# Lan Mouse [WIP]
|
|
Goal of this project is to be an open-source replacement for tools like [Synergy](https://symless.com/synergy) or [Share Mouse](https://www.sharemouse.com/de/) on wayland compositors.
|
|
|
|
## Very much alpha state
|
|
The protocol used for the virtual mouse driver is currently unstable and only supported by wlroots:
|
|
[wlr-virtual-pointer-unstable-v1](wlr-virtual-pointer-unstable-v1)
|
|
|
|
Currently the mouse moves in a circle when receiving a(ny) udp packet on port 42069.
|
|
|
|
## TODOS:
|
|
- [x] Capture the actual mouse events on the server side via a wayland client and send them to the client
|
|
- [ ] Mouse grabbing on some 1 pixel wide transparent window server side
|
|
- [ ] Merge server and client
|
|
- [ ] Keyboard support
|
|
- [ ] Scrollwheel and button support
|
|
- [ ] Clipboard support
|
|
- [ ] Graphical frontend (gtk?)
|
|
|
|
## Security
|
|
Sending key and mouse event data over the local network might not be the biggest security concern but in any public network it's QUITE a problem to basically broadcast your keystrokes.
|
|
- There should probably be an encryption layer using DTLS below the application to enable a secure link
|
|
- The keys could be generated via the graphical frontend
