Common kvm hotkeys?

far2gud

This is a longshot but I'm hoping someone can help me. I bought a mini kvm switch from komplett about 2 years ago and can't remember the hotkey to make it switch for the life of me

I know it was either up up or left left in conjunction with another key but just dont know which one. The thing is the switch has no make or model on it and it just a blue box with a monitor and 2 sets of ps/2 ports.

All it says on it is "mini kvm switch"

Any suggestions of common kvm hotkeys appreciated

Cheers

most of the ones I've used, belkin etc, all use the 'scroll lock' key. Usually tap scroll lock twice quickly and then an arrow key (up or down me thinks) Hope that helps

Same as the one I have.

Static M.e.

Try double tapping the Scroll lock or Home key.

Hit Space to bring up the menu or Page up and Page Down to switch between machines

Thanks lads, will give that a go when I get home. Head was melted with it last night!!

Tapping the CTRL key twice brings up a menu on some models...

For my Zonet 4-port KVM, tapping the 'Num Lock' key twice followed by the number (whichever port you want) does the trick. If Num lock doesn't work, Scroll lock twice followed by the port number may work.
