the other thing related to this same issue is that if I hit Cmd/W the NoMa window closes, unless I toggle keyboard control.

Perhaps when remotely using NoMa the close NoMa window would be triggered by an alternative keystroke?  Cmd/opt/W or the like.  Leaving Cmd/W to the MacOS.  But again, maybe that’s not possible because the MacOS take priority?

[Fritz]

Yes and no.  I’m on my friends Mac via NoMa.  But I want to switch back to my local Mac to look for something.  Cmd/tab rotates thru his open apps when I trigger

One way to do this is with Mission Control and Spaces.  Problem is, if I trigger MC (Cntl/up arrow) it triggers MC on his Mac. If I Cmd/M (minimize) NoMa, the only way back to his screen (that I have found) is to bring it back from the dock as there is no “un-minimize” shortcut in MacOS.

I was wondering if there is a (NoMa) key shortcut to do the equivalent of Cmd/tab but include my local instance of NoMa in the rotation?  Or is it a situ where the MacOS takes priority?

I hope that makes sense.

thanks Britgirl.  That was it.

specifically, for Monterey.

Sys Prefs/Privacy & Security/Privacy/Screen Recording.

It didn’t do it at 1st because there was a Security setting on the mac that needed a tick.  All good. Thanks,  I now see the screen on log in.

Thanks fra81.  I’ll give that a go.  I always wanted to be privileged.

node.cfg won’t take the edit/change

[Fritz]

I just tried again after checking some NX related sys prefs and toggling.

Put the Mac to sleep. Logged-in with NoMachine.  Android screen (client) stays blank, but Mac remote screen opens, and I can see the cursor and move it from the Android.

[Fritz]

where can the node.cfg file be found?  I don’t see it in sys or user library, NoMachine/Contents, App Support, Prefs, Containers

[Fritz]

session window stays blank.  I’ll try that.  Thanks Britgirl.

[Fritz]

Dunno.  Waiting for the need to connect again.

I know I tried Cmd/tab, but I don’t recall if I had kb grab enabled.

When I tried ESC there was no result or error that I saw.

[Fritz]

I knew it was a good idea ….

nudge, nudge, wink, wink

as it turns out (figures) Xfinity deleted the wrong acct.  We were wasting our time with the wrong WAN IP & password.

All good now.

[Fritz]

Just that attachment which I guess is rather historical than current?

I’m thinking, as I said, that Xfinity had a reset and the pfs were lost.

Working on that idea now with their “customer support”

[Fritz]

Yes, that’s what it turned out to be.

Home power was apparently shut down which of course made the router reset the pIP as well as the LAN IPs.

Also caused 2 unmanaged switches to end up powered, but not passing signal.

All good.  Thanks,
