Figure 8-1 Remote Display Window selection dialog
To display the selection dialog, press the Tab key while in Setup Mode—again, Setup Mode must
have been previously activated by the hotkey sequence. The selection dialog is displayed as long as
the initial Setup Mode hotkey (normally the Shift key) remains pressed. The currently-selected
Remote Display Window is highlighted with a red border.
The Remote Display Window selection dialog is only displayed in Directory Mode—this is the mode
that supports multiple Remote Display Windows. While the Remote Display Window selection dialog
is active, navigate between windows (thumbnails) by:
●
Pressing Tab to select the next window.
●
Clicking on the number displayed beneath the thumbnail.
●
Clicking directly on a thumbnail.
●
Double-clicking the mouse on a thumbnail (this will also immediately close the selection dialog).
When the initial Setup Mode hotkey is released, the selected Remote Display Window is brought
to the forefront and displayed.
Game Mode (non-touch displays only)
Game Mode is a feature accessed via an RGS Receiver property (see RGS Receiver properties
on page 78 for more information).
When operating in normal cursor mode, RGS synchronizes the cursor movements of a remote
computer to a controlling local computer by placing the remote computer’s cursor at the same
absolute coordinates as the local computer’s cursor. Some applications rely on a relative movement
of the cursor to interact with a 3D environment. These applications may programmatically readjust the
cursor position after a movement is detected. In the default mode of operation where RGS is moving
the cursor to an absolute position, these applications may have erratic behavior or cause a loss of
cursor control. Game Mode is an attempt to provide better cursor control for such applications.
Game Mode is a toggle on the RGS Receiver to supply the remote computer with relative cursor
movements. This will enable applications that rely on relative movements to be controlled with RGS.
Game Mode is enabled and disabled by pressing the hot key followed by the G key. By default, the
key sequence is Shift press, Space press, Space release, G.
When Game Mode is enabled, the cursor will be locked to the local computer’s Remote Display
Window. The Remote Display Window toolbar can be enabled, but interacting with the Remote
Display Window toolbar is not possible when Game Mode is enabled. The local computer is
dependent on the remote computer for updating the cursor position. Network connections with a high
latency may not be suitable for use with Game Mode. The Remote Display Window can be
