- Input-leap (Unofficial)
- Synergy-Core (Unofficial)
Warning
This formula is currently not intended to be run on Linux and will likely error out!
This is an unofficial tap for Input Leap, a fork of the Barrier project from its active maintainers. Barrier is, in turn, a fork of the old Synergy project after it went closed source. It allows you to do keyboard/mouse sharing across multiple computers without the need for a KVM or USB switch.
As the Input Leap maintainers have been busy working on modernizing the codebase, more and more folks seem to be looking for various ways to install it ahead of an official re-release. Packaging is available on the AUR (see input-leap-git and input-leap-headless-git), but seemingly not much else.
This is an AUR-like tap that will allow you to build and run the Input Leap application on MacOS.
- MacOS Sierra minimum.
- You have to have XCode installed (not just the command-line tools. Homebrew will also remind you of this).
All other dependencies are handled by Homebrew itself in the formula.
Run brew tap dlozynski/tools and then brew install input-leap.
Make sure to heed the caveats when you install, notably the app location and the
accessibility permission oddities. As this is not a cask, we can't automatically
install this to /Applications.
You will need to access the InputLeap.app directly from:
#{opt_prefix}/InputLeap.app
Run this at least once to properly register accessibility
permissions before using the CLI tools.
If your run into an accessibility permissions loop, try
running:
tccutil reset Accessibility input-leap
This will reset your accessibility permissions; running the app
again should then correctly grant it.
The command-line binaries input-leapc (client) and input-leaps
(server) have been linked and should be available from your
PATH.
Man pages have also been installed, and you will be able to find
config file examples in:
#{HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/share/doc/input-leap
