Using JetKVM

Keyboard & Mouse

The computer sees JetKVM as a USB keyboard and mouse. What you type and click in JetKVM's web interface goes to the computer, including in the BIOS and before the operating system starts.

Keyboard

Match the keyboard layout

Set Keyboard Layout, under Settings, then Keyboard, to the layout the computer's operating system uses. Otherwise pasted text, the virtual keyboard and macros type the wrong characters, like z instead of y on a German computer. JetKVM has 19 layouts.

Paste text

Click Paste text in the top bar, paste and click Confirm Paste. JetKVM types it, for passwords or commands where copy and paste doesn't work. It skips characters the layout can't type; if characters go missing on a slow computer, raise Delay between keys.

Copy text from the screen

Click the arrow next to Paste text, choose Copy text and drag over the text. JetKVM recognizes it in your browser, lets you review it and copies it to your clipboard.

Send shortcuts

Your browser catches some shortcuts, like Ctrl+Alt+Delete or the Windows key. Send them from Virtual Keyboard in the top bar, or save them as macros under Settings, then Keyboard Macros: up to 25, of up to 10 keys each, as buttons below the top bar.

Mouse

Choose a mouse mode

Under Settings, then Mouse. If scrolling goes the wrong way, turn on Invert Scroll Direction there too.

ModeUse it
AbsoluteThe default. The cursor goes exactly where you point.
RelativeWhen the cursor doesn't follow you, in some BIOS setups and games. Click the video to capture the mouse; Esc releases it.

Keep the computer awake

The Jiggler, under Settings, then Mouse, nudges the mouse so the computer doesn't sleep or lock during a long install. It runs on JetKVM, so it keeps going after you close the browser.
