Is it possible to load a profile (Local Data Source) so I can connect directly (it pops a window out the way I have it configured), without having to have the main Remote Deskop Manager Window open?

I'm guessing no but I thought i'd ask.

2022.1.27.0 64-bit

yes it is undocked, primary desktop, current monitor

I'm not sure I want to turn off the apply window key combinations as when I am actually using RDM (I mean when I am inside the RDM window on purpose), I want to be able to use windows key combinations, it is essential really

i figured out a workaround for the grabby focus problem... if you have another window of another program on the desktop and click that to make it have focus before moving to another virtual desktop, when you move back RDM doesn't grab focus.. but if you had clicked the desktop to remove focus instead, then when you move back it will grab focus.

by moving to virtual desktops I mean using the win ctrl left right arrow keys .. i have not tested via the task view to see if it applies there as well

also, unrelated question - is there any way to make a popped out RDP session save its position so that the next time it is opened, it will open in the same spot?

thanks, i tried that just now.. even closed the session and reopened. magnet is off but this behaviour still occurs.

I outfocus RDP/RDM... i.e. i click on the desktop.. press start to check that my laptop's start menu opens.. slide away to another desktop (win ctrl right), slide back (win ctrl left) , press start and the start menu in the RDP session of RDM pops up .. not the laptop's start menu, which is the desired behaviour.

I use RDM on Win11, I'm guessing this behaviour would be the same on Win10.

I have one RDP connection open in a pop out Window. I am on Desktop 5.

Whenver I go to another desktop and come back to Desktop 5, the RDM Remote Desktop Window will grab the focus immediately.

e.g. if I am on desktop 5, and focus is outside of RDM... I press start and windows start menu on my laptop opens.

if I go to another desktop and switch back (e.g. win+ctrl+right, then win ctrl left) and press start.. now the start menu in the VPS will pop up. i.e. RDM's RDP window has grabbed focus.

How do I disable the grabby focus behaviour?

is there a way to get the toolbar back afterwards?

I use undocked mode and it's great except there's this floating toolbar that takes up a lot of screen space. How can I hide it?

nothing like a key to redraw or anything like that? or a key to do a smart reconnect?

my understanding from using before smart reconnect is that is just for adjusting resolution "smartly"

is there a way to force a redraw (I use windows, rdp) ?

The reason is that sometimes some windows aren't drawn and when i reconnect they are then drawn. So if I could just force a refresh that would be more convenient than reconnecting.

also it closes 2 tabs (2 but not all of my tabbed sessions both give this error and close - it has happened only starting today but already twice

is there a way to switch to scrollbar mode for an RDP session from smart sizing and vice versa? without having to edit the properties

just to be clear since i didn't write it very well.

I mean dragging and dropping files into the RDP remote computer work area

not dragging tabs around

is there a way to enable drag and drop for rdp tabs?

thanks but I can't find the one I need the most in there - alt-esc... do you know how to send it to the window? Note: I don't want to capture focus, that's one of the reasons why I like RDM so much.

if there's nothing built it, is there a way to assign key mappings with RDM?

where can I find a list of keys to use in RDP sesions like start key or alt-esc and other such system keys.

I know about ctrl alt end but that's the only one i know

hello, maybe when i have some time later

are you saying it is not normal for the cursor to disappear (some but not all of the time, but when it does happen it is most of the time) when the mouse is moved over the remote desktop area ?

how can I disable the click to expand the ribbon when you click the top bar? I need to click somewhere safe to get the cursor visible again so I'm clicking the bar and sometimes i click the top part and it expands the ribbon and then i need to click the autohide button to set it to autohide.I get worried that if i leave the ribbon visible too long it will resize the desktop and that means move my windows around so i'd need to rearrange them again every time. So if I can just disable this behaviour that expands the ribbon that would be great.

how do you make it so that the mouse cursor is visble when you mouse over the remote desktop area? I have to click the app first to see the cursor

windows 10 is my PC

windows server 2016 is the RDP connection in the tab
