xHID

Status of project

Goal: I needed quick implementation of "synergy" client protocol implementation that allows me control of Sway on Wayland.

I currently don't have any intention to extend the project scope as I hope symless will soon release version of client that will support wayland. Or maybe barrier (https://github.com/debauchee/barrier) will be faster?

If you feel you need something extra feel free to fork or update the code and post pull request :)

Test setup, features and limitations

Currently this works as client for synergy server. Test setup:

  • Linux (arch), sway (1:1.2-5), wayland (1.17.0-1)
  • Synergy PRO (1.11.0-rc2-9fecf0bc) as SERVER on Windows 10
  • Python 3.8.1 on linux client

Features:

  • Keyboard and mouse sharing seems to be working properly
  • "Modular" design
  • Attached example configuration file it initialize modules needed to connect to synergy server and create 2 virtual devices (mouse and keyboard)

Limitations:

  • I'm not full-time developer, so there might be bugs in code!
  • Clipboard sharing is not implemented
  • User running xhid might need some extra privileges (at least write access to /dev/uinput to be able to create virtual input device)

Usage

  • ./xhid.py -c ./sym-km.conf

Dependencies

  • python-i3ipc (2.1.1-2)
  • python-libevdev (0.8-2)
