Hi again,

For some reason, after a while Synergy will stop responding, well, I get errors from the other PC's saying that there is already a PC with the name connected to the client, and the client saying that there already is a PC connected with the same name.

Any thing that can be done?

Cheers.

Cheers.

broadcast-enabled Synergy (linked above): Once broadcast mode is toggled on (via a hotkey), will pass ALL keys to all CLIENTs AND SERVER.

Did I capture the functionality correctly?

If so, is anyone up for creating a middle-ground where configured hotkeys will be delivered to CLIENT and SERVER? I definitely need the "local echo", but having every keystroke passed is overkill for me.

I've tried things like
[code:1]keystroke(1) = keyDown(1,*); keyUp(1,*)[/code:1] and [code:1]keystroke(1) = keyDown(1,servername),keyDown(1,clientname); keyUp(1,servername),keyUp(1,clientname)[/code:1] which I think should intuitively work, but don't seem to. Tried in both the standard release and the broadcast version.

I've played with AHK, but I think Synergy is (almost) exactly what I need for my EverQuest boxing needs.

Thanks in advance!

I am looking for the same funcitonality. I only really want to broadcast the top row of keys `,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,-,= and not pass any other keys. The hot keys feature seemed ideal, but as Smiles pointed out, the host machine doesn't get these keys. I've been playing with keyclone and can't seem to get it to work. Hotkey was my other solution, but has been pulled?

Recommendations?

I am using synergy to share a keyboard between a windows computer (the server) and a mac. It works great, except that I can't share the numeric keypad. Num 5 becomes a regular 5 on the mac which means I can't use the numpad for key bindings.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Mouse movement not working correctly on client within WoW.

Synergy seems to be working fine, but when I switch to the client pc in the game, and then try to look around, it spins either looking up or looking down. Can't get it to look horizontal. Basically, can't use mouse look correctly. Any ideas?

press "scrol lock" on the the PC you like to use the mouse look, with this key the mouse gets locked on that screen, but you have to press the key again, that you can switch between your monitors with the mouse.

Have you found a solution to this? I am having the same problem :(

I ended up finding an older client version (1.2.6) that has a numpad patch for the Mac, it works great on my Leopard system: http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3441934

I am using the following in my synergy options file. No need to press Scroll Lock anymore.
However, a new side-effect is the mouse will jump to the center of the screen after using mouse look.

In you synergy.sgc file (this remaps the right mouse button):

Code:

section: options relativeMouseMoves = true mousebutton(3) = mouseDown(3), lockCursorToScreen(on); mouseUp(3), lockCursorToScreen(off) end

Thank you for this broadcast version! The only thing is that on the client it would interpret a numpad keystroke as a top row keystroke.

I ended up editing the original source code (COSXKeyState.cpp) and added the following after function keys:

Code:

{ kKeyKP_0, 82}, { kKeyKP_1, 83}, { kKeyKP_2, 84}, { kKeyKP_3, 85}, { kKeyKP_4, 86}, { kKeyKP_5, 87}, { kKeyKP_6, 88}, { kKeyKP_7, 89}, { kKeyKP_8, 91}, { kKeyKP_9, 92}, { kKeyKP_Subtract, 78}, { kKeyKP_Divide, 75}, { kKeyKP_Add, 69}, { kKeyKP_Multiply, 67}, { kKeyKP_Enter, 76}, { kKeyKP_Equal, 81}, { kKeyKP_Decimal, 65}, { kKeyClear, 71},

I recompiled it on my i386 OS X 10.5 iMac and Macbook and it works like a charm.

had the same issues with synergy when i was using it around 1-2 months ago. Ended up forking out $20 and paying for similar software called Multiplicity
http://www.stardock.com/products/multiplicity/

works a treat, currently have it running on my main (Vista Ultimate 64bit) and running on my laptop (Win XP Pro 32bit) dont have any issues with mouse look etc, that i was getting with synergy and it also broadcasts the keyboard. (Dont think u can tell it to only broadcast certain keys tho) But with Hotkeynet, its not needed anyway.

If ur willing to try an alternative (even tho it is not free) there is a trial version available
