KVM mode window swapping question

is there no way to quickly swap thru all computers tiled on the same monitor? ideally i'd like to make a hotkey like shift+alt+1 shift+alt+2 etc to swap between computer 1 2 3 etc.  if i have to pull up the side bar to click and swap then this program was a giant waste of 100 bucks :(

from the FAQ

"Share one monitor with multiple PCs simultaneously and move between them seamlessly"

How??!

 

clicking on an icon on a bar that takes up 1/4 of my monitor is not seamless.  Why is this software so unintuitive?

I set up a hot key to open KVM mode

 

You can also set up commands to open a specific remote PC (ex. "C:\Program Files (x86)\EdgeRunner\Multiplicity\mprdp.exe" [COMPUTER NAME] )

i don't ever want to see the KVM mode "which computer would you like to control" screen.

using your setup for example,  I want to have win7, dell, surface, and nuc all connected and all maximized windowed fullscreen on the same monitor stacked on top of each other. I want to set it up so when i hit ctrl+alt+1 it will put win7 on top, ctrl+alt+2 will put dell on top..etc etc etc.  it sounds like the command setup would work? could you elaborate more on that for me please

 

 

edit* so i made a shortcut for the command to open one of my other computers and that works...but its crazy delayed....if i just click between the 3 connected computers on my main computers task bar it switches instantly and smoothly..but executing the command has a delay. so that's not going to work :-\ 

edit2* also, another issue im having with this workaround is I have multiple secondary comps.  I have all the shortcuts on my primary and if my primary computer is on the monitor then they all take me to the individual secondary computers, but then how do i get back to the primary? or jump around to the other secondaries? the hotkey i've set in the shortcuts don't do anything on the secondary computers (obviously)
