Circle Dock / Re: Circle Dock in remote desktop with middle mouse button
« on: February 02, 2010, 12:16 PM »
As Windows admin I'm using very often RDP-Sessions, VMware-Sessions and other connections to remote computers. In every case the behavior of the target machine should be similar to my normal machine.
This works great with tools like DM2 and most of all StrokeIt, but not (so good) with CircleDock.
They can exclude programs. So - excluding mstsc.exe means, no action in StrokeIt if the active window is a RDP-Session. Result is, no reaction on the normale machine to the mouse gesture but the mouse key and movement is send to remote computer. The software on the remote computer - in that case again StrokeIt - is triggered an reacts to the mouse gesture. This works even over a small chain of different remote sessions (slow, but it works ...).
My workaround for CircleDock is starting CircleDock with a key-combination instead of middle mouse click. But I defined a very simple mouse gesture in StrokeIt and this gesture is translated into the key-combination for CircleDock - on the correct computer. Better would be an exclude of programs directly in CircleDock.
My workaround solves also another problem with CircleDock. I configured StrokeIt to take mouse gestures drawn with the middle mouse button for not intercepting the typical mouse buttons. Every time I want to draw a mouse gesture CircleDock is shown. It would be very nice to have a little more specialized behavior for opening CircleDock. Maybe like wheel down, around a second with no or minimal movement and then wheel up as trigger instead of simple wheel down.
Maybe it is possible to implement this into CircleDock.
Up to now I'm not very deep into CircleDock - i just found the version 1.0. The problems with the version from 2008 stopped me from using it for a long time. But now there is hope for a very interesting tool. So if you are looking for beta testers ... more than 20 years of intensive computer experience as computer engineer and work as beta tester for the SpeedCommander should be not that worth.
