# all1input

hacked together minimal software kvm for linux host, linux/win/osx clients

## Assumptions

You are using evdev with a bluetooth or usb hid on a linux host, with 1 screen per client computer.

I also assume you have some technical know-how. At this time I do not have time or energy to write a decent readme.

## Features

* ssl certs for encryption and authentication

* configurable mouse acceleration

* stability (it does not go down easily, and does not freak out when disconneted for longer time periods)

## Known Bugs

* if no physical mouse is connected to a windows client, the cursor remains invisible but works otherwise

* doubleclick in osx only works for a few select applications because of a missing click count, hint: (Quartz.CGEventSetIntegerValueField(mouseEvent, Quartz.kCGMouseEventClickState, num))

* after a resolution change in osx, the mouse cursor can only move horizontally (bug in xcode?)

* keyboards connected to the linux host are stuck in numlock mode

* windows 8 client does not interact with higher privilege processes

* windows 8 client freezes when clicking on on screen keyboard taskbar icon - err: The resource loader cache doesn't have loaded MUI entry

About the invisible cursor problem: I tried fixing it by turning on mouse keys, which did nothing. So I turned it on manually, which again didn't change anything. For now my solution is to have a mouse connected to the Windows client at all times, even though we don't use it.

The Windows 8 privilege problem can be solved by setting the UIAccess token. I do not know if this is possible for a script, but we can always try.

The windows 8 freeze problem might have more to do with corrupted system files than all1input bugs - try sfc (system file checker).

## Todo

* hide cursor on screen exit (wishful thinking? windows does not allow global mouse cursor visibility control)

* transfer keystate at screen enter

* daemonize / make taskbar app

* make proper package

* use SendInput instead of deprecated SetCursorPos in windows client

## Planned Features

* implement media keys

* support multiple screens per client

* chord typing

* speech recognition relay

* client side hotkeys

* deebouncing for broken keys and switches, also accessibility

* mouse accessibility mode: restrict axes
