Looking for a File Manager that can preview EXCEL, WORD and PDF files.
I tried Quicklook. It is much faster and has easy to install plugins, for example to view Office documents even without having them installed. I saw in its Wiki page that it can be integrated with TotalCommander, I wonder if this is also the case with FreeCommander. Do you have any idea how to do it? Thanks.

Prior to Synergy going to closed source, it was forked into Barrier[0], which then was forked into input-leap[1]. Both open source.
Synergy is open core, these portions are licensed as GPL: https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/#License-1-ov-file
There is an open source fork that branches off version 1.9: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier#what-is-it

Wayland vs. X – Overview
libei looks useful. But IDK why libei is necessary to run Barrier with Wayland?
For client systems, couldn't there just be a virtual /dev/inputXYZ that Barrier forwards events through
And for host systems, it looks like xev only logs input events when the window is focused.
Is xeyes still broken on Wayland, and how to fix it so that it would work with Barrier?
With Barrier, when the mouse cursor reaches a screen boundary, the keyboard and mouse input are then passed to a different X session on another box until the cursor again crosses a screen boundary rule.
Barrier is a fork of Synergy's open core: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
