is there a new suggested method for accomplishing this? I make sure I keep the focus on the server I'm logging into, FYI.

Hello
This caught my attention because we had a very similar issue a few years ago. I'm not aware of a recent change on our side that could've changed something here, but I strongly suspect it's related to the focus in RDM.
One thing that might solve it quickly: please experiment with enabling this setting, possibly combined with just sending {ENTER} in your macro. I think that the {TAB} first is trying to shift focus since we really only need to hit "Enter" at this screen.
Please let me know if it changes something for you
Thanks and kind regards,

Hello
Just to update: on my side I enabled that setting and configured the macro as just {ENTER} and it worked well for me. Let me know if it helps.

That "grab connect" option did the trick! Thank you!
Hello
Excellent news, I'm glad that worked for you. I suspect there was a subtle change in RDM that affected how focus was assigned when opening the session or running the macro, and it broke your workflow. Let us know if you have any other questions or comments.
