AHK on separate computer

Post by Allen » Wed Mar 27, 2019 8:02 am

Anyone who can help,

Has anyone used AHK to control Condor in a 'two computer' scenario? That is, the main computer running Condor, and the AHK controlling software running on another separate computer which is also running the cockpit instruments. Is it possible to program mouse movements and clicks on a separate computer using AHK? Obviously the computer are linked by Ethernet or serial data.
Can it be done using RDP?

All help gratefully received,

Many thanks,

Allen

Should be possible using this:
https://www.inputdirector.com/

Its like Synergy but seems a lot more flexible. A few notable features:

Mirror input - Broadcast mouse gestures and/or keyboard input to all computers simultaneously
Keyboard macros - record a sequence of keystrokes that can then be run by hotkey. Macros can be broadcast to all computers, played on the system being controlled, or tied to a particular computer
Key bindings - permanently bind a key to another key on a specified system
