This makes dealing with window manager shortcuts that overlap with guest keys more pleasant, while retaining the previous functionality for users who prefer it. For instance, previously, using Alt+Tab (or $mod as Alt in i3/sway movement commands) would result in the guest retaining Alt as pressed. When the guest regained focus, it would continue thinking Alt is pressed, leading to accidentally triggering obscure shortcuts. One had to remember to press Alt again to "unstick" things, which was suboptimal.

# 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` and `ENABLE_X11`, if both are specified only `SDL2` will remain
|
|
and the client will fallback to using it.
|
|
|
|
cmake ../ -DENABLE_WAYLAND=OFF
|
|
|
|
At this time, X11 is the perferred and best supported interface. Wayland is not
|
|
far behind, however it lacks some of the seamless interaction features that X11
|
|
has due to the lack of cursor warp (programmatic movement of the local cusror) on
|
|
Wayland.

## 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 |

|
|

|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
