Preferences

To configure Vinagre, choose Edit ▸ Preferences. The Preferences dialog contains the following items:

Always show tabs

Select this option to make the tabs always visible, even when only one connection is active.

Show menu shortcuts

By selecting this option, keyboard shortcuts, like Ctrl+D and menu accelerators, like Alt+M to access the Machine menu, will be enabled. This means that Vinagre will catch those key combinations, instead of sending them to the remote machine. Because most of the time you will be working on the remote machine, this option comes disabled by default.
