kinto

Kinto.sh - Mac-style shortcut keys for Linux & Windows. - Seamless copy and paste with all apps and terminals. The zero effort solution. v1.2 Release - Kinto now includes a system tray and simple wizard to setup the install with minimal effort. Kinto is powered by xkeysnail for Linux & by Autohotkey for Windows 10 & 11. Note: VNC is now experimentally supported on Linux w/ the latest releases, but you must compile & install x11vnc. More info can be found here. Note: If you plan to remote into Linux via VNC, xRDP, Synergy or other remote desktop solutions then remove the current release & try an earlier v1.0.7-3 release. It uses xkb so it'll work with virtual xinput devices. Some v1.1-x releases may offer both, but all v1.2.x releases ended support for xkb. I do plan to bring offical support back for virtual input devices. Table of Contents Donations If you like or appreciate this project then please consider donating.

How to install (Linux) Video Tutorial: Install Kinto.sh for Linux in less than a minute Linux Requirements Quick Install Method Paste the following into your Terminal /bin/bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rbreaves/kinto/HEAD/install/linux.sh || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rbreaves/kinto/HEAD/install/linux.sh)" Uninstall /bin/bash <( wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rbreaves/kinto/HEAD/install/linux.sh || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rbreaves/kinto/HEAD/install/linux.sh ) -r Old Install Method git clone https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto.git cd kinto sudo apt update sudo apt install python3 ./setup.py Troubleshoot If the wizard does not appear then either type in "kinto.sh" in your application overview search bar or run this following command. ~/.config/kinto/gui/kinto-gui.py Issues with Numpad? Try toggling numlock on & off (clear key on official mac keyboards). If it still does not work then restart the Kinto service and try toggling the numlock/clear key again, it will likely work after that. #369 Uninstall Kinto ./setup.py -r Other tips If you want a global menu app similar to what mac users have then I strongly recommend Ubuntu Budgie as it has the Vala Appmenu built in and ready for activation. Short of that Vala-AppMenu can be installed in various distros, mileage will vary. If you try to activate it in the latest 20.xx releases with XFCE then you may need to run the following commands. sudo apt install xfce4-appmenu-plugin vala-panel-appmenu-common appmenu-gtk2-module appmenu-gtk3-module appmenu-gtk-module-common xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/Modules -n -t string -s "appmenu-gtk-module" Fractional HiDPI Scaling for Gnome/Budgie w/ x11 https://github.com/rbreaves/betterScale Use this with autorandr to save your settings as a profile that will auto re-apply when needed.

RDP had been working for awhile with Windows but as of 2/14/2021 Linux & macOS is now supported. VNC & other protocols may work, but is likely most dependent on how the keyboard input is captured on the computer running the client. Program Src/Remote Client ⇒ Dst/Remote Server Works?
