Execution Mode

Some connection types may provide a different way to send key sequences (Direct Mode). For example, the Rebex based Terminal connection allows to send commands directly to the server - which might be faster and not error prone to user interference. Choose one of the following options for the key sequence task:

Do not change Execution Mode (Default)
This option will use the current execution mode of the context connection. For example: if your Terminal connection is configured to use Direct Mode, Royal TS will not change the mode and the key sequence will be sent to the server using the Direct Mode
Always use Keyboard Input Simulation
This option will force Royal TS to always send the task to the active connection using keyboard simulation, regardless of the mode the connection is currently configured to use.
Always use Direct Mode (where supported)
This option will force Royal TS to always send the task directly to the active connection when the connection type supports the Direct Mode. If you set this option and execute the task on a connection which doesn't support Direct Mode, the task will be sent using keyboard input simulation.

Show in favorite tasks menu

If checked, the task is accessible through the Favorite Key Sequence Task menu.

No confirmation required

If checked, tasks executed from the Favorite Key Sequence Tasks menu do not show the Task Context confirmation window.

Note

You should only check this option for simple and harmless tasks, such as PING. Tasks which can cause damage if executed for the wrong selection (such as a reboot) should not have checked this option.

A task executed from the Navigation panel or Tasks panel always requires confirmation, regardless of the setting.
