Networked usage #21
Description
Look more into how it can be used over a network for cross-machine usage. A few use cases come to mind:
- Sharing one monitor across two machines, maybe run screenstub on a docked laptop sharing screens with a PC.
- Synergy-style remote control without a shared display - allocate an unused section of the screen?
- Interface with a native Windows machine instead of requiring QEMU.
A few improvements could be made:
- Allow TCP and other transports to be configured for QMP/QGA rather than requiring a unix socket path
- socat can be used to get around this for now by proxying the connection
- SSH X and socket forwarding also covers some of this as well
- SPICE support might allow you to run an agent on a native Windows machine to proxy input events
- Use global hotkeys to capture and release input without requiring the window to be used as a stub
