Another VNC viewer alternative
While it's still in early development, I can highly recommend JollysFastVNC. It's very fast, and works quite well, especially with Mac servers. Give it a try (and forgive the icon!).
Another VNC viewer alternative
I second this. I've been using ChickenOfTheVNC for several years, but I've switched to JollysFastVNC. It's by far the fastest VNC viewer and it's very stable.
…unless you use vi
Jollys is good, but if you use fullscreen and vi, you're in for a world of hurt. Hitting ESC while in fullscreen mode drops you out of fullscreen mode. A bit of a pain. I use fullscreen Chicken of the VNC for this.
Another VNC viewer alternative
I have started using JollysFastVNC because it's very lightweight and doesn't hog cpu when it's not doing anything. My only complaint is that it's not very mature when it comes to key bindings. e.g. command-Q quits a remote application, but command-W closes the local JFVNC window. (this is maddening ;) )
JollysFastVNC Close menu patch
If you have the Apple Developer Tools installed you can change JollyFastVNC's 'close window' keyboard shortcut very easily:
right click on the application choose '"Show Package Contents' navigate to JollysFastVNC.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib double clicking on the MainMenu.nib will open the file in the Interface Builder double click on the MainMenu in the MainMenu.nib (English) window click 'Window' double click on 'W' press the new shortkey (I use command-shift-W) save the changes and quit the Interface Builder Now you can close remote windows using command-w and JollysFastVNC windows using command-shift-w. I have placed the modified nib file on my server so you can just copy it to JollysFastVNC.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/ to apply the change mentioned above. http://dettmer.maclab.org/forum/JollyFastVNC_Shift_Command_W.zip |
