Pre-release
DISCLAIMER
This is BETA and it will have issues (don't expect it to be perfect) but for the main part it should be usable. Known issues can be found bellow, if you find anything new or have suggestions - that can be reported by sending email to [email protected] or on Discord server kvm-beta channel. Majority, if not all, issues will be resolved before a stable release will be published.
Features
- KVM - Share mouse and keyboard between multiple devices
- Move displays around
Fixes
- In license popup if license was selected from file system and cleared it wasn't available for selection again until popup was closed and opened again
- In segments panel previously could not manually enter negative values, they could only be set by dragging the segment or using arrow keys up/down
Other
- Window has now forced minimum size
- Notifications moved from top right to bottom left corner
- Improved setup matching/auto-selection by layout
Known Issues
General
- Connecting more than 2 devices causes one of the connections to drop, potentially due to event syncing
- When borders are split into segments, sometimes setup fails to sync correctly between devices and 'linked' border segments might show up in incorrect position - until this is fixed you can go to KVM connection button dropdown and select 'sync setup' from the device of which setup you want to use
- Majority of most used keys are supported with some exceptions to which support can/will be added on user request
- When crossing mouse over to other devices cursor might not change to pointer on hovered items until device is clicked into
- When app quits unexpectedly the cursor might stay locked, try the following to unlock the cursor
- Window: Alt + Tab to other windows
- When virtual mouse is clicked 4 times, in some other processes it might not trigger a shortcut/event, for example software developers using VSCode won't be able to click 4 times to select all text
- Sometimes when using external mouse instead of trackpad, transitions between devices can get unstable, might jump around, issue does not seem to happen with trackpad. Issue mysteriously stopped happening without specific fix so there's still possibility it could happen
Windows
- Scroll is not very smooth when using mouse of another device
- When drag is used by mouse from another device, it would sometimes trigger 'Show Desktop'/Minimize all windows, however the problem stopped occurring without specific fix. Therefore it's not guaranteed it won't happen and for now it's hard or impossible to debug
Linux
- Precision/touchpad scrolling does not work (both when receiving and sending scroll action), instead mouse wheel like - block - scroll is used, working on solution to support touchpad, will most likely require running Cursr with sudo permissions
MacOS
- Not a Cursr issue: When Fn(Lang)+m is pressed some state is entered where 'e' seems to select 'edit', 'm' and 'c' letters don't print either, input refocus is required
- When using mouse of macOS on transitions to and from other devices it seems to stick to the edges on same/own device. Or when starting to drag things on other devices
- When text is printed using keyboard of another device, if you print midway typing toggle CapsLock, next time you'll use 'Backspace' it will delete 2 characters (If this is a big issue for you - try switching to 'Use local keyboard layout' on mac)
