fast access (hotkey) to grab_keyboard() #2
Comments
Definitely interesting. Someone just needs to do the cleanup and integration. :) Should probably alse be similar to |
The way that virt-manager and gnome-boxes deals with this issue is pretty good: the mouse is free to move in and out of the window, but when the mouse cursor is inside the window the keyboard is grabbed. Not sure of the details. |
Just to help someone who urgently need this feature and as we are now on gitub, I made a fork |
haven't had such an issue (or did not notice it) Any ETA on upstreaming? |
What is the current state of this? The patch above fails to apply to tigervnc 1.7.1. |
No one seems to be working on this right now. But it is on my (rather long) todo list. I was thinking of doing something like VMware and just use modifiers. |
Hi, as I'm "dependent" (I don't understand why not everyone needs this :-) ) on such a feature, I do the patching from time to time by hand, which is not nice and not professional, as I don't know details about the code and just hack the feature in I need... |

New patch for making 1.8.0 build (untested):

The patch doesn't work as given above. |
Ah thanks |
I am also watching this enhancement, I am running the tiger vnc client on a second monitor which is occupying the whole screen, however I am not able to manually activate the "Grab Keyboard" as this is something which only works in "Full Screen" mode, irrespective the viewer actually occupying the whole screen. |
Any reason you are not using full screen mode for that single monitor? It should work the way you want in that case. |
Using "Full Screen" mode with F8 Menu obstructs mouse inputs to first monitor. |
Ah. That issue has been fixed, but I guess it was after the latest release. |
Or you just add this small feature which helps sooo much :-) |
Having a feature to traverse between windows in VNC session in windowed mode will be very helpful. |
5 years later I am feeling a bit tired of patching every version (it does not apply, again). |
It's so stupid that this has been delayed so long when there are pull requests to fix it. Shame on the devs! |
Here the latest patch for v1.9.80 Feels even more a hack than before, but works like a charm... Would be nice to have this in the main branch... I'm still puzzled, that this feature is not wanted by many others. |
Wow, that patch is short! Thanks, I was getting tired of tigervnc upgrades failing for 6 months now. |
Created docker file, that builds |

Dear Tigervnc-developers,
I would like to know if it would be possible to integrate the functionality
provided by the attached patch (I know it is a hack, so it would need to be
done correctly) to a future stock tigervnc-release.
It assigns the grab_keyboard() function directly on the key "CONTROL_R" or
"META_L" for fast access (as also implemented in remmina).
This function is so much needed for me and my colleagues that I can not
imagine that it is not useful for others.
If you use a window manager like awesome then you need it....
Thanks a lot,
Michael
As I don't know how to attach a file to the comment, I paste the patch as an example I did here:
