Secure Key sequence

It would be nice to secure Key Sequence to be written only in the related console avoiding the possibility to be wrote outside of RoyalTS.

This happened to me today :

Having a Key sequence defined in an endpoint properties "sudo -s {ENTER}$EffectivePassword${ENTER}"
Connect to this endpoint and immediately switch to a chat window
--> Your password has been shared

Hi Cyriel,

this can be done using the Rebex based Terminal connection and switching the key sequence tasks to "direct mode":

https://docs.royalapps.com/r2021/royalts/reference/tasks/key-sequence.html#execution-mode

If you are using PuTTY, it will fall back to keyboard simulation. Because PuTTY is a re-parented external application window, we don't have this kind of control to send keyboard input directly to this window.

Let me know if this helps.

Regards,
Stefan
