Bug ID: 503115
Summary: Have to click within the remote view before keyboard
will work (focus issue)
Classification: Applications
Product: krdc
Version: 25.04.0
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: VNC
Assignee: uwol...@kde.org
Reporter: john....@pelago.org.uk
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
This may be more of a wishlist feature request than a bug report, but I would
very much like it if I could type into a remote session as soon as the session
is opened. At the moment, currently I have to click once in the session window
before I can type.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KRDC
2. Start a VNC session to a remote host
3. Press a key on the keyboard
OBSERVED RESULT
The key press isn't recognised by the remote host.
EXPECTED RESULT
The key press is recognised by the remote host. (If you click the mouse within
the remote host, keypresses are then recognised).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250418
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0
Kernel Version: 6.14.2-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note that I'm aware of the Grab Keys functionality, and indeed if I turn that
on that sort of fixes the above. However, Grab Keys also means that the remote
host grabs Alt+Tab and so on, which I do not want. I wish the remote to only
respond to "normal" keys as soon as it is opened, i.e. the same as happens if
you click within the remote window. I guess that means I want the remote host
to have focus as soon as it is opened, but not to "Grab Keys".
