# Input Leap
This overlay has a working, updated version of Input Leap, a fork of
Barrier (itself a fork of Synergy), which is a "virtual KVM switch",
allowing you to share a keyboard and mouse between several computers
over the network.
The most important things about Input Leap:
- Maintained.
- Supports Wayland.
## Project Status
Input Leap is technically alpha quality, because it does not yet have a
stable release. Thus, the ebuild is a `9999` version ebuild.
## Setup
To use this overlay's version of Input Leap, unmask the following packages:
```
dev-libs/libportal::projectmoon
x11-misc/input-leap::projectmoon
```
Then add the package accept keywords:
```
dev-libs/libportal::projectmoon
x11-misc/input-leap::projectmoon **
```
*The double star allows unstable git builds.*
## USE Flags
This ebuild of Input Leap supports Wayland integration via `libei`, onb
supported compositors (notably, wlroots is apparently not supported by
upstream). To use the `libei` integration, you must have a version of
`libportal` with Input Capture support, which at time of writing
(libportal 0.7.1) is not yet released.
This overlay contains a custom ebuild of `dev-libs/libportal` that can
enable Input Capture.
To configure Input Leap to use `libei` for Wayland support, add the
following USE declarations:
```
dev-libs/libportal inputcapture
x11-misc/input-leap libei
```
Note that `inputcapture` is NOT a USE flag on the main Gentoo ebuild. So
if you haven't unmasked this overlay's version of `libportal`, you will
receive an error when trying to install Input Leap.
