That’s why you have eyes in the panel.
I had a similar matrix of screens at my old job: Seismic survey observer desk. Three rows tall, four columns wide.
They weren’t all connected to the same PC, though; If I remember correctly:
- Top row was one PC (linux)
- Middle row was another (linux)
- Bottom left was its own PC (It ran msdos 6.22. Excellent OS for realtime stuff!)
- Bottom right was its own (linux)
- middle two at the bottom was windows.
They were all connected to a Raritan KVM switch, so I used that to select which row to control. The exception was on bottom left and bottom right which had a dedicated keyboard and mouse.
I have a picture of it somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it.
you’d love synergy. it’s a client you install on multiple devices and allows you to share one keyboard and mouse across as many devices as you want.
you can even share the clipboard too.
Bottom left was its own PC (It ran msdos 6.22. Excellent OS for realtime stuff!)
really? I used 6.22 back in the day - what’s it still being used for these days?
I now undestand whom that KDE cursor is for?
And people rib me for having 3 screens. Yes yes, tell me how much cancer they are giving me per square second.
KDE: just wiggle it
wiggle it until it’s the size of a monitor, and if you’re brave, it’ll take over EVERYTHING.
I love it that KDE didn’t limit the growing of it :)
i still do this for fun about once a week or so
One of the few features that I’m missing from niri :')

There’s no way he ever looks at the top row.
Having worked with such setups before, yes the top row is used, infrequently but watched
I’m confused… Cursor? Surely you control everything via keyboard?
ditch the rat
What is this activity you call "looking for my cursor?
On my computer, I summon my cursor.
This ad is brought to you by the Cursor Follows Focus Gang
for real though, the CTRL tap accessibility feature to find the cursor is a lifesaver
On KDE and on MacOS, if you shake the cursor it becomes larger
And larger…and larger…
Only in KDE, and i think now we can limit that in settings
No lying, wiggling my mouse until it becomes HUGE is my go to activity during boring video calls.
Try putting it on the speaker’s nose and jiggling.
Thats why i also have a thinkpad
I guess this confirms that I am a man, because I refuse to do anything except jiggle the mouse until I see it.
Am woman, learned today you can use CTRL to find it as I too wiggle it until I find it.
that’s what she said!
right-click and see where a menu opens.
