Using Input Director, you can position the monitors of your systems side-by-side and then control all of them via one keyboard / mouse.
To transition which system you're controlling is as simple as moving the cursor off the screen on one system and it'll pop up on the next screen (similar to a multi-monitor setup) or via a hotkey combo.
Input Director also lets you share clipboard contents, so you can copy from one machine, switch over to another and then paste. This also works for files that are in network shared directories.
New features include:
- Import/Export Input Director configuration as XML
- Make configuration changes using the app or via a new command line tool
- Cursor displayed correctly if mouse is disconnected
- Fixed a bug that could cause Input Director not to resume after connecting to a slave over Remote Desktop
- Have Input Director periodically check for updates and alert you when a new version is available
- Use Wake-On-Lan to wake a slave from sleep when transitioning to it
- Use Wake-On-Lan to wake a slave when the master system is started or resumes
- Minor bug fixes
