Possible bug(s) report + feature request
I hope it's fine to combine both a (possible) bug(s) report and a feature request in one issue:
purchased the keyboard feature, works fine - except for the mintty window, in which any key press somes up as the character sequence ^V. any idea why?
also, the app disconnects everytime when display is off, is this the desired behavior?
and would it be possible to bookmark/save a connection permanently? I mean it does save the four digit pin, but for some reason not the connection entry itself
thanks
Hi,
The keyboard feature uses the clipboard to paste text into your windows. It literally presses CTRL+V, that's why it shows ^V in terminal windows. At least in Java, I didn't found a better way for preserving special chars. This may be fixed with the planned rewrite in Python schorschii/RemotePointer-Server#4.
The disconnects are caused by Android's battery optimization. The TCP connection is automatically closed after some seconds when you switch to another app or lock your device. This can only be fixed with a complete rewrite of the ControlActivity, creating the TCP socket in a dedicated service which can run permanently in the background.
I don't see the necessity for bookmarks. If you PC is available, it is automatically detected and visible in the list so you can start the connection with one click. Or do I miss something?
alright, thanks for the explanation
as for the disconnects - would something like this be possible? the app would detect battery optimization/display state "off" and automatically switch back to the main screen.

Isn't this what the app currently does on disconnect? It shows a "Connection lost" message additionally, but then you are back on the main screen, at least in my tests.

on my device it is then stuck on the "touch pad" etc screen in fact; as a work around, I am using third party apps to forcibly keep the screen on
