Hello, all.
Here’s an idea in case someone wants to run
with it.
I might even do it, except that there are
a couple of pieces of critical info I don’t
have.
I’m using a KVM switcher between my Linux box
and my Windows box.
I’m constantly finding that I want to cut-and-
paste from one to the other. (Psychologically
it “seems” I should be able to do this, because
the keyboard/monitor.mouse are shared – even
though my brain knows better.)
Assuming only two machines, I’d like a little
app that would (in each case) copy the clipboard
contents to the other machine on demand. Probably
add an extra step making it manual, since we don’t
always want to keep the clipboards in sync.
(Something similar to the way Exceed handles C&P
would be acceptable, though I find that interface
a little clunky.)
Writing a little druby app for the communication
would be easy. Especially if you could live without
a GUI.
I don’t know how to manipulate the clipboard at
all, though, neither on the Windows nor Linux
sides. And on the Linux side, I don’t even know
if it’s an X issue or GNOME or KDE or what.
Just another random thought.
