Barrier v2.4.0
Barrier v2.4.0 Free and open source KVM software. Barrier is a software that works just like a KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) switch, which allows you to use a single mouse and keyboard to control several different computers by physically turning a dial on the box to switch the machine you're controlling at any given time. Barrier is able to do this in software, giving you control over different machines by simply moving your mouse to the edge of the screen, or by using a keypress to switch focus to a different system. Barrier was built to be simple and reliable, allowing you to control a different machine by simply using your mouse and keyboard from another. It works on all major operating systems (Linux, Windows, MacOS/OS X), including FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Features • Simple and easy control of multiple computers with just one mouse and keyboard • Compatible with most operating systems • Free and open source This download is for the Windows version. If you need the MacOS version, download here. If you need the Linux, FreeBSD or OpenBSD version, see your distro's package installer. Click here to visit the author's website.

Hyperkey v0.22
Hyperkey v0.22 The extra macOS modifier key Put an unused key to work! Convert the caps lock key or any modifier key to the hyper key, all four modifiers combined: ⌃⌥⌘⇧ The hyper key acts as an additional modifier key that you can use in any app with keyboard shortcuts. You can also just remap caps lock to a more useful key. FAQ Why can't I record my shortcut with Hyperkey in Keyboard Maestro? • Keyboard Maestro's shortcut recorder works a little differently than most, BUT if you just record your shortcut physically pressing all the modifiers, then the hyper key configured in Hyperkey (or Superkey) will properly trigger what you have configured in Keyboard Maestro. Why don't my key remappings work in password fields? • Password text fields in macOS are secure and prevent 3rd party applications from knowing which keystrokes are pressed. Supports: macOS 10.13+, Intel and Apple Silicon Click here to visit the author's website.

Keyboard Locker v1.0
Keyboard Locker v1.0 Your cat is not a writer and he sucks at video games. Keyboard Unlocker is a free tool to lock your keyboard when you are away from your computer. This helps keep kitty from adding pole dancing to your resume or destroying your Valorant rankings as he prances his happy ass over your keyboard. How to use Unzip the file. The program is based on an AutoHotKey script by Lexikos but has been made stand-alone by Trevor Bekolay of How-To Geek. Because of this there are two ways to launch it. If you have AutoHotKey installed, use the script file "KeyboardLocker.ahk" in AutoHotKey. If you do not have AutoHotKey installed, just run "KeyboardLocker.exe. This simple program will disable the keyboard when you press Ctrl+Alt+L. Once the keyboard is locked, you can type in "unlock" to unlock it. You can enable balloon notifications when the keyboard is locked or unlocked by right clicking on the tray icon (looks like a keyboard) and clicking on "Show tray notifications." Supported Operating Systems Tested on Windows 7, 10 and 11 but probably works fine on all versions of Windows. Click here to visit the author's website.

Keyboard Sounds v1.2.1
Keyboard Sounds v1.2.1 Add sound effects to your typing experience in Windows. Keyboard Sounds is a lightweight system tray application that adds sound effects to your typing experience. Important: The desktop application still requires the Python package to be installed on your system.

This will allow you to run Python from the command line, which is a requirement for the desktop application to function correctly. You may need to restart the application after doing this for the changes to take effect. Custom Profiles Keyboard Sounds comes bundled with eleven built-in sound profiles and supports custom profiles in which you can provide your own WAV or MP3 files to be used for the different keys pressed. Application Rules Keyboard Sounds supports application rules in which you can control the behavior of the sound daemon based on the currently running applications. Command Line Keyboard Sounds has a comprehensive backend that can be used to manage the daemon, application rules, and profiles. This backend can be accessed via the command line interface (CLI) in your terminal application. Click here to visit the author's website.

Scancode Map v1.11
Scancode Map v1.11 An easy, portable tool to re-map your keyboard keys. From the author: "It all stated by me getting annoyed with F1 key. As it is only a registry change, I did it manually; easy enough. But then I got another laptop that had no context key (damn you HP). So I remapped Right Alt to Context menu. But I also wanted F1. And for my media computer with a strange small keyboard, I wanted to do other mappings too. Quite soon it was obvious that I might as well create application instead of calculating mappings by hand. This application gives you ability to remap any hardware key to another using the Scancode Map registry value. Once configuration is written (and computer rebooted), application doesn’t need to be running for mapping to work. Additionally, if you want to use manual mapping, it is useful to get scancode information for a key and there is standalone Scancode Viewer included too." Changes: 1.11 (2019-11-17) Using TLS 1.3 for upgrade and feedback. Click here to visit the author's website.
