Synergy

[smiles]

Firstly, great site!

I'd like to test my understanding:

standard Synergy 1.3.1: Will deliver preconfigured hotkeys to CLIENTs only, hotkey is not passed locally to server.

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!

HI there, Im a longtime listener first time caller

Im trying out Synergy and alls is going well, but Id like to know how do you set it up so Syn only sends cetain keystrokes to the client, instead of all of them.

Im playing WoW (ofcorse XD) and trying out 2 mages, I have full controll of my "main" and all I want my slave to do is cast fireball and eat drink when I do, not copy everything I do.

thanks for any help =)

The easiest way is to change the key bindings on the slave. For instance, if when you press the "1" key, you only want your master to cast, unbind the "1" key from the slave. This is an in-game option.

Anything advanced will require a different program.

Now that I think about it, that is a pretty obvious solution lol, thanks =)

Have the same berserk option, i do however really like the fast response between the windows of the different computers and scroll lock does resolve the berserking but then you cant switch back untill you scroll lock again :|

GREAT program! is there a way to 'unbind' certain keys?

for instance i dont want w-a-s-d to be broadcast...

thanks!

Why not broadcast it but just remap it? Not an option?

[Evilsmith]

definitely an option. that is what what i am trying now and it works nicely.. my only complaint is not being able to use those keys now for the alts should my main die or if i need to micro manage there positioning in combat. i can still use arrow keys of course, its just one more leap i have to make.

this is a fix 'ughmaheadhurtz' posted in the wow part of the forums...

1) Make macro for "/follow <mainchar>"
2) Go into Interface Options-->Advanced and show all the other hotbars
3) Go into Keybinds and bind your "W" key to a hotbar button
4) Drag macro for /follow onto that key
5) ???
6) Profit!

Hi

I feel noob but i dont find how to unbind keys.
Here is my problem :
Got 2 chars, everything works fine when broadcasting but i mainly use arrowkeys to move.
And of course, it's moving on the 2 comps where i'd like the followers to just follow actually.
So anyone got a explanation how to "block" the broadcast of arrowkeys ?

Thanks

I played around with Synergy last night, and realized that broadcasting would be enormously helpful. My server machine, however, is a Mac, and the broadcasting-capable version of Synergy posted here is Windows-only.

Does anyone have a distribution of Synergy that includes broadcasting for OS X?
