• Dual Computer Battlestations? Good idea? Bad idea?

  For the win8 tablet, I wanted to use it as an extra monitor but none of the normal options for doing it was working, so what I use now is Input Director. If you want to use multiple computers with dedicated screens per computer, this is the way! It allows you to control any of the running machines with the same mouse and keyboard by simply moving your mouse over to the corresponding screen. There are quite a few... Source: 12 months ago

• Easily switch between work and personal PC?

  There are various software solutions (eg.: Input Directorbut using a proper hardware switch is most likely the better option. And there are always the remote desktop options…. Source: almost 2 years ago

• WFH Gamers that use KVM/USB Switch, what do you use?

  I have a 3 PC home setup, so, like you, I didn't need to worry about monitors for my switching solution. First off, I HIGHLY recommend Input Director (Windows only) or other software KVM for the keyboard and mouse. No hitting a button and waiting a couple of seconds, and you can even copy/paste text between the machines. Source: over 2 years ago

• Not exactly a cyberDeck, but this is what I have. VAIO VGN-P21ZR.

• Learn AutoHotKey by stealing my scripts

  I use AutoKey on Linux. It's less powerful than AHK but uses native Python which is nice: https://github.com/autokey/autokey. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D: Windows 11 vs. Ubuntu 23.04 Linux Performance

  On Linux, the more direct equivalent to AHK is the similarly named AutoKey. AHK itself is never going to be cross-platform, due to the low-level it interacts specifically with Windows, but AutoKey is the Linux equivalent, designed to interact low-level with Linux in a similar way to AHK on Windows.

• Text expansion app for Linux

• Ergonomic lefty for Chromebook, with a good middle-click?

  You can also try remapping mouse buttons. I use autohotkey to remap the middle clock to the right click. Autohotkey is windows only, but there is autokey which might help if you are a heavy middle click user like me. Source: about 1 year ago

• Macros for Linux? Like autoit, or automated mouse/keyboard presses.

  There's also Autokey, not Wayland compatible though. Source: about 1 year ago
