Feature Request: View-only mode

[dguerrero33]

I would like to request a View-only mode for aVNC.

For one of the applications I use through VNC, my primary use case is monitoring the remote screen rather than interacting with it. In these situations, it would be helpful to have a dedicated mode that disables all input and presents the remote display with minimal UI elements.

Proposed Behavior

• Add a toggle or menu on the server options to enter View-only mode.
• Disable all touch, mouse, keyboard, and gesture input to the remote host.
• Hide all on-screen controls and overlays to maximize the available viewing area.
• Keep only an easily accessible Disconnect button (or similar exit control) visible so the user can safely end the session.

Benefits

• Prevents accidental input on the remote system.
• Provides a cleaner and less distracting monitoring experience.
• Maximizes screen space for viewing remote content.
• Useful for dashboards, status displays, monitoring applications, and other read-only use cases.

Thank you in advance for considering this feature.
