Latest update to PowerToys - Mouse Without Borders, specifically

[britechguy]

One thing I have seen bemoaned quite a bit over time, and including in reference to Quick Assist, is the lack of ability to share files quickly and easily when working with another machine.

Last night, I got the latest update for PowerToys, and there is a new feature called Mouse Without Borders that includes the ability to share the clipboard between both sides of a connection as well as push files in either direction.

I really wish they had not called PowerToys what they called it, but had used PowerTools instead, as most of the things offered are way, way more than toys and most are really aimed at power users.

Hello! hope you are well, I just want to say Power Toys may have an unconventional name, but it provides valuable features like Mouse Without Borders, enabling seamless file and clipboard sharing between connected machines. Despite the name, it offers advanced tools for enhancing productivity.

Is there an echo in here?

Yeah Microsoft Garage has had some cool "things"....I like that name better. Maybe they should let Garage absorb powertoys....
