Synergy

[Kumakei]

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?

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

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.

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):

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

Thanks to rjenkins8142, the OS X version of Synergy with keystroke broadcasting is now available here: http://mendax.org/?p=577

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:

 	{ 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
