# Accept Portal Dialog

Automatically accept Portal dialogs for Input Capture and Remote Control/Desktop.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> 🎉 For Deskflow and Synergy, thanks to @whot, this tool is now redundant:
> - Remote Desktop: https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow/pull/8865
> - Input Capture: https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow/pull/9415

## Demo

```
$ accept-portal-dialog

[2025-08-09 00:29:02] Watching for Portal permission dialogs... Press Ctrl+C to stop.
[2025-08-09 00:29:06] Found GNOME dialog: Remote Desktop (ID: 2176466517, Focus: yes)
[2025-08-09 00:29:06] Accepting GNOME Portal permission dialog

```

## Who's this for?

This tool was born out of frustration with the Portal permission dialogs:

Users and developers of applications like Deskflow, Synergy, and LAN Mouse find Portal permission dialogs frustrating. For users, they must be present at the remote computer to accept the dialog.

For a Deskflow/Synergy developer, or any remote access tool developer, these dialogs are a nightmare during development as you will likely see them hundreds of times a day.

This tool is for people who find these dialogs annoying, and want them to be automatically accepted.

## Long term goal

This tool is a workaround, not a long-term fix.

The Portal project is working on fixing this UX problem, but it will take time to become generally available.

Once the fix is complete in Portal and it becomes ubiquitous, this project will become obsolete and can be archived.

## What people say

The Linux community is divided on this tool, and opinions about it are mixed.

One [Reddit user](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1mlxgiv/comment/n7tl9db/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) says:
> Security implications aside, this is a bad idea in itself.

But, on the other hand:

## Tool setup

On both GNOME and KDE, you'll need to install: [`ydotool`](https://gabrielstaples.com/ydotool-tutorial/)

### GNOME

GNOME requires you to enable unsafe mode:

1. Press Alt+F2
2. Enter: `lg`
3. Run: `global.context.unsafe_mode = true`

You can also create an extension (see below) to do this automatically.

### KDE

On KDE, you'll also need to install: [`kdotool`](https://github.com/jinliu/kdotool)

## Running

To start monitoring for Portal permission dialogs and automatically accepting them,
run the Python script from a Terminal:

```
./accept-portal-dialog.py
```

## Config

A config file is generated by default at `~/.config/accept-portal-dialog/config.ini`:

The values can be changed, and will be used when the tool is restarted.
You should already be familiar with editing .ini files before attempting this.

> [!WARNING]
> The minimum sleep/delay values 0.5; any lower and the GUI doesn't have time to do
> it's fancy animations. This is especially noticeable on GNOME.

Numbers in the sequence are `ydotool` compatible key codes:
| Key | Code |
| --- | ---- |
| Alt | 56 |
| S | 31 |
| Enter | 28 |
| Tab | 15 |

Example for Chinese users who want to accept the 'Input capture' dialog on KDE:

```
[kde]
dialog_titles = 請求遠端控制權限
```

Example to change the accept key sequence to Alt+S on KDE:

```
[kde]
accept_sequence_0 = 56,31
```

Default for `accept_sequence_0` on KDE is `Enter`. This is OK on KDE as the dialog is a bit
more consistently designed. The GNOME dialogs may have varying tab orders, so Alt+S tends to
work better in that case which is why it's the default. However, Alt+S is not great for i18n
so you may want to use a series of Tap presses and the Enter key.

```
[gnome]
accept_sequence_0 = 28
accept_sequence_1 = <sleep>
accept_sequence_3 = 15
accept_sequence_4 = 15
accept_sequence_5 = 28
```

You may need to remove a tab depending on the dialog title (e.g. remote desktop or input capture).

The `<sleep>` is necessary on GNOME, as it takes a moment for the GUI to do some fancy animation
after toggling the switch to enabled.

## GNOME Unsafe Extension

> [!WARNING]
> Do not do this unless you really know what you're doing; it's very unsafe and should only be done by experts.

Doing 'Alt+F2 → lg → global.context.unsafe_mode = true' every time you login is a pain.

To avoid having to do this, create an extension.

`mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/unsafe-mode@local`

`metadata.json`
```json
{
  "uuid": "unsafe-mode@local",
  "name": "Unsafe Mode Enabler",
  "description": "Sets global.context.unsafe_mode to true at session start.",
  "version": 1,
  "shell-version": ["47"]
}
```

`extension.js`
```js
import { Extension } from 'resource:///org/gnome/shell/extensions/extension.js';

export default class UnsafeModeExtension extends Extension {
  enable() {
    try {
      if (global && global.context && 'unsafe_mode' in global.context) {
        global.context.unsafe_mode = true;
        console.log('[unsafe-mode] unsafe_mode set to true');
      } else {
        console.error('[unsafe-mode] global.context.unsafe_mode not found');
      }
    } catch (e) {
      console.error('[unsafe-mode] failed to set unsafe_mode:', e);
    }
  }

disable() {
    // Optional: flip it back
    // if (global && global.context && 'unsafe_mode' in global.context)
    //   global.context.unsafe_mode = false;
  }
}
```

**Important:** On Wayland, you'll need to log out and log back in to load the extension.

## Dialogs

These dialogs are supported by default.
