Description korbel 2021-09-08 11:56:56 UTC
SUMMARY
Unlocking remote control inputs on the desktop app requires pressing left and right mouse buttons at the same time, even if there's no mouse device present. This is probably a poor choice as it's impossible to do that on many laptop touchpads (and tablet devices). I couldn't find a way to change this setting in the app.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select a paired (Android?) device
2. Choose "Remote input"
3. Click the Lock button
4. The cursor disappears and it asks to press left and right mouse buttons at the same time to unlock it, even if there's no mouse device present
5. Alt+F4 out of the application


OBSERVED RESULT
I only way I could get back the control over the cursor is by pressing Alt+F4 and exiting the application. 


EXPECTED RESULT
Unlocking should default to a key combination which is available on all devices.
It would also be great to be able to change this key combination in the plugin settings.
