Abstract

In one example, a method for a first computing environment (FCE) to automatically display a virtual input device on a display of a second computing environment (SCE) communicatively coupled to the FCE via a main channel. An auxiliary channel is established between the FCE and the SCE. A virtual input device preference is negotiated with the SCE over the auxiliary channel. A selection by the SCE, over the main channel, of an input element of an active FCE application associated with the SCE is detected. In response to the selection, a virtual input device in accordance with the device preference, operable by the SCE to input data to the input element, is automatically caused to be launched.
