Synergy

The program does not switch the keyboard between computers your tilde would activate a broadcast that wuold send all the keyboard commands to both machines at the same time. It also allows you to move your mouse to the edge of one screen and have it transition to the other computer's screen but its not like a KVM where you hit a button and it just transfers control from one computer to the other with the push of a button to transfer control you move the mouse to the other screen.

alright, wasn't totally sure so thought I should ask, any ideas on a program that might be able to do what I'm aiming for, if any?

Nice program

I have to agree, the mouse look on the client is bonkers. But other than that, sweet program

Actually, you can create a hotkey which will switch control to the other screen. Works well. When you press it, you are instantly on the other screen.

I created 2 hot keys so I could switch backa nd forth quickly if I needed it.

I got this up and running - pretty good so far.

Just one annoying problem:

When using hotkeys I am unable to get a key press on the server.
eg (in WOW):
Pressing "1" on the server (normaly casts whatever spell you have in the postion 1..) this works great on all the client PCs but nothing happens on the server

Reading the Synergy forums suggests that this is the way it work. Other people have had the same problem and no response on how to fix it.

Obviously when you are playing multiple toons you want them all (usually) to cast at once.

Anyone else having this problem? what are you doing to get around it?

I personally use the AHK script found in these forums to make the server react to key commands.

Its configured to the same keys that are hotkeyed in Synergy. It works for WoW, but not for anything else. So the main problem pops back up when your back in windows or other apps.

Its annoying, but it works.
