MultiBox (software)

[Ellay]

Wondering if this is a simple addition or not.

Is it possible to choose a set of keys that you want broadcasted to all pc's instead of having every single key sent over? or is the only way by turning on/off the broadcast hotkey.

Thanks

Edit: Steph you should post your pic in the screenshots section give it more flavor, it's empty ><

Micah,

this is my new desktop setup. I would love to have that new MultiBox version with the horizontal dual monitor fix :wink:



Cheers, Steph.

The new version supports horizontally spanned monitors, download the latest one and if that doesn't work let me know and I'll upload a newer version. I thought I already did though...

It is possible and somewhat simple but it would take a lot of work to add so don't hold your breath for that feature. The main slowdown would be the UI, the best way I can think would be to display a picture of a keyboard and you can click on keys to toggle whether or not they broadcast.

Hmm Micah,

at the top of this thread still shows the same version as I originally downloaded, as far as I tell tell by the filename.

Should I be using a different link?
Have you put the new version into an archive file with the same exact name?

I see no 'about' with the version in MultiBox, so its a bit tough to tell.

Cheers, Steph.

If the file name is the same then it's the same, each version has a new filename. What that means is I forgot to post the new version that has horizontal dual-monitors working, I'll try to do that when I get home tonight.

Thank you!

First off, Thanks to Michah for writing this software. I had emailed you back in January about modding the synergy source, and you had directed me here. I'm currently using your software as opposed to the modded synergy and it's awesome.

One feature I find lacking on it is the ability to bind mouse buttons to the broadcast feature. I have a mouse with extra buttons on it. With how I have my keybindings set up(and the lack of using multiple keys to broadcast) I find myself constanly reaching from one side of my keyboard to another, or letting go of my mouse. I think it would be really convenient to be able to bind the broadcast features to mousebutton 4 or higher. Not sure if it would be that difficult, but maybe if you had time you could add that in. The multiple keys would be a nice touch to.. so ctrl + "`" could be bound. That's just an extra feature I thought of for anyone who does use both broadcast features.

Anyways, Thanks again for writing this wicked software, and I hope you do find time to add the mouse bindings feature if you could.

Thanks

One work around would be binding a mouse button to your broadcast key. Not perfect, but it would work.

I wish there was a way, preferably visually, to know if you're broadcasting keyboard/mouse. I can't think of how you could reliably program that, especially to show up in game, though. I had thought about binding it to the shift state of my Nostromo gamepad, but you can't bind a state shift and a keystroke at the same time. So for now if I'm unsure I hit my jump button and see if both characters jump.

Do you mean setting it up so you can use your mouse buttons as your keyboard and/or mouse broadcast toggle? Or do you want to broadcast your mouse buttons but not mouse movement?

Sorry, forgot about this issue. That is the newest version, you say you can't move off the right monitor of the dual-screen and onto the next one?
