Browser window is not maximized/minimized on pressing F11 when remote desktop is connected.

When we connect to a remote system and try to maximize the browser window in local machine. The F11 is not working.

this is because all the keypresses when you connect are sent to the remote device, so pressing f11 will just maximized the remote computers browser and not yours (only exceptions are browser shortcuts like CTRL+W to close a window)

to maximize your local browser you can press the full screen button at the top right hand side, which will make the window the remote screen full size of your browser page (not including your toolbars)

OR
BEFORE you click connect press F11 to maximize your browser then click connect, then once you disconnect, press F11 again

yes @si458, I got you, But we can't do the seccond one because it is not feasible with our changes, we have enabled auto connect to remote system. but we can use the icon on the top right corner to maximize the windows thats our only option.

the is no 'auto connect' feature on the 'Desktop' tab thats im aware of?
where are you seeing this? is it a setting you have enabled?
screenshots/video?

[a-imran99]

@si458, yes we have enabled it, I would not say settings, but modified the way itself.
I can share screen record.

[si458]

ah right ok no worries!
if you have modified files then yes it wont work out of the box,
unless u press F11 BEFORE you click the 'connect' button
OR
you press the full screen button to make the it the full size of your browser window (excluding the tabs, so not really FULL SCREEN)

Thanks @si458.

I have one more query regarding some other thing.

Meshcentral doesn't work the way like screen-connect, anydesk (for mac), VNC. Is this because of mesh is a browser application and others are not?
@si458

[si458]

yes, any web browser application is different compared to there counterpart full desktop application,
you could look into the MeshCentralRouter application (which is a windows exe app) and try to automate things with that maybe? never tried to automate it tho, ive only used it instead of the web app
