-# Lan Mouse Share
-Goal of this project is to be an open-source replacement for proprietary tools like [Synergy](https://symless.com/synergy), [Share Mouse](https://www.sharemouse.com/de/).
+# Lan Mouse
+Lan Mouse is a mouse and keyboard sharing software similar to universal-control on Apple devices.
+It allows for using multiple pcs with a single set of mouse and keyboard.
+This is also known as a Software KVM switch.
+
+The primary target is Wayland on Linux but Windows and MacOS and Linux on Xorg have partial support as well (see below for more details).
+

+Goal of this project is to be an open-source replacement for proprietary tools like [Synergy 2/3](https://symless.com/synergy), [Share Mouse](https://www.sharemouse.com/de/).
 
 Focus lies on performance and a clean, manageable implementation that can easily be expanded to support additional backends like e.g. Android, iOS, ... .
 
-Of course ***blazingly fast™*** and stable, because it's written in rust.
+***blazingly fast™*** because it's written in rust.
 
 For an alternative (with slightly different goals) you may check out [Input Leap](https://github.com/input-leap).
 
-## Configuration
-Configuration is done through the file `config.toml`,
-which must be located in the current working directory when
-executing lan-mouse.
 
-### Example config
-A minimal config file could look like this:
+> [!WARNING]
+> Since this tool has gained a bit of popularity over the past couple of days:
+>
+> All network traffic is currently **unencrypted** and sent in **plaintext**.
+>
+> A malicious actor with access to the network could read input data or send input events with spoofed IPs to take control over a device.
+>
+> Therefore you should only use this tool in your local network with trusted devices for now
+> and I take no responsibility for any leakage of data!
 
-```toml
-[left]
-host_name = "my-laptop"
+
+## OS Support
+
+The following table shows support for input emulation (to emulate events received from other clients) and
+input capture (to send events *to* other clients) on different operating systems:
+
+| Backend                   | input emulation          | input capture                        |
+|---------------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------------------|
+| Wayland (wlroots)         | :heavy_check_mark:       | :heavy_check_mark:                   |
+| Wayland (KDE)             | :heavy_check_mark:       | :heavy_check_mark:                   |
+| Wayland (Gnome)           | :heavy_check_mark:       | WIP                                  |

+
+> [!Important]
+> If you are using [Wayfire](https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire), make sure to use a recent version (must be newer than October 23rd) and **add `shortcuts-inhibit` to the list of plugins in your wayfire config!**
+> Otherwise input capture will not work.
+
+## Installation
+
+### Download from Releases
+The easiest way to install Lan Mouse is to download precompiled release binaries from the [releases section](https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse/releases).
+
+For Windows, the depenedencies are included in the .zip file, for other operating systems see [Installing Dependencies](#installing-dependencies).
+
+### Arch Linux
+Lan Mouse is available on the AUR:
+```sh
+# git version (includes latest changes)
+paru -S lan-mouse-git
+
+# alternatively
+paru -S lan-mouse-bin
 ```
 
-Where `left` can be either `left`, `right`, `top` or `bottom`.
 
+### Building from Source
 
-### Additional options
-Additionally
-- a preferred backend
-- a port override for the default port (4242)
-
-can be specified.
-
-Supported backends currently include "wlroots", "x11" and "windows".
-
-These two options can also be specified via the commandline
-options `--backend` and `--port` respectively.
-
-## Build and Run
-Build only
+Build in release mode:
 ```sh
 cargo build --release
 ```
 
-Run
+Run directly:
 ```sh
 cargo run --release
 ```
 
+Install the files:
+```sh
+# install lan-mouse
+sudo cp target/release/lan-mouse /usr/local/bin/

-## Wayland compositor support
-### Input Emulation (for receiving events)
-On wayland input-emulation is in an early/unstable state as of writing this.
-
-Different compositors have different ways of enabling input emulation:
-
-Most wlroots-based compositors like Hyprland and Sway support the following
-unstable wayland protocols for keyboard and mouse emulation:
-- [virtual-keyboard-unstable-v1](https://wayland.app/protocols/virtual-keyboard-unstable-v1)
-- [wlr-virtual-pointer-unstable-v1](https://wayland.app/protocols/wlr-virtual-pointer-unstable-v1) are used to emulate input on wlroots compositors
-
-KDE also has a protocol for input emulation ([kde-fake-input](https://wayland.app/protocols/kde-fake-input)), it is however not exposed to
-third party apps, so the recommended way of enabling input emulation in KDE is the
-[freedesktop remote-desktop-portal](https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#gdbus-org.freedesktop.portal.RemoteDesktop).
-
-Gnome uses [libei](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libei) for input emulation,
-which has the goal to become the general approach for emulating Input on wayland.
-

-### Input capture
-
-To capture mouse and keyboard input, a few things are necessary:
-- Displaying an immovable surface at screen edges
-- Locking the mouse in place
-- (optionally but highly recommended) reading unaccelerated mouse input

-
-The [zwlr\_virtual\_pointer\_manager\_v1](wlr-virtual-pointer-unstable-v1) is required
-to display surfaces on screen edges and used to display the immovable window on
-both wlroots based compositors and KDE.
-
-Gnome unfortunately does not support this protocol
-and [likely won't ever support it](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/1141).
-
-So there is currently no way of doing this in Wayland, aside from a custom Gnome-Shell
-extension, which is not a very elegant solution.
-
-This is to be looked into in the future.
-
-~In order for layershell surfaces to be able to lock the pointer using the pointer\_constraints protocol [this patch](https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/7178) needs to be applied to sway.~
-(this works natively on sway versions >= 1.8)
-
-## Windows support
-Currently windows can receive mouse and keyboard events, however unlike
-with the wlroots back-end,
-
-the scancodes are not translated between keyboard layouts.
-
-Event emitting is WIP.
+For a detailed list of available features, checkout the [Cargo.toml](./Cargo.toml)

+#### Macos
+```sh
+brew install libadwaita
+```
+
+#### Ubuntu and derivatives
+```sh
+sudo apt install libadwaita-1-dev libgtk-4-dev libx11-dev libxtst-dev
+```
+
+#### Arch and derivatives
+```sh
+sudo pacman -S libadwaita gtk libx11 libxtst
+```
+
+#### Fedora and derivatives
+```sh
+sudo dnf install libadwaita-devel libXtst-devel libX11-devel
+```
+
+#### Windows
+> [!NOTE]
+> This is only necessary when building lan-mouse from source. The windows release comes with precompiled gtk dlls.
+
+Follow the instructions at [gtk-rs.org](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk4-rs/stable/latest/book/installation_windows.html)
+
+*TLDR:*
+
+Build gtk from source
+
+- The following commands should be run in an admin power shell instance:
+```sh
+# install chocolatey
+Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
+
+# install python 3.11 (Version is important, as 3.12 does not work currently)
+choco install python --version=3.11.0
+
+# install git
+choco install git
+
+# install msys2
+choco install msys2
+
+# install Visual Studio 2022
+choco install visualstudio2022-workload-vctools
+```
+
+- The following commands should be run in a regular power shell instance:
+
+```sh
+# install gvsbuild with python
+python -m pip install --user pipx
+python -m pipx ensurepath
+pipx install gvsbuild
+
+# build gtk + libadwaita
+gvsbuild build gtk4 libadwaita librsvg
+```
+
+Make sure to add the directory `C:\gtk-build\gtk\x64\release\bin`
+[to the `PATH` environment variable]((https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/sharepoint-2010/ee537574(v=office.14))). Otherwise the project will fail to build.
+
+To avoid building GTK from source, it is possible to disable
+the gtk frontend (see conditional compilation below).
+
+## Usage
+### Gtk Frontend
+By default the gtk frontend will open when running `lan-mouse`.
+
+To add a new connection, simply click the `Add` button on *both* devices,
+enter the corresponding hostname and activate it.
+
+If the mouse can not be moved onto a device, make sure you have port `4242` (or the one selected)
+opened up in your firewall.
+
+### Command Line Interface
+The cli interface can be enabled using `--frontend cli` as commandline arguments.
+Type `help` to list the available commands.
+
+E.g.:
+```sh
+$ cargo run --release -- --frontend cli
+(...)
+> connect <host> left|right|top|bottom
+(...)
+> list
+(...)
+> activate 0
+```
+
+### Daemon
+Lan Mouse can be launched in daemon mode to keep it running in the background.
+To do so, add `--daemon` to the commandline args:
+
+```sh
+$ cargo run --release -- --daemon
+```
+
+In order to start lan-mouse with a graphical session automatically,
+the [systemd-service](service/lan-mouse.service) can be used:
+
+Copy the file to `~/.config/systemd/user/` and enable the service:
+
+```sh
+cp service/lan-mouse.service ~/.config/systemd/user
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+systemctl --user enable --now lan-mouse.service
+```
+
+## Configuration
+To automatically load clients on startup, the file `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lan-mouse/config.toml` is parsed.
+`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` defaults to `~/.config/`.
+
+To create this file you can copy the following example config:
+
+### Example config
+
+```toml
+# example configuration
+
+# optional port (defaults to 4242)
+port = 4242
+# # optional frontend -> defaults to gtk if available
+# # possible values are "cli" and "gtk" 
+# frontend = "gtk"
+
+# define a client on the right side with host name "iridium"
+[right]
+# hostname
+hostname = "iridium"
+# activate this client immediately when lan-mouse is started
+activate_on_startup = true
+# optional list of (known) ip addresses
+ips = ["192.168.178.156"]
+
+# define a client on the left side with IP address 192.168.178.189
+[left]
+# The hostname is optional: When no hostname is specified,
+# at least one ip address needs to be specified.
+hostname = "thorium"
+# ips for ethernet and wifi
+ips = ["192.168.178.189", "192.168.178.172"]
+# optional port
+port = 4242
+```
+
+Where `left` can be either `left`, `right`, `top` or `bottom`.
+

 Sending key and mouse event data over the local network might not be the biggest security concern but in any public network or business environment it's *QUITE* a problem to basically broadcast your keystrokes.
 - There should be an encryption layer below the application to enable a secure link.
 - The encryption keys could be generated by the graphical frontend.
