Mouse & Keyboard

The top row of buttons allows you to turn on Live View, take screen screenshots of your computer screen, navigate between Spaces, and open Launchpad.

Mouse

Your device screen acts like a computer trackpad. Use it to control the mouse cursor on your computer, using following gestures.

Gestures

Left Click - one finger tap

Right Click - two finger tap

Middle Click - three finger tap

Scroll Up/Down - two finger vertical pan

Scroll Left/Right - two finger horizontal pan

Select/Drag - three finger pan

Use a long press to lock the left mouse button in the pressed state to move windows or select items. Tap on it again to release it. Swipe with one finger on the scroll area on the left to scroll content on your computer.

Keyboard

To show the keyboard, tap on the keyboard icon above the bottom tab bar. Using the keyboard, you can enter text on your computer. Above the iOS keyboard, you have two rows of modifier and function keys. If you need to lock the modifier key, like SHIFT or CMD, use a long press to do so, and to release it, tap on it once.

Use the “text” button to paste text from your device on your computer, and enter text, user name, or passwords. Note: user names and passwords are sent using HTTP as clear text, so you should be careful and use it only on your local network at home.

Use long press on show keyboard button to switch between keyboard modes. For example to show function buttons (F1-F12) or switch to numbers keyboard.

You can also use Dictation to enter text on your computer.

Live View

Live View allows you to see your computer screen on your device. You can enable it by tapping the display icon in the top toolbar.

Use the long press on the display icon to switch between Live View modes: regular and fit.

In normal mode, you can enable scaling of the image in the Input settings, and in fit mode, the image will fit your device screen.

Next to the live view button, you have a screenshot button that allows you to take a screenshot of your computer screen and save it to Photos on your device (the app must have permission to capture the screen on your computer and to write to Photos on your device).

Settings

• Left Handed - If left-handed, turn this on to flip the mouse buttons and the scrolling area for more convenient use.
• Hide Mouse Buttons - you can hide mouse buttons from the screen, thus increasing the trackpad area. You can still use gestures to perform click, right-click, and middle-click.
