SUMMARY Hi, When we are inside a windows machine (RDP client) - TAB key is not working as expected. Keymap=fr STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Connect to a Windows 11 machine (RDP client) 2. try to open an app for ex CMD 3. try to use Tab key OBSERVED RESULT keyboard is blocked until you click somewhere on the screen EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.0.2 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Key Tab works as expected with Remmina for example
Manjaro Linux, krdc 24.02 + freerdp2, tab key doesn't work in remote system window.
I've got the same issue. OS: ArchLinux KRDC fullscreen, configured application settings for krdc "Ignore global shortcuts" Force Yes, but did not help either. If I can help out in any way, let me know.
This works fine: xfreerdp -grab-keyboard /u:"myusername" /v:someip /monitors:0,1 /f /floatbar /multimon /gfx-h264:avc444 +gfx-progressive
I have been trying to resolve the same problem with the tab key not working in a RDP sessions but I am connecting to xrdp on a linux server. As an example, if I run konsole in the rdp session and type ls -al and press the tab key it does not show the matches immediately ( .inputrc has set-show-all-if-ambiguous on ). If I connect using xfreerdp instead of krdc, then the tab key works perfectly in konsole. The konsole client is NOT the problem because I can replicate the tab key broken using libreoffice calc too. Start libreoffice calc ( cursor is in cell A1 ), press tab, nothing happens if you are using krdc client. Switch to using xfreerdp instead of krdc and the tab key works correctly in the rdp session moving the cursor to B1. IMHO, it seems like the tab key is being "consumed" by something instead of the current process. I say this because when using krdc and pressing tab ( whether in konsole or libreoffice calc ) those applications no longer respond to keystrokes, however, if you click on anything else ( the desktop background, another app, the taskbar ) to switch focus and then click back on the application ( either konsole or libreoffice calc ) then keystrokes are accepted again and until you press tab key again. My platform is openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240329 but I have replicated on 20240412 too.
