![]() Unfortunately, you can’t drag-and-drop application windows like browser windows. You can also enable drag-and-drop, which lets you drag one or multiple files (documents, images, videos) from one monitor and drop them to the other – yes, you can drag files from Windows to Mac and vice versa (or just copy and paste them). There are many cool options in the preferences window, such as the ability to dim the inactive monitor and set the amount of dimming that should be applied. Once you’re done with the Monitor Manager, click on the “Settings” button in the bottom right corner of the window so that you can customize other things like: monitor switching, sharing options, key mapping, network settings, online updates, and security. ![]() All you have to do is drag-and-drop the monitors according to how they’re set up on your desk.Ĥ.

That means I can go back and forth from my PC monitor to my Macbook Pro screen and vice versa, all while using the single mouse and keyboard (connected to my Windows PC). Work around: Disable "auto-submit" feature of any auto-login feature and/or close and restart the application, that caused the interference.Share Mouse is a cool application that lets you share your mouse and keyboard with multiple networked computers. If this would be possible, also malware would make use of such remote disabling, making the security feature "Secure Input" obsolete. This not an error in ShareMouse and ShareMouse has no way to remotely disable "Secure Input". Unfortunately, some applications do not to seem to release "Secure Input" rendering any subsequent text input invisible for 3rd party apps, including ShareMouse. To review, which application is using "Secure Input", open the Terminal App and enter the command "ioreg -l -w 0 | grep SecureInput" (without ""), followed by ENTER. For example, the Safari browser is enabling "Secure Input" in password input fields. This feature is activated by the program, that receives the text input and it has to be disabled by the same program after data entry.

Please refer to the documentation of such security program and take proper action to release the file essentially required by ShareMouse.īackground information: ShareMouse requires a software hook to read the mouse and keyboard input. Such programs have a "quarantine feature" which puts such files on hold. If it doesn't exist, please check if an “Antivirus” or “AntiSpyware” software may may falsely interpret it as a malicious keylogger and block accessing this. Please check, if the file exist in file directory " C:\Program Files (x86)\ShareMouse\smkey.dll".
