Is multiple keyboard input to pi possible?

[splixson]

Is it possible to have two keyboards in control of a bash session? Where one keyboard is a Logitech wireless keyboard (main pi keyboard) and the other keyboard is actually a laptop connecting through to the pi from a ssh session.

One scenario is being able to correct typing entered by the Logitech using input from the ssh session. Other scenario is to play a two player game.

From my googling, it doesn't sound possible but it would be nice to confirm that is so.

Cheers

The main keyboard and the ssh session "keyboard" are effectively separate "terminals". Hence "scenario one" is unlikely. However, since different users can be logged in either directly or via the ssh session "scenario two" should be possible since linux is a "multi-user" O.S. Exactly how one would achieve that aim is another matter - I can think of a few possibilities but I'm not a "game programmer".

The "write" command might be what you are looking for.
Or linuxvnc or a solution with , again , GNU screen ...

Gnu screen looks great, didn't know that existed. I will investigate that, thanks.
