how to access FARR on VNC server?

[cedardoc]

I use VNC (RealVNC) a lot, and it would be nice to be able to access the FARR on the remote computer, but when I try it, it opens the FARR on my viewing computer.  Is there any way around this?

thanks,
Dave

I tried autohotkey on the other computer

!f1::
send {break}

(didn't work)

oops, nevermind,

I'd forgotten to put the shortcut to FARR in the startup folder

that autohotkey shortcut works.

Actually, I appreciate this thread, because if I start using VNC again and have problems, I can remember to come here to check as a starting point.

Thanks for sharing your experience

farr now supports multiple custom hotkeys so you could configure multiple different hotkeys on your different computers.

I use UltraVnc and FARR works on ok on my computers.

In addition to multiple different hotkeys, I recommend using different skins -- and possibly specifying different locations on the screen for where the FARR window appears.

On a tangential note, I think this sort of FARR-customization is potentially useful for virtual machine set ups too (e.g. VirtualBox, VMWare, etc.).  Hurray for skins and customizations
