Long Key Hold Bug

It's not about delay it's about the send keys method . Team Viewer sends individual key press for etch time you press a key on the keyboard this is easier for the developer. I don't know what method they use for controlling the system but in Windows you can send keys with the Sendkeys class at winForms or when accessing the WIN32 API if they access the win32 API they can definitely send key down and key up input to the system so they should have no problems technology speaking , but they are probably too lazy to add support for that in their apps because the mobile keyboard only sends them key presses so they'll have to implement their own mobile keyboard . This is the result of lazy developers not delay internet connection or Windows problems they have the method there they can access it they are just lazy to build  their UI to use it. 

Ok I understand the reasons why you would consider this extra functionality unnecessary as TeamViewer is indeed not a service designed for gaming.

I’m sure you’re aware of this but long pressing a key is a functionality that isn’t necessarily needed in gaming I personally as a creator and developer need this kind of functionality in some programs to properly and effectively interact with the UI .

A touch screen can’t replace a mouse and keyboard but it can get closer to giving  the possibilities that a keyboard and mouse can. I wouldn’t  say it’s a deal breaker but I find it really annoying to spam press keys to do simple tasks. Hope you would re consider this topic. It is definitely a limit of TeamViewer .

Thanks you for your response Scotty .

Your program I always use to communicate with the family when she is away from me, in particular with my little son who is happy with me to play simple online games through the browser. So, just "WASD" there and need. It's a pity that your program does not allow me to be closer to my son in this regard. But thank you so much for everything else.

Вашу программу я всегда использую для связи с семьей, когда она вдали от меня, в часности с моим маленьким сыном, который рад со мной играть в простые онлайн игры через браузер. Так вот, как раз "WASD" там и нужен. Жаль что Ваше программа не позволяет мне быть ближе к моему сыну в этом плане. Но огромное спасибо, за все остальное.

I had made 6 AHK [Auto Hot Key] scripts that allowed me to play 3D games remotely. The scripts placed on the remote computer were for jumping and walking, but the script for resetting the cursor position was placed on the local computer. With these scripts, the movement will be consistent, but there will be an input lag of 100ms.

Here are the scripts:

For forward-walking:

w::
Send {Up down}
Sleep 100
Send {Up up}

For backward-walking:

s::
Send {Down down}
Sleep 100
Send {Down up}

For strafing right:

d::
Send {Right down}
Sleep 100
Send {Right up}

For strafing left:

a::
Send {Left down}
Sleep 100
Send {Left up}

For jumping:

Space::
Send {0 down}
Sleep 100
Send {0 up}

For resetting the cursor position(Beware: You will have to set the center of the game screen yourself, as it varies on where you placed the window. Also, this must be placed and run on the local computer, not on the remote one.) This can be toggled by pressing CTRL+Q. Due to AHK's input processing, when trying to toggle this off, it might not work the first time, so try pressing CTRL+Q multiple times.

^D::
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
MouseGetPos, MouseX, MouseY
if toggle := !toggle
 gosub, MoveTheMouse
else
 SetTimer, MoveTheMouse, off
return
MoveTheMouse:
MouseMove, <XCOORD INTEGER>, <YCOORD INTEGER>, 0
SetTimer, MoveTheMouse, 50
return

Before running all of the scripts, set the game's controls for Forward-walking to the UP-Arrow key, Backward-walking to the DOWN-Arrow key, Strafing right to the RIGHT-arrow key, Strafing left to the LEFT-Arrow key and Jumping to the key 0. Then when playing the game from the local computer, just use W,A,S,D and SPACE as usual.

You can find AutoHotKey on https://autohotkey.com/. I hope that this helped.

we simply haven't designed and don't intend to design the software for remote gaming.

Not only gaming is when this would be important, but in several graphic design, video editing and other similar applications.

For example: in Adobe After Effects long pressing spacebar enables dragging the viewport with the mouse, one press of spacebar starts a RAM preview (rendering and playback of the actual sequence). When I use After Effects with TeamViewer, every time I try to drag the viewport with space, it rapidly starts and stops and starts and stops... a RAM preview, while you can drag the viewport cca 1 pixel away until you don't release and press again the spacebar, which is pretty frustrating.

In Cinema 4D all camera controls are possible with a key being hold pressed (1: pan, 2: zoom, and 3: rotate) while dragging the mouse, and these very basic and essential controls are unusable via TeamViewer. These are like the steering wheel in a car, not off-road use or anything extreme.

Sure would be nice to be able to long press keys. It shouldn't be hard to send a key down event on a press, and a key up event on release of that key....instead of spamming that key press constantly. Just don't send anymore key events after the initial press of a given key until after it has been released.

I am not a gamer, but I am also experiencing keyboard delays when typing on the remote computer. I never noticed these delays when using the Windows client, but I recently got a MacBookPro and I'm experiencing keystroke delays when using TeamViewer for Mac connecting to a Windows 10 host.

Thanks.

Not sure if this is the same issue, but I'm a developer, and just being in a text editor and pressing up, right, left or down arrows to navigate through the code is a pain.

The key repetition rate is very low, and the cursor keeps moving after I release the key. Pretty invonvenient.

**Third Party Product** do the job Go and try that!

What's interesting is the regular keys (including WASD) have this issue but the keys to the right (HOME/END etc and the number keypad, do not have this issue (for me)

I'd just like to say this isn't just gamers.

Holding the spacebar is crucial in almost all Adobe programs.

+1 for a solution for this.

We're a design Studio using mostly Cinema 4D and After Effects and neither the spacebar nor the hotkeys 1, 2, 3 (this is used inside C4D to navigate the viewport, e.g. hold 1, click left MB and move the mouse) get translated correctly. Most other remote control software does this correctly (but has other flaws, hence we're using TV) so there must be a way to get those commands across?

Thanks in advance!

Same problem here, although I found a work-around for this problem

try SHIFT+SPACE long pressing to move the image ( in photoshop ). Press Shift  before Space, then keep both long pressed 

Good luck!

Please fix this soon TeamViewer, it's really frustrating and slows down work flow massively.
