Screen Share Switching

Allows the user to use screen sharing on a Mac to operate much more like a KVM.

This tool creates a KVM-like switching between multiple workstations. Designed for a Mac but could probably be easily modified to work on other operating systems. Functions include shortcuts to switch between multiple systems, toggle control/observation modes, screen selection and toggle scaling on/off. The "Recorder" calls up a secondary deck with a couple of window configurations that I routinely use along with a "Back to Main" button. The two buttons named "Emilie" & "Andy" bring up machines that are used for Pro Tools playback - each having dual monitors. A secondary deck with the screen share controls will be called up with either of these machines.
