Autotype using ctrl-v or a custom auto type key skips the Username when trying to enter username/password in a window of Rustdesk.

  • Connected to remote computer using Rustdesk 1.4.3 (latest as of post). Fullscreen or windowed.
  • open Notepad on remote Rustdesk computer (Win10 or 11)
  • switch to Keepass 2.60 (also in 2.59), find any entry, highlight, press Ctrl-v
  • In Rustdesk notepad, you can see only the password is typed, not the username.

Did not try any other commands from Keepass..
I also have a custom auto-type, and it is the same result.
This worked in Anydesk, all versions.

    This is not a KeePass bug, it is the way rustdesk handles input.

    It is possible that rustdesk moves the cursor when you switch away from it.
    Open RD and place the cursor in the username field.
    Switch to KeePass and then switch back to RD.
    Type a few characters. Do they show in RD?

    cheers, Paul

    Hi,
    I placed my cursor in RD username field, then switched back to Keepass, then Alt-Tab back to Rustdesk, and could not type in the field form.

    I found if I press Tab on my keyboard, then I can type in the form field.
    I repeated this in Keepass, override default by putting a {TAB} field in front of {USERNAME} and it works.

    You should complain to RD. There is no reason to move the cursor upon return.

    cheers, Paul
