hello,
it should be possible with [hid] but it would require to make an interface for sending internal messages, and drawing several custom cursors. Graphically I guess that the patcher would have to be made with another tool kit than tcltk by using a library like tkinter (already available), or even better (I guess) with a gtk or a qt frontend external. Another solution would be about hacking Gem or gridflow for using multiple mouses, I don't know if it's possible.

Hello, earlier today a thought just popped up... and maybe it´s already done, and maybe it´s not even something that relates to Pd mainly.
My idea is this: One computer, several keyboards and mouses connected to this same one computer, shares a Pd window, patching together. Could be something that could be interesting to do as live performance/collaboration... maybe. Just wanted to share this idea - and see if it´s already been done something like this..
Guess the technical side of it is more to get several keyboards/mouses to run in parallell with unique "id"s. Probably there exists a really easy solution to this.
I am not directly planning to do this, but I am curious anyway, if someone can elaborate on this idea then I am happy to listen..!? (I know there are some web-interfaced Pd projects (Purée Data?) but this idea is more simple, just to use one computer with several users/patchers.)
All the best, Björn Eriksson
