Using the system's SSH client with SpiritVNC is NOT an elegant solution, and you may encounter some freezes while connections are closed in the background. On some OSs the child `ssh` processes won't even close properly. I keep working and experimenting, and eventually I'll find some better way to do this. Any suggestions are welcome! 👍

#### New feature: Fullscreen
10+
A new feature has been added -- fullscreen. Pressing the F11 key will put SpiritVNC-FLTK into fullscreen mode when viewing a remote server. Pressing F11 again will take the app out of fullscreen. This feature may be rough around the edges, so if any issues, please file a problem report

#### Does it work on Windows?
1013
While testing Windows 11 recently, I *have* been able to get SpiritVNC-FLTK working on it, although easy inclusion and static compiling of dependencies has been a challenge. Windows-specific code is upcoming, although the user experience is far from great; mostly due to terminal windows opening when connecting to VNC-through-SSH servers and [Windows-specific libvncclient bugs](https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+windows). Check back often to see what's happening with this.
