Hello,
Can you adjust the double-click in Tactical so that it takes the type of system into account? For Windows, a Take Control should be performed, and for Linux systems, a Remote Background. This would make working with Tactical even better :-).
Thank you very much.

Best regards, Jens Bautsch

Hi,
Take Control on Linux works if the system has a graphical user interface (GUI). If no GUI is available, it is not possible to connect with take control.

It might be better if Tactical detects that no GUI is present on a Linux system and automatically redirects to Remote Background instead.

You can already change what the default double click does per user in user preferences (top right), this won't auto detect but I am sure a separate issue has been opened for this, I'll have a look for it
