Autotype / virtual keypress not working

ramon-flashtec commented 9 months ago

Bug Description

When using typing functions like Auto-type in KeePass or AutoKey, the virtual keypresses are not working. I tried KeePass XC (Linux & Windows) and also Autokey on Linux with every keyboard mode of RustDesk and both directions.

How to Reproduce

Install KeePass, create a Password and use Autotyping Feature into the RustDesk Window.

Expected Behavior

RustDesk should accept the virtual keypresses.

I figured out a workaround for AutoKey (linux only) to type the clipboard (e.g. a password for login-mask)..

install xdotool package

Setup the following script in AutoKey and set a keyboard hotkey (e.g. F12):

def type_slow(text):
  command = "xdotool type --delay 300 '" + text + "'"
  system.exec_command(command, getOutput=False)

text = clipboard.get_clipboard()
time.sleep(0.2)

type_slow(text)

clipboard.fill_clipboard("")

copy your password switch to RustDesk and press your hotkey (F12)

maybe that helps someone :o)
