→Pre-configuring the Pi for headless operation

When you are using a terminal, some of the key combinations, or mouse actions, will be different to those that work when using the computer normally. You will need to check your terminal application, and also whatever you are running on your Pi; but you might find the mouse can't affect cursor location, the mouse might be needed to select text, the left click might copy what is selected, and the right click might paste what is in clipboard at current cursor position. | When you are using a terminal, some of the key combinations, or mouse actions, will be different to those that work when using the computer normally.

====Alternative to SSH==== | |||
While SSH gives you access to command lines, and lets you use '''sudo''' to overcome the fact that the default user does not have '''root''' rights, there might be some times when you are operating your Pi in a headless state (without keyboard or monitor) yet you want to explore its graphical user interface. See [https://thepihut.com/blogs/raspberry-pi-tutorials/remotely-accessing-the-raspberry-pi-via-rdp-gui-mode this tutorial] for one way to do this. | |||
