I reviewed these latest updates and updated my PiKVM 4+ to test it out:

Overall, everything works great in full screen mode when absolute positioning mouse mode.

However, it falls short when in full screen shot and using relative positioning mouse mode. In this mode, you still have to hold the escape key for several seconds before the system releases the mouse and exits full screen mode.

Would it be possible to have a shortcut sequence to instantly release the mouse but not exit the full screen mode? Perhaps something like <shortcut magic>+Escape?

Hello. I don't know yet how to link this to the existing hotkey mechanism. Perhaps there is some simpler way to implement mouse release. I'll think about it.
