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

KVM Switch for Gaming and WFH
I have a similar gaming/WFH setup (2 monitors at 1440p 144hz) and I’ve been using Barrier instead of a physical kvm, and it works really well. Not sure if you’re open to a software kvm but if you are, I’m happy to answer any questions about it if you have any.

Autoswap Keyboard Layouts based on Operating System
Have you tried Barrier? I casually used it to swap between my main rig and my MBP. Took a minute to get it setup but once I sorted it all out it worked pretty well. It has some settings and tweaks built in to address some of the layout issues you mentioned...

Alternative solution to expensive KVM - Auto Monitor Input Switcher
Barrier appears to handle PC switching only for the keyboard and mouse.

IT/programming multi-monitor setup? (coming from 6x old 21" square)
Sorry, probably not entirely on topic and can't answer anything reliable about the multimonitor stuff, but a tip regarding the 2 mice and 2 keyboards for the 2 different computers: use this: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier It's oss multi-os software that lets you use one mouse and keyboard (server) on several PCs (clients) easily over your LAN.

Extending 2021 Macbook Pro to 2021 iMac
Teleport is like Barrier/Synergy, but only works on Mac. The advantage is that it supports a lot of mac-specific features that Barrier doesn't, like trackpad gestures and rich clipboard syncing.

Share keyboard and mouse between macs?
Have you tried this?

Can one macOS laptop machine display and control another macOS machine but not remote desktop or something?
teleport (great, free)

Is it possible two connect one magic mouse to two different macs?
Apple calls this "Universal Control" and it works with iPad and some selected Macs. Solutions like this have been available forever on Macs (not iPads) and still are valuable if you use an older Mac. Free ones are eg teleport and barrier. There are many more.

KVM for late 2014 Mini
Synergy is cross-platform, but not free and a "company" I despise. teleport is small and easy to use, Share Mouse works, but won't let you log in (IIRC), barrier is a Synergy look-alike, free and quite usable.
-
I'm astounded. Universal Control is truly magic.
Same, Synergy for macOS / Windows / Linux connectivity. I use teleport for macOS to macOS. Teleport supports touchpad gestures perfectly unlike Synergy.
- Found a great free app for using one m/k with two Macs. Teleport.
-
can I remotely control one laptop from another without any screen sharing?
I’m not sure how well it works but there used to be some software called teleport for Mac that would move the mouse/keyboard to the other computer when you moved off the screen. Like a software KVM switch. https://github.com/johndbritton/teleport

MacOS 12.1 Beta Released
If you want it between 2 Macs, just use Teleport. It clearly inspired a lot of the Universal Control features and supports everything like trackpad gestures, cross-device drag & drop, etc.
-
macOS 12 Monterey beta 10 as of 14th October 2021. They enabled this settings on the Mac.
For those who can’t wait for this feature to be released, I’d recommend the excellent Teleport as a free alternative to Synergy. It’s limited to Mac only, but it’s great at what it does. https://github.com/johndbritton/teleport
