opinion/poll: keyclone w/ wow-maximizer functionality

[keyclone]

i have been contemplating whether or not to add wow-maximizer functionality to keyclone. it would be fairly simple and would help people layout their screens.

so i am basically looking for feedback.

(going to try the poll for the first time )

FYI: the added functionality would enable the user to easily split-screen or quad screen their setup. technically, i could do any layout, any resolutions i want.

if you can do it with easy interface, liek a few mouse clicks to make some layout, that would be cool

It would certainly need to support multi monitors to be useful for me, but it would certainly be useful.

Profiles would be handy as well...

Launcher:
Profile 1
- 1280x1024 Display 1, KeyMap: new_master.kcl
- 640x512 Display 2, 640 right margin, 512 bottom margin, KeyMap: bazan.kcl
- 640x512 Display 2, 640 right margin, 512 top margin, KeyMap: cazan.kcl

Profile 2
- 1280x1024 Display 1, KeyMap: darke_master.kcl
- 1280x1024 Display 2, KeyMap: gnusmas_slave.kcl

That sorta thing, lets you launch a process, size and margin it, and associate a keymap all at once...

I think this poll is a bit fruitless. What would be the reason to say "OMFG PLEASE, no maximizer functionality, it would ruin my day!"? The more the better. I use Maximizer at the moment and I am quite happy with it. What kind of annoys me, is that I have to start the client 5 times, so some sort of "start those clients and maximize them" would really be appreciated.
On a sidenote: I still get this bug where some of my toons run of to nowhere when I move the mouse to another display. Please fix this first :-)

Keep in mind that Maximizer is open source, so implementing it would be a matter of throwing a GUI into KeyClone for it.

Tracking down a bug of this nature can take quite some effort, can you duplicate it with 100% accuracy? If not, it's even harder.

[keyclone]

actually, i wouldn't use the source for wow-maximizer, as that would be unethical and/or illegal (depending on the license)... but the technique is trivial (considering everything else keyclone is doing, this would be fairly easy)

I think having functions similar to Multibox/Synergy would be far more useful, Mouse control over several computers, etc.

[Blokus]

Yeah. What Wilbur said!

[keyclone]

so... are you guys saying to add a maximizer AND a synergy capability to keyclone??

[Wilbur]

That would be ideal. Expanded capabilities to do everything a Multiboxer needs gets TWO thumbs up from me :-)
