Detection if input is going to master/slave/which slave?

[Jolly]

is there a way for me to programmatically detect this from another program, script, api call, etc? Autohotkey, or something similar?

My Goal I use a streamdeck, which is very handy.

I would love for this stream deck to be able to tell if I"m using the host or the guest, or which guest So that way I could run a script accordingly.

(like I have a script that will automatically find my slack window, and launch it if it's not already running, but if I can detect which screen I'm on, I can then have it run in my guest if I'm in the guest or host if I'm on the host)

I see that ID macro's let us define a macro's target, but I'm Trying to figure out a way to access that same sort of information from outside of input director itself, IE an auto hotkey script or a batch file or something.

Any ideas?

"

• Unassigned - The macro is disabled and has no target.
• System with Input Focus - Whichever system has the (mouse/keyboard) input will be the one that the macro is played to.
• Director - No matter which system has the input, the macro will be played on the Director system.
• Client with Input Focus - If the system being controlled is a client system then the macro will be played on it. If the Director system has the input then the macro isn't played.
• All Client - The macro is played to all available client systems
• All Systems - The macro is played to all available client systems and the Director system
• All but System w/ Input Focus - The macro is played to all available client and the Director except for the system that currently has the input focus
• System: clientname - The macro is bound to a particular client. No matter which system has the input, the macro is played to that specific client.

Or is it possible that ID's macro's can output the name of the device it's sending the input to?

Hi,

Not at this stage. A few years ago I did raise the idea of providing hooks that could be used to trigger other programs / scripts when particular events occurred (such as transitioning control), but didn't get any real interest so never implemented it.

Regs,
