Build 6 has mouseover (KM)

[Freddie]

Mojo build 6 is ready to test.

Download Mojo

Build 6 has a new feature, mouseover. (The sort of thing that Kavoom and Synergy do.) Configuration is very easy. Just go to Mouseover Settings on the main menu and drag your monitors around. There's also a new button at the top of the main window to turn the feature off and on.

I didn't get a chance to test whether mouseover coexists smoothly with broadcast, so I'd appreciate it if somebody would try and let me know. My intention was that mouseover takes precedence over broadcast, but maybe there's a better way to handle it.

I'd also appreciate comments about the instruction page for the feature. Is the text clear, is it complete, does it contain typos, etc.

Instructions for mouseover on Mojo's website

[Freddie]

I just want to mention, it's been exactly one month since I started work on Mojo.

I had hoped by today the program's infrastructure would be complete:

-- new program's name
-- website
-- source code depository
-- open source license chosen
-- forum where testers talk to each other
-- installer

And, most important

-- a public build would be available with genuinely useful features so people can start using the program for real.

The last thing is the really hard item. If it turns out that mouseover is free of serious bugs, then I'll be able to say that I met my goals by the one-month deadline.

The mouseover code came from HotkeyNet 2 where it was pretty much debugged, but I may have accidentally screwed it up while transplanting it to its new home inside Mojo.

i can't wait to get home and test this new version out! keep up the good work Freddie!

Started it up on two PC's. The two clients find each other instantly IP address computer name is all populated.

I use Input Director it is not playing nice with Mojo at all. The slave PC (Input director slave) works fine the mouse movements and clicks are all registering. The Master (Input director master) the mouse movements are sluggish and the double clicks do not register even if I turn off Mouseover.

When I disable Input director it all works fine. What is curious is I am typing on my slave computer the mouse and keyboard are not connected to this computer. Input Director is disable I am using Mojo, but I have broadcasting disabled on both ends and the keys are still being passed from my other computer that has the mouse and keyboard connected to it.

I will mess with it more when I have time I was anxious to try it out.

FYI
Managed to get Build 2 working under 3 windows clients running on 2 different opensuse 11.2 hosts (vmware workstation 6). Must add that I have zero experience with windows, the machines were setup by a collegue. I just installed mojo and tried basic key broadcasting following your instructions. Thought I'd let you know

Tried installing mojo under wine, but to no avail so far (no big deal, was just a try).

This project is really promising, and if it turns out to be really good, I might get me my first windows os license ever in my life to run it with wow

On a final note, I've been active in several open source projects over the past decade+ (bigger and smaller), and must say that your approach rocks

Cheers

That's all we can expect. We can't expect two KM programs to run together at the same time.

What is curious is I am typing on my slave computer the mouse and keyboard are not connected to this computer. Input Director is disable I am using Mojo, but I have broadcasting disabled on both ends and the keys are still being passed from my other computer that has the mouse and keyboard connected to it.

Mouseover and broadcasting are separate functions of Mojo. One can be off and the other can be on.

Also, the on/off buttons only stop their computer from sending. They don't stop it from receiving.

Hehe well if Mojo gets you to buy Windows that will be quite a compliment.

I'm very glad to hear that. This is the first time I've had anything to do with an open source project, so I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I'm just trying to guess what info people would want to see etc.

This program works amazingly good when it comes to connection. I have 9 IP addresses on my home network it found the second computer and I did nothing.

Even with Input Director and Multiplicity or Synergy I had to set up IP addresses.

I messed around a little more with the key broadcasting. Is there a Master and Slave? I can see the key states from the first mojo to the second but when I move my mouse to the second PC I do not see the keys being passed to the first mojo. Broadcasting is turned on both directions.

I am calling the first client to start as the first.

Glad to hear it. My first goal for Mojo is to make it the easiest multiboxing program in the world.

Is there a Master and Slave?

Nope. All Mojos are equal. They all can do the same things.

I can see the key states from the first mojo to the second but when I move my mouse to the second PC I do not see the keys being passed to the first mojo.

Do you mean you're typing on PC 1's keyboard, and

PC 1's mouse is moused over to PC 2, and

WoW is in the foreground on PC 2, and

keystrokes are not getting broadcast to PC 1?

If that's what you mean, it's probably because. I deliberately kept broadcast and mouseover somewhat separate in this build because potentially they can interact in bad ways and I'd like to get them both debugged first.

Yes that is just what I meant. Looking very good you have something special in the works here.
