Press Scroll Lock on the keyboard of the computer you are sitting at. The mouse and keyboard come back to that computer at once, whatever is happening on the other one.
No Scroll Lock key? Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Backspace together. It does the same.
What the keys do
- The pointer is on another computer: it comes back to the computer where you pressed.
- Another computer is using this one: this computer is taken back, and the other one is kept away for 30 seconds.
- Someone is looking at this screen: the viewing stops.
- Control over the internet is on: it ends at once.
- Something is on its way to the clipboard: it does not land.
The keys count only from the keyboard that is plugged into that computer. A person at another computer cannot press them for you.
They keep working after the trial ends, and with no license.
Try them before you start working
- Move the pointer to the other computer.
- Press Scroll Lock on the keyboard of the computer you are sitting at. The pointer comes back.
- Move the pointer across again.
- Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Backspace. The pointer comes back.
Do this once on each computer, so that you know both ways work on your keyboards.
Other ways to get the mouse and keyboard back
- Right-click the BukDesk icon by the clock and turn off "Bridge".
- Unplug the network cable or turn off Wi-Fi. When the computers lose each other, the mouse and keyboard return by themselves.
If a key does not work
- A very cheap keyboard may not pick up four keys at once. Use Scroll Lock on it, or the icon by the clock.
- If neither way works, write to us at main@bukdesk.com and say which keyboard you have. This matters more to us than any other report.
