Open the connection page to choose a protocol and enter a server address. The new connection opens in a tab, so you can keep other sessions open.

Display the remote desktop in full screen. The button changes to Window Mode, which returns to the normal window. In full screen, use the floating toolbar to access session controls. Stick Toolbar keeps it visible, and Minimize Full Screen Window gives access to your local desktop.

Copy an image of the remote desktop to the local clipboard. Paste it into an image editor or another application to save it.

Observe the remote desktop without sending keyboard or mouse input. Clipboard sharing is also suppressed while this option is enabled. Click the button again to resume controlling the remote desktop.

Enable or disable clipboard exchange between your computer and the remote desktop. Supported content depends on the protocol and server. Clipboard exchange requires View Only to be turned off.

Show a local mouse pointer to help track its position over the remote desktop. Click the button again to turn this option off.

Send as many keyboard shortcuts as possible to the remote desktop. Some shortcuts may remain reserved by the local desktop or window system. Turn this option off to handle shortcuts locally again. Automatic keyboard grabbing on entering full screen can be enabled in the general settings.

Scale the remote image to fit the available window area. Turn this option off to view the desktop without scaling. Remote Desktop Connection remembers separate scaling choices for window and full screen modes. This changes the displayed image size, rather than the remote desktop resolution.

Close the current connection. Closing its tab also disconnects it. This does not issue a logout or shutdown command to the remote computer; what happens to the remote session depends on the server.
