Binary package hint: vinagre
While connecting to any remote desktop (Windows, Linux, etc.), I'm
having the problem that Vinagre grabs way too many key shortcuts
(Cntrl+N, Cntrl+W, Cntrl+O, Cntrl+Q, Cntrl+D, F1, and F9), therefore it
is not possible to work on the remote desktop without major surprises.
For example, Control+N (to create a new folder on the desktop, or move
ahead one line on Emacs, or create a new document in OpenOffice, or pull
up the next entry on the Bash command line) is not passed to the remote
host, but instead is grabbed by vinagre to open a new connection.
Similarly, Control+O (used by most programs to open a file) is also
trapped by Vinagre to open an existing connection file. F1-F12 are used
in NetBeans and Eclipse IDEs to compile, debug, and execute the code.
Is it possible to disable all these keyboard shortcuts in Vinagre so
that they are passed directly to the remote host? Otherwise, I've been
forced to go to other VNC clients to be able to work without any issues.
This is on Ubuntu 8.10, Vinagre 2.24.1.
