Switch Virtual Desktops in Windows Using the Mouse Wheel

Simple KVM lets you control multiple PCs from one mouse, keyboard and monitor(s). It is similar to Haimgel's display-switch (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29608967), but it provides a GUI which hopefully makes it a bit easier to set up. It also supports hotkeys which effectively lets you alt+tab between computers. I was surprised by the star-to-download ratio (55:400) on GitHub, so I thought I'd post it here as it might be useful to someone. Feedback welcome! Thanks, Fidel

Hello, my name is Andrew. I'm an indie developer and I'm excited to release Smart Switcher for Windows 10/11. I'm looking for feedback on the overall project and the application itself. I built this because I couldn't find a window switching/management solution that worked for me. I tried all kinds of different solutions, virtual desktop extensions, obscure GUI window managers, you name it. Overtime I realized I wanted something that prioritizes one window at a time, is keyboard driven with has minimal if no GUI elements. I figured this part out, but knew something was missing. I…

https://github.com/iondodon/i3-switcher-x11 The i3wm Alt+Tab Workspace Switcher is a tool designed to bring the familiar Alt+Tab window switching functionality to the i3 window manager environment. It aims to enhance productivity by enabling users to switch between workspaces efficiently and intuitively, mimicking the window switching feature found in traditional desktop environments like Windows. In my experience, using the $mod+workspace number to switch workspaces feels slower. I suspect this might be because I process visual cues more quickly than I recall specific…

Hi HN, Francesco from Cua here. I hacked this project together last weekend, inspired by the Codex Computer-Use release and lessons learned from deploying GUI-operating agents for our customers. The main problem: when a UI automation process controls a desktop app today, it usually takes over the human’s session. Your cursor moves, keyboard focus gets stolen, windows jump to the front, and you have to stop working until the agent is done. That is why we have historically avoided encouraging users to run these processes directly on their host machine, instead relying on VMs or GUI containers…
