This? https://github.com/debauchee/barrier

Is the key feature clipboard sharing? Otherwise I don't know why I wouldn't redirect events with zero additional software. As-is, I press both ctrl keys and my keyboard and mouse switch to the virtual machine. The big nuisance is that I need to switch monitor inputs. That appears to be something I can automate, but simply haven't yet.

No, it's not. evdev forces you to have your keyboard/mouse either fully captured or not, which is a pain if you're just working with a productivity suite. With LG's SPICE client input is sent to the VM via the same channel that evdev does, but also gives greater control allowing us to keep the cursor in sync with the local cursor, making the VM feel as if it's just another application on your desktop.

Yes that, I don't know how you manage the kb and mouse without it, but I only use it for that.
