Synergy mouselook/top spin fix

[Tynk]

Well, as I use synergy and find it extremely annoying not being able to mouse look on my slave machines. I started poking around a bit in the settings and found an interesting solution.

First of course you go into options and check both "Use relative mouse moves" and "Don't take foreground on Windows servers"

But the trick is, Go into hot keys and make a hot key for your right mouse button.
Then we make 3 actions tied to that one mouse button.

action 1: Check "Lock Cursor to Screen" and change the drop down to on. Check "Hot key is pressed"
action 2: Check "Lock Cursor to Screen" and change the drop down to off. Check "Hot key is released"
action 3: Check "Press & Release:" select the input box and click your right mouse button so the box says "mousebutton(3)" select "Hot key is pressed"

The first to of course lock and unlock the screen which is the current fix for the top spin. The third one keeps the right mouse button passing a right mouse button command. Without it you will not be able to right click"
The only issue I found with this is when ever you release the mouse button it centers the mouse on the screen. I find this much prefered over spinning like a top.

Or you could use the KVM features of Octopus or something else besides synergy. ;)

octopus will not work for me. I have my wing monitors turned vertical and with octopus I can move on to those monitors but not move off them.

You have the screen window size/area set wrong. ;) I had that problem with mine when I bought my new 24" monitors a while back.

and how do I get octopus working on my mac?

and nice btw...... when ya go vertical you need to set to 1200x1920 instead of 1920x1200

and I can just run synergy as a server on my edge most client so that one will hook up to the mac

Ah, with a mac in the picture, Octopus is out. :P

Does Octopus work with Warhammer?

this is a nice temp fix, but some problems do arise:
1) right clicking anything in the inventory sets the mouse to the middle of the screen... thus i can't right click stuff in my bags
2) right clicking npc's does the same.. so selecting text, quests, flightpaths... not happening.

i'm sure that something can be done to fix it though, thanks for the great idea anyhow!
