I'm not using a KVM for an iMac and an Ubuntu Linux machine. The iMac has its internal display plus one external monitor, and the Linux box drives a 4K display. I purchased Synergy ($29), which lets me use the Mac keyboard/mouse on the Linux machine. The software also works with Windows and the basic version I bought works with up to three computers. The way I have it configured, just move the cursor up on the Mac's main screen and it appears on the Linux monitor above.
https://symless.com/synergy Installation was painless, and if I reboot the Linux box I would only need a keyboard/mouse attached if I want to mess around in the BIOS. It's not exactly what you're asking for, but I have been quite happy using it here.
