KMremoteControl - Overview
|
If you have more than one system on your desk, , and ...
- you'd like to always use your preferred keyboard* and mouse
- you'd like more usable space on your desk
- you're tired of constantly shuffling back and forth between systems
- your systems all have monitors and you can see all the monitors
 ... then KMremoteControl is for you!
*Currently, there is no special support for International keyboards.
Think about it ...
LCD monitors have become real inexpensive (find good deals)
... so why waste time futzing with a KVM switch
Just get another monitor and use KMremoteControl ... much more useful!
Got Mac ... Got Mac and "mini-Mac"?

Comment/Review by X (Rates as 4/5 stars)

Features
|
KMremoteControl has the following features and capabilities:
- use the keyboard* and mouse on one system to "remote control" other systems
- remote controlling another system is quickly activated/deactivated via a "hotkey"
- you define the hotkey you prefer
- the hotkey acts as a "toggle" to both activate, then deactivate the "remote controlling"
- options can enable "activate and show"/"deactivate and hide" to keep KMremoteControl available, but out of the way when it's not in use
- remote controlling another system can be activated/deactivated via "edge-detection"
- you define the physical arrangement of your systems
- hitting the screen edge with the mouse pointer acts as a "toggle" to both activate, then deactivate the "remote controlling" (won't de-activate on PC)
- provides platform-based authentication
- you configure whether a system requires authentication to be remotely controlled (required by default)
- uses the normal Windows and OS X login mechanisms
- requires no additional user-account setup/maintenance
- encrypts your login password before sending over the network
(a later release will support secure/SSL communications)
- secure communications, via SSL, can be used for all communications
- helps you authenticate on the system being controlled
- during a session, remembers the login and password so multiple activations with the same controlled system are "painless" and quicker
- when using a Mac OS X platform to remote control, uses the Keychain to store and supply passwords for all your controlled systems
- setup and operation is easy and operation is capable but understandable
- follow the simple installation and setup instructions in the ReadMe
- no need to learn a bunch of terms like server, client, and host
- sytems can be remote controlled after restarts
- the networking port number can be changed to avoid conflicts
- some other networking attributes are also adjustable
- supports the use of "hotkeys" (e.g., application switcher keys) on the system being controlled
- supports single-button mouse operation when controlling by allowing a right-mouse to be sent instead of a control-click
- KMremoteControl's windows can be made transparent when controlling or the controlling system's screen can be blackened when controlling
- when used in conjunction with ClipCommControl, will automatically synchronize clipboards when operating between systems
*Currently, there is no special support for International keyboards.
And don't worry ... although KMremoteControl needs your system to be connected to a network, we'll take care of the rest:
- you don't need to understand concepts like "servers" and "clients" and "hosts" ... oh my! (we don't use these terms)
- you don't have to be a "geek" to get it working
(but, of course, fellow "geeks" will also find it easy)
