Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse/issues/173

I used a new tty, because I found no key that worked.

Tried a lot:

  • KeyLeftCtrl, KeyLeftShift, KeyLeftMeta, KeyLeftAlt
  • ESC
  • :q
  • q

ESC should release the cursor and then pressing CTRL+C in the terminal to stop the command.
(this wont work if capture is broken in some way)
Or if you have shell access you could run killall lan-mouse

I tried Ctrl+C as well and just got the capture information and no input worked.

Maybe it is related to https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse/issues/174

If the input is emulated while test-capture is running, that would explain why I found no way to stop it.

I also looked into code if there is a combo or order of keys that stops it.

I'm not sure #174 is related, since --test-capture does not emulate any input.
What system are you using here?
