Issue in multi-keyboard capture #61

Closed 1999shaswat closed 1 year ago

1999shaswat commented 1 year ago

Issue:

If it fails to find the "last device" in the list, it won't connect to any device. Ideally, it should connect to "last successfully found device" in the list.

Info:

AT Translated Set 2 keyboard = Internal Laptop keyboard Keychron Keychron K2 = External usb keyboard Keychron K2 = External bluetooth keyboard

Observations:

  1. After reordering config file to this:

    [Device]
Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
Name="Keychron Keychron K2"
Name="Keychron K2"

    Touchcursor is taking "Keychron K2" as input and my External bluetooth keyboard is working.

  2. When only Internal laptop keyboard is present and other keyboards are disconnected, touchcursor is not taking it as input device. (can be seen in logs too)
