Input Director lacks the ability to Auto rescan.
The rescan issues lead me to switch to Synergy.
But Synergy does not handle switch-user, so back to ID.

When the slave is not found, ID should scan for it. -- obvious --
This would end much frustration on this site!
Why has this not been implemented!

Current issue:
While playing D3 beta, ID drops the slave.
I have to alt-tab to the desktop and rescan.

How do you tell ID to rescan? inputdirector.exe /rescan ???
I could use AHK to send the rescan command then the switch display
command.

Possible?

This single line works to rescan the slaves:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Input Director\InputDirector" -hide

This AHK script runs the rescan fix, then hits a key setup in ID to
switch to the second monitor = (ctrl-shift-F11)
About 2s (2000ms) is required on my system after the rescan.

Runwait "C:\Program Files (x86)\Input Director\InputDirector" -hide
Sleep, 2000
Send {ctrl down}{shift down}{f11}{ctrl up}{shift up}
