“Mouse Jiggler” for RDP sessions
2 votes
Request
Please add the RDP “Mouse Jiggler” option in RDM Linux, equivalent to what exists in RDM Windows.
Current behavior
On Linux, the option is not visible/available in the RDP settings (expected under Experience).
Expected behavior
A user-configurable checkbox/option to enable Mouse Jiggler for RDP sessions on Linux, matching Windows behavior.
Why it matters / impact
Without it, long-running RDP tasks are interrupted when idle timeouts trigger lock/disconnect.

Having this feature would allow me to uninstall Remmina as I have one use case where this is needed, hope to see it soon!

Good news! We have a surprise and this is now available in the latest release of RDM Linux in your RDP settings under the Experience tab.
Let us know what you think!
Cheers,

Hi, sorry for such a delay in my reply!
I've tried it with the default setting which I think is 60 seconds and my screen was still timing out/going in active. I tried changing it to 15 seconds and still had the timeout issues. (Linux Mint 22.3, RDM 2026.1.0.8 64-bit.)
Perhaps we could introduce a secondary feature, which instead of jiggling the mouse, it sends a keystroke? e.g. "Ctrl" every X seconds....
