mouse sharing is not end, there is also cut and paste integration - relatively easy but not to be forgotten.

i think you could also play some fun tricks with drag and drop on other os’s passing a (modified) path to the plumber (/n/remote-host/file-path).

finally plumbing a url on plan9 could open a modern browser in the commodity os.

personal view…

overall such integration would make plan9 usable as a desktop again for me.

previously i had a work windows box via remote desktop. this allowed me to use plan9 as my primary desktop but switch into rd ehen i needed.

now i have a work mac and vnc from the mac does not work as well. thankfully p9p makes life bearable but i feel dishonest.
