Setup Mode

Depending on how you configure RGS on the local computer, the Remote Display Window may cover

the entire local computer monitor. Furthermore, the Remote Display Window may be set to borderless

—therefore, the window won’t have the title bar and borders that normally allow the window to be

moved, minimized, and resized. Such a configuration raises a number of questions, including:

●

How do you move or resize the window absent a title bar and borders?

●

If multiple Remote Display Windows are covering each other, how do you select a particular

Remote Display Window to view?

Complicating the situation is that all keyboard and mouse events in the Remote Display Window are

sent to the remote computer for processing. Therefore, the keyboard and mouse cannot be readily

used to interact with the locally-displayed Remote Display Window.

To address this situation, RGS provides Setup Mode. In Setup Mode, transmission of keyboard and

mouse events to the remote computer is suspended—instead, the keyboard and mouse can be used

to interact with the Remote Display Window on the local computer. In Setup Mode, you can perform a

number of operations, including:

●

Move a borderless Remote Display Window

●

Raise a particular Remote Display Window that is being obscured by another Remote Display

Window

NOTE: In Normal Mode, only a single Remote Display Window can be displayed on the local

computer. Displaying Multiple Remote Display Windows on the local computer requires using

Directory Mode (see

Using RGS in Directory Mode on page 83).

Setup Mode can be activated in two ways:

By clicking the

button on the Remote Display Window toolbar. This presumes, of course,

that the toolbar is visible.

2. By typing a special key sequence on the keyboard, called a

hotkey sequence

The default hotkey sequence to enter Setup Mode is:

Shift press, space press, space release

When the Receiver detects this key sequence, it does not send the key sequence to the remote

computer—instead, the Receiver activates Setup Mode on the local computer, as denoted by

dimming of the Remote Display Window (see

Figure 5-17 Dimming of the Remote Display Window in

Setup Mode on page 52).
