Dear maintainers - thanks for your attention and this great product ! :-)

Describe the bug you encountered:

I am not able to configure the public key for encryption - the config dialog misses the key field.

(myserver.com obviously is not my server - just typed that in for security reasons)

Also, the Server property just has a label but no input field.

What did you expect to happen instead?

I want to configure the key in the dialog - or alternatively in a config file.
I tried to add a "key" entry in the ~/.config/rustdesk/Rustdesk.toml file but that did not work.

How did you install RustDesk?

As nixos package (see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/applications/networking/remote/rustdesk/default.nix)

RustDesk version and environment

1.1.9 Linux (NIXOS 22.05 unstable)

Just wanted to add that the issue does not seem to be language-related because when I start the rustdesk client with

export LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8
export LANG=en_US.utf8
export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8
rustdesk

the UI is in English but the key field is still missing.

Although the Relay Server ("Verbindungsserver" in german) field looks better there:
