Description
Hi,
With a VNC connection configured with "View only" option, it's not possible to "re-enable" the input in the middle of a connection. I suggest to improve this functionality in this way:
- When the "Show only" option is ON in the configuration, the button "VIEW ONLY" in the pannel will change to the real state (at time, it has the default initialization state).
- After that, if the user changes the state of the button, a modal window will appear with this message: "This session is View Only. You want to enable the Input? (YES/NO)".
- And now the user will have the option to enforce enabling the input.
This will improve a lot the functionality, so I hope you want to implement this enhancement.
Regards.

Research direction
Start by locating the VNC connection configuration's "View only" option and the session panel's "VIEW ONLY" button. Trace how their state is initialized, then determine where the confirmation modal should be added; done means the button reflects the configured state and users can explicitly enable input during a view-only session.
