System Settings

System Settings

System Settings control Total Control behavior at the application level. Unlike Device Settings, which apply to an individual device, System Settings generally affect Total Control, WDM, MDCC, scripting, input, display, REST API, and other global functions.

Connect

• Control / Mirroring — Controls whether connected devices can be controlled, mirrored, or both.
• Set Individually — Allows Control and Mirroring behavior to be configured separately for individual devices.
• SCA IP and Port Settings — Configures optional Sigma Connection Agent endpoints by IP address and port.

Control

Sigma Keyboard

• Enable Sigma Keyboard — Uses Sigma Keyboard to support PC keyboard input on Android devices.
• Paste Directly to Device — Sends pasted Windows clipboard text directly to the active Android input field.
• Paste as Plain Text — Removes formatting when text is pasted to the device.
• Auto Send Enter Key — Automatically sends Enter after text input when enabled.
• Autotext Input — Expands configured abbreviations into longer text strings.
• Configure — Opens the Autotext configuration.

Screenshot / Share

• To PC / To Device — Configures how screenshots are saved either on the Windows PC or Android device.
• Path — Specifies the folder used for screenshots saved on the PC.
• Format — Selects the screenshot format, such as JPG.
• Quality — Adjusts screenshot image quality for applicable formats.
• Save Screenshot to File / Clipboard — Saves screenshots as files or places them directly on the Windows clipboard.
• Save Device Shared Image — Controls whether shared device images are saved to a file, clipboard, or both.

Record Video

• Duration per Segment — Specifies the maximum duration of each recorded video segment.

Capture PC

• Resize to 1080p / Native Resolution — Controls whether captured Windows screen content is resized before being transferred to the Android device.
• Hot Key — Assigns a Windows keyboard shortcut for starting Capture PC.

Copy

• Clipboard Auto Sync to PC — Automatically copies text obtained from the Android device to the Windows clipboard.

Boss Key

• Boss Key — Configures a keyboard shortcut or action for quickly hiding or controlling Total Control windows.

Short Keys

• Disable the Right Mouse Button — Prevents the right mouse button from performing its normal Total Control action.
• Disable Sync Quick Keys (m, k, f) — Disables the quick keyboard shortcuts used to toggle mouse, keyboard, and function-key synchronization.

Screen Control Mode

• Swipe — Interprets mouse dragging primarily as Android swipe gestures.
• Scroll — Interprets applicable mouse movement as scrolling behavior.

ADB Version

• adb / adb2 / adb3 — Selects the ADB implementation used by Total Control.

Jitter Range

• Jitter Range — Adds a small configurable variation to coordinates, useful when scripts or repeated actions should not always use the exact same point.

Device

• Compression Mode — Selects the device screen transfer mode when more than one mode is available.
• Device Auto Sleep — Allows or prevents the connected device from automatically entering sleep according to the configured behavior.
• Backup Save Path — Specifies the storage location used by applicable backup functions.
• Reset Saved Android Devices — Clears Total Control's remembered Android-device identification so devices can be detected or configured again.

Display

• Frames per Second — Displays the current device screen frame rate when enabled.
• Show Coordinates — Displays mouse coordinates over the Device Window using both relative and absolute device coordinates.
• Initial Display Mode — Selects whether Total Control starts in Multi-Device Control Center or Windows Desktop Mode.
• Shortcuts — Configures application-level keyboard shortcuts.
• Notification Management — Controls storage and management of Total Control notifications.

Startup

• Auto Start Up — Starts Total Control automatically with Windows when enabled.
• TCHelp — Enables or disables Total Control's integrated TCHelp system.

REST API

Account Information

• Username / Password — Configures credentials used to access the Total Control REST API.

Duration Setting

• Connection Duration — Specifies how long an authorized REST connection remains active; 0 represents an unlimited duration.

Local Storage

• Enable Local Storage — Enables REST-accessible storage areas.
• Authorized Storage Area — Defines folders that REST clients are permitted to access; localhost access can have broader permissions.

Port Setting

• Port — Specifies the TCP port used by the Total Control REST API.

Connection List

• Connection List — Displays active or recent REST clients and their connection status, including timeout information.

Tools

User Settings Backup / Restore

• Backup — Saves Total Control user configuration and settings.
• Restore — Restores previously saved Total Control user configuration and settings.

Log Storage

• Maximum Log File Size — Sets the maximum size of individual Total Control log files.
• Maximum Number of Log Files — Limits how many log files Total Control retains.
• Add Items to Log / FindNode — Enables additional FindNode logging when troubleshooting or debugging is required.

WDM

These settings apply only when Total Control is operating in Windows Desktop Mode.

Portrait / Landscape Window Size

• Portrait Mode Width — Sets the default width of Device Windows in portrait orientation.
• Landscape Mode Height — Sets the default height of Device Windows in landscape orientation.
• Apply to All — Applies the configured WDM window dimensions to all applicable Device Windows.
• 0 — Uses the default size.

Synchronization Mode

• X,Y — Uses coordinate-based synchronization between the main device and selected devices.
• Accessibility (Enable FindNode) — Enables Accessibility and FindNode support for object-based scripting and synchronization.
• Obj — Uses UI-object-based synchronization instead of fixed screen coordinates.

X,Y synchronization repeats actions at corresponding screen coordinates. Obj synchronization identifies Android UI elements and performs the equivalent action on those elements, making synchronization less dependent on screen resolution or layout.

FPS

• Enable — Allows WDM frame-rate control.
• Auto Select — Lets Total Control choose an appropriate frame rate automatically.
• FPS — Sets the requested Device Window frame rate manually.
• Set FPS to 0 When Script Runs — Can reduce screen rendering during script execution to improve multi-device scripting performance.
