Controlling a PC from a phone

Touch gestures, the virtual keyboard and practical tips for phone-based control.

The phone is a controller you always carry. With gestures and the virtual keyboard mastered, handling an urgent task from a phone is barely slower than sitting at the desk.

Basic gestures

One-finger tap is a left click, long press is right click or drag, two-finger swipe scrolls, and pinch zooms the view.

  • One-finger tap = left click
  • Long press = right click or drag
  • Two-finger swipe = scroll
  • Pinch = zoom the view

Input and shortcuts

Call up the virtual keyboard to type; use the modifier panel for Ctrl, Alt and Win — hold the modifier, then tap the target key.

  • Open the virtual keyboard from the toolbar
  • Modifier panel sends Ctrl, Alt and Win
  • One-tap common combinations
  • Switch input language and layout

Practical tips

Landscape gives a wider view; zoom in before fine work; for long sessions a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard make a big difference.

  • Use landscape for a wider view
  • Zoom in before precise work
  • Pair a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard
  • Switch to Smooth quality on weak networks

FAQ

Can I transfer files from my phone?

Yes. Sessions support file transfer, and you can browse remote directories and download to the phone.

The phone battery drains fast. Why?

Sessions keep the network and decoder busy. Use a charger or power-saving options, and exit the session completely when done.
