# Looking Glass Client
This is the Looking Glass client application that is designed to work in tandem with the Looking Glass Host application
---
## Building the Application
### Build Dependencies
* binutils-dev
* cmake
* fonts-freefont-ttf
* libsdl2-dev
* libsdl2-ttf-dev
* libspice-protocol-dev
* libfontconfig1-dev
* libx11-dev
* nettle-dev
* libxss-dev
* libxi-dev
#### Debian (and maybe Ubuntu)
apt-get install binutils-dev cmake fonts-freefont-ttf libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libspice-protocol-dev libfontconfig1-dev libx11-dev nettle-dev libxss-dev libxi-dev
### Building
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
Should this all go well you should be left with the file `looking-glass-client`
### Removing Wayland or X11 support
Wayland and/or X11 support can be disabled with the compile options
`ENABLE_WAYLAND=NO` and `ENABLE_X11=NO`. It is an error to disable both backends.
cmake ../ -DENABLE_WAYLAND=OFF
---
## Usage Tips
### Key Bindings
By default Looking Glass uses the `Scroll Lock` key as the escape key for commands as well as the input capture mode toggle, this can be changed using the `-m` switch if you desire a different key.
Below are a list of current key bindings:
| Command | Description |
|-|-|
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd> | Toggle cursor screen capture |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>F</kbd> | Full Screen toggle |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>V</kbd> | Video stream toggle |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>I</kbd> | Spice keyboard & mouse enable toggle |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>N</kbd> | Toggle night vision mode (EGL renderer only!) |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>R</kbd> | Rotate the output clockwise by 90 degree increments |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>Q</kbd> | Quit |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>Insert</kbd> | Increase mouse sensitivity (in capture mode only) |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>Del</kbd> | Decrease mouse sensitivity (in capture mode only) |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>F1</kbd> | Send <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F1</kbd> to the guest |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>F2</kbd> | Send <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F2</kbd> to the guest |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>F3</kbd> | Send <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F3</kbd> to the guest |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>F4</kbd> | Send <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F4</kbd> to the guest |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>F5</kbd> | Send <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F5</kbd> to the guest |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>F6</kbd> | Send <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F6</kbd> to the guest |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>F7</kbd> | Send <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F7</kbd> to the guest |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>F8</kbd> | Send <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F8</kbd> to the guest |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>F9</kbd> | Send <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F9</kbd> to the guest |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>F10</kbd> | Send <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F10</kbd> to the guest |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>F11</kbd> | Send <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F11</kbd> to the guest |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>F12</kbd> | Send <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F12</kbd> to the guest |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>LWin</kbd> | Send <kbd>LWin</kbd> to the guest |
| <kbd>ScrLk</kbd>+<kbd>RWin</kbd> | Send <kbd>RWin</kbd> to the guest |
### Setting options via command line arguments
The syntax is simple: `module:name=value`, for example:
./looking-glass-client win:fullScreen=yes egl:nvGain=1
### Setting options via configuration files
By default the application will look for and load the config files in the following locations
* /etc/looking-glass-client.ini
* ~/.looking-glass-client.ini
The format of this file is the commonly known INI format, for example:
[win]
fullScreen=yes
[egl]
nvGain=1
Command line arguments will override any options loaded from the config files.
