Linux

The following are the recommended instructions for setting up the appropriate permissions to allow OverBind to access your input device.

1. Create file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-uinput.rules
2. Paste contents into file KERNEL=="uinput", GROUP="input", MODE="0660". This grants permission to read and write to your input devices to anyone in the "input" group.
3. Run command sudo usermod -aG input $(whoami). This adds the current user to the input group.
4. Restart computer
5. Set your device in the overbind settings in the "Input Devices" dropdown.

v1.5.0

• Support for Linux
• Added "Show forced cursor" feature to linux. This will create a virtual cursor whenever you are in an allowed program. The cursor will disappear automatically after 3 seconds of inactivity.
• Added "Input devices" setting to linux. This allows you to specify which input device you would like overbind to accept inputs from. Note that this list does not only include keyboards and may have duplicates. But generally speaking you are looking for the device with the name of your keyboard that ends with -event-kbd.
