The stupid things we do......
« on: July 19, 2020, 04:10:39 pm »
Hi all,

It's becoming somewhat a habit.....I have 3 monitors on my Win10 workshop PC, I have my phone off to the left on a stand and an Ipad mounted above one of the monitors.

The thing is, I find myself moving the Win10 mouse in the direction of the Ipad or phone if I want to do something there.........DUH!

Anyone else?

Ian.

I use a company-issued touchscreen-equipped laptop, a private touchscreen laptop, external non-touch monitor, smartphone and a tablet on a daily basis. I keep trying to poke things on my non-touchscreen external monitor, usually realizing my mistake halfway through, stopping my outstretched finger in mid-air.

I do have an oscilloscope off to the side of my PC. But i instead made that work

Its a scope running an embedded PC with windows, so i installed Synergy on it and put it into my LAN. Now i can move my cursor off the last screen and get onto the scope screen to click stuff around. The Synergy software communicates the mouse and keyboard presses over the network and executes them there. On top of it all it also mirrors the clipboard over. So i can just go to the scope, press PrintScr, go back to the PC and paste the screenshot into whatever.
