I came across a reference to kdeconnect while reading related stuff but I really looked it up after your comment. I'm using Debian on my machine and am currently using free version of Remote Mouse which allows very limited actions without posting. Kdeconnect sounds like it could take care of that and more. I just hope it supports two person controlling the same PC.
This will be in complimentary to a physical button IR remote that I'm aiming to implement after this post. Thanks.
there won't be two pointers, but multiple devices are supported
Yeah, I'm not wishing for two pointers either. The current setup with Remote Mouse software allows two devices to move the single pointer at the same time but since kdeconnect software allows sharing of files and notifications from phone onto the PC, I'm not sure how connecting two devices will work. Guess I'll figure it out as I set it up.
