  • barrier

    Open-source KVM software

  • Alternatively, perhaps someone is a barrier pro and can figure out a solution to the problem. I posted an issue about it here: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1180

  • vfio-kvm

    A systemd service that sends a D-Bus signal when the QEMU evdev hotkey is triggered.

  • evdev would be the traditional way of handling a simple use case. If that's not working for you, or you want more features, I wrote a service called VFIO-KVM that you can try. It has the advantage of also being able to trigger programs (like ddccontrol for changing monitor inputs) when you switch between VMs.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
