Reconnecting host, duplicating tab, sftp
Version 2026.3.0.5 via normal deb package.
Since update to this version my keyboard shortcut for Reconnect (CTRL+R) is no longer working.
When connection to host is active this shrotcut does "(reverse-i-search)`':" on host instead of reconnect.
When host is disconnected nothing is happening.
Another thing with duplicating tab.
I have 5 tabs opened. 4 saved and 1 opened via this field on the bottom (all ssh). Duplicating saved tab works ok. Duplicating this not saved tab works but it works differently. It creates new tab, activates last active tab, then asks for username, password. New duplicated tab is not activated (as it is when saved tab is duplicated).
Clicking on SFTP button while connected to linux host via ssh does nothing.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out, and for the clear write-up of all three issues.
1. Ctrl+R (Reconnect) is sent to the remote host
This is a known problem with keyboard handling in Remote Desktop Manager Linux 2026.3.0.5. While a session is focused, it captures some application shortcuts that should go to RDM. That's why bash receives Ctrl+R and opens reverse-i-search. Until it's fixed, please use the Reconnect command from the menu or from the tab's context menu instead of the shortcut.
2. Duplicating a Quick Connect tab
We have reproduced this on our side. When you duplicate a session opened from the Quick Connect bar, the new tab stays in the background and RDM switches to the previously active tab. Being asked for a username and password is expected here, because a Quick Connect session has no saved credentials to copy. The new tab should still become active, as it does for saved entries. We are reporting this to our development team.
3. The SFTP button does nothing
We have also reproduced this and are reporting it to our development team.
We will update you as soon as we have news on these fixes, and we'll let you know which version includes them.
Best regards,
Carl Marien
