Hi,

I think this could be solved using autograb. Unfortunately the default config seems not to enable it. Try the following.

• on the server side create ~/.x2go/config/keystrokes.cfg with this content: <!DOCTYPE NXKeystroke> <keystrokes> <keystroke action="close_session" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="t" /> <keystroke action="switch_all_screens" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="f" /> <keystroke action="fullscreen" Control="1" Shift="1" AltMeta="1" key="f" /> <keystroke action="minimize" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="m" /> <keystroke action="defer" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="e" /> <keystroke action="force_synchronization" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="j" /> <keystroke action="resize" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="r" /> <keystroke action="viewport_move_left" Control="1" Shift="1" AltMeta="1" key="Left" /> <keystroke action="viewport_move_left" Control="1" Shift="1" AltMeta="1" key="KP_Left" /> <keystroke action="viewport_move_up" Control="1" Shift="1" AltMeta="1" key="Up" /> <keystroke action="viewport_move_up" Control="1" Shift="1" AltMeta="1" key="KP_Up" /> <keystroke action="viewport_move_right" Control="1" Shift="1" AltMeta="1" key="Right" /> <keystroke action="viewport_move_right" Control="1" Shift="1" AltMeta="1" key="KP_Right" /> <keystroke action="viewport_move_down" Control="1" Shift="1" AltMeta="1" key="Down" /> <keystroke action="viewport_move_down" Control="1" Shift="1" AltMeta="1" key="KP_Down" /> <keystroke action="viewport_scroll_left" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="Left" /> <keystroke action="viewport_scroll_left" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="KP_Left" /> <keystroke action="viewport_scroll_up" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="Up" /> <keystroke action="viewport_scroll_up" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="KP_Up" /> <keystroke action="viewport_scroll_right" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="Right" /> <keystroke action="viewport_scroll_right" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="KP_Right" /> <keystroke action="viewport_scroll_down" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="Down" /> <keystroke action="viewport_scroll_down" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="KP_Down" /> <keystroke action="reread_keystrokes" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="k" /> <keystroke action="autograb" Control="1" AltMeta="1" key="g" /> <keystroke action="dump_clipboard" Control="1" Shift="1" AltMeta="1" key="c" /> </keystrokes>
• start a NEW session or disconnnect/reconnect a running session
• press ctrl-alt-g in the session to activate autograb

You can also activate autograb by default by adding one of these two to /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options: X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" -autograb"

or

X2GO_NXOPTIONS="autograb=1"

Does it work like you need it?

Thanks, the second option works. I was wondering why the keystrokes.cfg is a user account based file and not a system wide file? The x2go server is running system wide right?

keystrokes.cfg

There's a system wide file: /etc/x2go/x2goagent.keystrokes. But you can override it with a user-specific file. In this case this is necessary because the default file of x2go does not contain the autograb keystroke.

So do I understand it right, that one can also add the autograb keystroke to the system wide file?

With the first option, ctrl-alt-g finishes / quits the session (as also noticed on IRC yesterday by someone else).
