Its stupid to not allow to get back from linux because you are depending on InputCapture to be enabled, you can have a workaround setting a command line handler for returning back, and setting up an xbindkeys binding to call that one.
Anyway even if its really nice in performance, i cant use it because it "spams" some buttons like cntrl, tab, alt after being pressed once.
Im trying to control a linux pc from windows.

Could you share some additional information? Specifically which backends are in use?

You could provide this information by pasting the logs when running lan-mouse from the commandline. (Mainly from the linux side)

@ToastedWookiee commented on GitHub (Dec 2, 2025):

I have this issue, going from hyprland (wayland) host to an Xfce (X11) client, using git build from the AUR on cachyOS. Once I move mouse to the client I cannot get mouse back to host until I kill lan-mouse on the client.

Edit: Or setting and using the release_bind to return.

Edit 2: When using the release_bind with the example given for ASDF, this will leave the client spamming the 2nd to last key pressed, so if I press d before the last key of f, it will leave leave the d key being spammed on the client, fixed when I press that key again.

Client (Xfce) logs:

I have this issue, going from hyprland (wayland) host to an Xfce (X11) client, using git build from the AUR on cachyOS. Once I move mouse to the client I cannot get mouse back to host until I kill lan-mouse on the client.

Edit: Or setting and using the release_bind to return.

Edit 2: When using the release_bind with the example given for ASDF, this will leave the client spamming the 2nd to last key pressed, so if I press d before the last key of f, it will leave leave the d key being spammed on the client, fixed when I press that key again.

Client (Xfce) logs:

This is expected, since there is no X11 Capture backend yet.
