[Question] Is this kind of setup managed?

[Geobert]

So I have this setup:

Still on Windows for now, but I’m preparing my Linux migration :)

My centre screen is plugged with Display Port on Perso and HDMI on Work.

On Windows, when I switch to HDMI to work, I tricked my current KVM like this (screen 2 is the central one, screen 3 is the left one)

So I can go from Perso to Work seamlessly

Is Lan-Mouse capable of managing this?

or maybe Wayland (I’ll use Niri to begin with) manages screen differently? (deactivate the central one when I switch to HDMI for instance)

Thanks for any highlight :)

Switched to Linux last week, answer’s no. Luckily I do code in Rust so I’ll have a look at this :)

Some insight on which files to look would help! :)

Cheers,

@Geobert this will require adjustments to the protocol (lan-mouse-proto) as well as all input-capture backends.
The way I would want this to be implemented is by having the input-capture report the position that the screen was entered and then move the cursor to that position. (We also need a way of emulating absolute cursor positions for this).

A good starting point would be if you could add Position data to the CaptureEvent adjust the protocol accordingly and emulate the transition on the client.
