Minor rant ... You post code as a solution, that only requires copying and pasting into a fresh project, then they say it does not work. Are they trying or doing what they think is better, not reading what you are writing... the code is not complicated.
Okay, rant over. Onto the next question.

they just want to copy paste to their ongoing project

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Only that they don't read the code you post and check what and where they put it.

I'm starting to reply with Google Drive links to a sample project so that they can see it work, not their interpretation of what is given.

And if you manage to push them to expand on that comment, it turns out they haven't read a single word of your answer, and are still running the original non-functional code from their question?
No, I'm sure I don't know what you mean. I've never had that experience in QA.

Similar experience here, gave a working solution in a console app, they needed it in WinForm. No points, just complaint that it doesn't work!

Couldn't they create a console window in their WinForm app? I actually do not know the answer to that.
Iβve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I've used VNC to connect to a headless Mac Mini (previously i5, 8GB & now M1, 16GB) for many years.
I've tweaked it out in many ways to make it faster and the connection is directly from my Linux desktop over 1Gb ethernet directly to the Mac.
I am completely amazed and how slow it actually is. And there seems to be a bug where if you just type a character or two (say in a terminal window) then when the cursor stops it does not draw again.
It does this with the I-bar text cursor in XCode when I move it a few characters down to alter some text. After moving the I-bar it just doesn't redraw again. It's so annoying and I just didn't know that VNC would work so poorly -- well at least on the mac connection.
Anyways, I finally bought a KVM so I can just switch over to the mac.
I just don't really understand why the littlest thing like sending cursor position would be so slow.
I connect to remote desktops (windows 10 from my linux box) which are far away in distance across my router and out into the public internet and it works better so very confusing.
Glad I'm taking on the KVM.

VNC is a rather old protocol. If I remember correctly, it is an encapsulation of RFB (Remote Frame Buffer) protocol that just sends across squares of screen real estate that have changed. I doubt it has the concept of mouse position.
Also there are many VNC variants (real VNC, tiger VNC, tight VNC) so your mileage may vary. You might be better off with an RDP connection if there is such a thing for Macs.

Very good information. Thanks.
I thought it was related to the VNC protocol myself.
I have tried numerous times and various ways to use RDP to connect to the mac but could never get it to work. I also can't find anything online that shows that you can use RDP so I finally gave up.
Wow though! The KVM (obviously) is magical. Who'da thought that using your computer directly was so much faster than a remote connection?

I've tried doing that as well. Even with RDP and a couple Windows boxes. At the end of the day, even if everything works quick-ish, the latency for this type of stuff is too much for real productive work. Especially if you do just about anything with graphics or animation. Personally, I don't touch the stuff unless I have no other choice for things like simple server admin. Sanity is more important than having to tap a button to swap.

Come to think about it, there is a solution if you want both "on" at the same time. You can get wide monitors that take two simultaneous inputs at the same time and show each display on either side of the screen. Then it's a matter of installing software to make it seamless on both machines. Since it's only tracking keyboard and mouse data the latency is tremendously better than VNC or RDP.
I am in no way recommending this particular monitor but just showing they be out there: Amazon Clickety.
