Feature Request

Operating Systems

All

Client: Any Client

Barrier Version

Any version in the future

Other info

It'd be nice to have a feature to allow for the mouse to "wrap around" the screens so if i move my mouse to the opposite side of the screen to where i entered the client I could have the mouse return to the server and be on the wrapped side. Even though ShareMouse wasn't very good, I did like that feature.

This is possible already, I work with this feature every day.
Just configure the client on both sides of the server and the server on both sides of the client.

Have a look at my config:

section: screens
    servername:
    clientname:
end
section: links
    servername:
        left = clientname
        right = clientname
    clientname:
        right = servername
        left = servername
end

section: options
    keystroke(control+<) = switchInDirection(right)
end

I just tried that and I keep getting launch errors "duplicate client"

Where do you get this error?
Just to assure you got this right: the config above is the server sided config only. It is launched like this: barriers --config path/to/config.conf
The client is launched like this "C:/Program Files/Barrier/barrierc.exe" -f --debug INFO --name myclientname --ipc --enable-drag-drop --profile-dir "C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Barrier" [serverip]:24800

I can confirm this 'work around' is working. I saved my existing config edited it and then started pointing to the new config. Seems fine.
