Subject: Capture keyboard input?
Hi all,
Just wondering if Gauc has the ability to capture all keyboard input? I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally closed the whole tab while typing (CTRL + W)..
Please let me know if this is a possibility, thanks!

Ah, I misunderstood and that makes sense since you mentioned closing windows... So you want to "ignore" a key or key combination? I don't think it's built-in but I would start with the JS libraries. Between guacKey.js and Keyboard.js you can probably add a bit of code to ignore keys/key combos you want ignored. Sorry if I'm still misunderstanding what you're asking for. AFAIK, there's no Guacamole UI for configuring keys or key combos you want to ignore; for that I would defer to the experts.
Regards,

Hi Ryan,
I am not looking to log keyboard events, I'd like to find a way for keyboard hot keys/combos to be 'captured' within the active session and not interrupted by the client OS (things like CTRL + ALT + DEL or CTRL + W).
Do you know if this is possible or shall I submit a feature request?

There's a key handler function in guacd (user-handler.c). You'd have to implement your own handler/function to do something like logging.

Anthony,
Yes, this is possible, but not by any sort of existing configuration -
you'd have to modify the source code of Guacamole to capture the specific
key strokes you're interested in. The Guacamole client uses this with CTRL
+ SHIFT + ALT to display the user menu on the left-hand side of the page
while you're connected.
Regards,
Nick
