Universal Control works to share keyboard and mouse from one mac to another, but actually switching seems to require physically moving the mouse to the other display. Ideally, I'd like Apple to support some command available via command-key equivalents to cycle to other devices in the way that we can cycle through applications or windows. Seeking to program that directly, I was unable to find any Universal Control API's on point. Are there any? I can imagine restricted this to the OS only for security. In case there are display-driven API's, I see that system settings/displays shows all the displays from all devices, but I was unable to find a UI or API's to change focus to another display (other than moving the mouse to select the display). When I list displays programmatically, I only see the device-local displays. In case there are device-driven APIs: I can initialize a bluetooth session and secure credentials, but interaction seems to be unavailable.

My employer has several MDM restrictions enabled for security reasons. Particularly, they disable Handoff in order to disable Universal Clipboard, since the two are coupled together in the MDM restrictions. This has the unfortunate side-effect of disallowing Mac Virtual Display on the Vision Pro, since it requires Handoff in order to work. Is there another way for them to disable only Universal Clipboard using MDM restrictions? If not, how could I go about requesting that the MDM restrictions be more granular?

Hi Devs, So I'm not the only one facing this issue. When we use MacBook and iPhone at the same time, the AirPods don't revert back to MacBook automatically and are needed to be connected manually by clicking on popup. Is this issue going to be solved in upcoming updates?

Upgrade to Monterey 12.3 couple days ago on my MacBook Air 2020. Since then, my bluetooth headphones and BT mouse are lagging, randomly disconnecting and reconnecting every few minutes or so. As this has never happened before the upgrade, I thought it was quite unusual. Anybody else with similar issues or any fixes?

My handoff/airplay devices are iPone 12 Pro (IOS 14.2.1), iPhone X(iOS 14.2), M1 MacBook Pro 2020 (Big Sur 11.0.1) and apple watch series 5.  iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone X can detect handoff from each other;But they both can't detect handoff from MacBook Pro(Big Sur 11.0.1).  I've tried all troubleshooting in all devices.
