Maxim Doucet commented on GUACAMOLE-1424:
-----------------------------------------

As [discussed on the mailing list|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r432e6bcf05ec506584bb0f29087acd43a903340b7e084ad5d07e3e0d%40%3Cuser.guacamole.apache.org%3E], based on feedback from current users (and +100 3D artists at a previous job), the fact that the guacamole menu is only accessible via ctrl-alt-shift makes guacamole a bit hard to adopt for new users. This is also true for users coming back to guacamole after several months using other remote tools (like chrome remote desktop or even novnc): they tend to forget that, in guacamole, the sidebar menu is not accessible visually by clicking on a button (they search for a "visual hint" to access the guacamole menu but there is none).

Note that they are searching for the guacamole menu/sidebar because usually they need to press ctrl-alt-del on the remote machine or they want to copy-paste text.

In any case, it would be great to have an overlay button that we would click on to display the guacamole menu. And not only for smartphone use but also for the classic "desktop browser" version of guacamole (maybe the ticket could be renamed to reflect this?).

> On smartphones, the menu is difficult to use.
> Unless you know it's there, you can't see it.
> It would be more useful to have a button or an always visible top menu bar that is iconized, as happens for RDP connections.
>  
> As it is now it is unusable
