Steve,
I am a keyboard person (I don't like mice).
I use WINKEY+TAB, this will rotate your titles on the task bar. when the
vncviewer is the focus, I hit the win contect key (on the right side of
keyboard next to the win and ctrl keys) or shift + F10
then hit c for close, or currsor up to CTRL+ALT+DEL.
This reminds me, VNC Developers could you please set up a master letter for
quick keyboard access to the reset of the windows vncviewer control box
popup menu. As is only the CTRL and ALT send keys don't have them. Thanks.
Steve Palocz

Subject: ctl-esc esc gone
3.3.3r7 server on NT
1.2.1.0 Viewer from Tridia on Win98
Most of the time, but not all the time, ctrl-esc esc does not get me out of
full screen mode. When this happens Ctrl-alt-del is also disabled. If I have
managed to get into a login screen on he server side then then I am dead. I
can't send ctl-alt-del to the server to log in. ctl-alt-del won't reboot the
client. ctl-esc esc doesn't bring up the menu as it should. My only way out
is the reset button.
Normally the way I terminate the session is by killing the client from the
server side. It is only a problem if my screen saver kicks into password
protected screen protection mode.
Basically everything works from a clean powerup but eventually it gets into
the ignore special character mode. It seems like rebooting the server is
what clears the problem.
Is this a known bug? Is there an alternatitive way of getting control back
on the client side without resorting to a power cycle?
I am also having problems seeing the cursor in some exotic applications.
Instead of the cursor motion I see the numeric keypad equivalent number even
though I am using the alternate cursor key set not on the numeric pad. Again
it works from a clean boot of the server but eventually goes away.
I haven't noticed whether both of these key handling problems happens at the
same time. NOTE: I switched to the tridia viewer in hopes of fixing the
problem but the behavior did not change. This is consistant with it being a
server problem, i.e. rebooting the server temporarily fixes the problem.
Regards,
Steve Morris
