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

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.

Fixed this, was windows firewall, never really had a problem, but I added Synergy to the firewall exceptions and its all well now.

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!

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?

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.
