It is recommended that when the mouse pointer leaves the remote desktop, release the mouse to return to the local host.

oh? sorry I didn't quite understand how it works. When the mouse pointer leaves the remote desktop, is it in a pressed state? Is that why we have to release the mouse to return to the local host?

I initially thought this too, but testing it now, I can't see what the problem is about.

Sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear enough.
I want the keyboard to be released when I move the mouse pointer back the taskbar on the local host.
Currently I have to click the mouse to release the keyboard from the remote host.

What is the purpose of it, is it clicking the local taskbar that inconvenient ?

Yes, it's a little inconvenient.
When I move the mouse away from the remote host, I get used to using keyboard shortcuts to operate programs while the keyboard is still on the remote host.
The localhost task bar is often full, and clicking on the localhost task bar will switch to the clicked program, which is very inconvenient.
So, I want the keyboard to be released from the remote host when the mouse cursor moves to the local host.

Just a suggestion.

MobaXterm does just that.

it's kinda late, but I finally wrapped it up. download the nightly build and let me know if it's looking good.
