At one time I needed to work on two computers at the same time, but at the same time I only had a mouse and keyboard in one set. Then I solved my problem using a physical KVM, but I could have done with a simple utility.

For example, [**Lan Mouse**](https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse), which is available for Windows, Linux, and Intel macOS and is a virtual analogue of KVM that runs over the network. To do this, you are required to launch the client on the desired computer and connect to it from a computer that has a mouse and keyboard.

By default, the utility works on port 4242, but it can be changed in the settings file.
