Simple keyboard forwarder written in Python 3.
Use with caution: it's written in 2 hours, so code is pretty shitty. Tested only on macOS server and Linux client.
There is no encryption, so use it in local network only!
There also are some hard-coded things: auto layout change works on macOS only (and only with cmd+space shortcut) and for Russian only.
F13 is also hardcoded as an activation key.
Server — computer with keyboard.
Client — computer where you want to forward keys to.
git clone https://github.com/RankoR/input-forwarder.git
cd input-forwarder
virtualenv -p python3 venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txtpython client.py --ip 192.168.1.2 --port 31337 --verboseOptions:
--ip: IP address to listen on--port: Port to listen on--verbose: Optional, for verbose logs (for debugging purposes only)
python server.py --client-ip 192.168.1.2 --client-port 31337 --correct-invalid-layout --verbose Options:
--client-ip: IP address of the client--client-port: Port of the client--correct-invalid-layout: Switch layout if it's incorrect (see warnings above)--verbose: Optional, for verbose logs (for debugging purposes only)
Then press F13 to turn on or turn off forwarding.
