\"\"<\/p>\n

RustDesk, the popular open-source remote desktop software, released new 1.5.0 version today!<\/p>\n

The new version comes with many UI and UX improvements, new and updated translations, and various bug-fixes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For mobile device, the release add a new Lock canvas toggle<\/b> in display settings. With it enabled, it prevents user from using two-finger scale gestures to pan or resize the remote screen.<\/p>\n

The normal mouse pointer input and the existing special hold-drag behavior work as before. And, the lock only applies to the current session and is cleared when you disconnect.<\/p>\n

RustDesk on iPhone, accessing remote Ubuntu desktop<\/p><\/div>\n

The mobile terminal keyboard in the release now has a collapsible third row with one-shot Ctrl and Alt modifiers<\/strong>, making it easier to use keyboard shortcuts and terminal commands on phones and tablets.<\/p>\n

Also for the terminal session, it now uses platform-native copy and paste shortcuts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Windows, it uses Ctrl+C<\/b> (with text selected) and Ctrl+V<\/b> will do copy & paste actions, while Ctrl+C<\/b> without text selected will send 0x03<\/code> that interrupts current command. And in Linux, it uses Ctrl+Shift+C<\/b>\/Ctrl+Shift+V<\/b> to do copy and paste, while Ctrl+C<\/code>\/Ctrl+V<\/code> will send 0x03<\/code>\/0x16<\/code> to remote terminal.<\/p>\n

RustDesk’s terminal now has opt-in OSC 52 clipboard writes<\/b> support. Meaning it can now copy text from a remote terminal application such as Vim or tmux directly to your local computer’s clipboard. The feature is however disabled by default due to security and privacy implication.<\/p>\n

For macOS, RustDesk 1.5.0 now supports auto-update silently in background.<\/b> It will check & install updates 30 seconds after app launch, and retry in 30 min on failure. Though, user has choice to disable this auto-update behavior in settings.<\/p>\n

For users who use RDP tunnel<\/b> to connect to a Windows computer, this version now shows recognizable title names instead of “localhost” for every RDP session, making multiple RDP sessions easier to distinguish.<\/p>\n
