If you'd like to put out an incentive for fixing this bug, you can do so at https://issuehunt.io/r/bk138/droidVNC-NG

Describe the bug
When running on ChromeOS, and all permissions and the accessibility tool enabled, remote input fails to elicit a response.

To Reproduce

  1. On a CrOS device in developer mode, install droidVNC-NG.
  2. Run the server with all permissions and the accessibility tool enabled.
  3. Connect to the server from another device and attempt mouse, keyboard, or touch input.

Expected Behavior
If it is technically feasible, it would be lovely for the VNC server to allow for full remote desktop behavior (ie. mouse and keyboard work remotely)

Logs/Backtraces
N/A

Your environment (please complete the following information):

  • droidVNC-NG version: 2.4.0
  • Android version: Android 11 (R125-15853.53.0 release-keys) on CrOS (125.0.6422.140 (Official Build) (64-bit))
  • Client-side OS and version: Android 14
  • VNC client and version: MultiVNC

Additional context
I realize that this use case is likely outside the imagined scope for this app. That said, there is a total lack of decent remote desktop solution for ChromeOS, so if this could be extended to that market, it would be greatly appreciated by a fair number of people.

Thanks for reporting! Few questions:

  • are you taken to the accessibility settings screen to enable droidVNC-NG there?
  • do hotkeys like Home etc show any response?
