IT/Software/Applications/Synergy

Notes

This application allows you to use one mouse and or keyboard across several computers.

You can buy a copy at symless.com

There is one in the repo but usually old and not wtih the advanced features.

I bought one years ago and love it.

For some reason the "Configure Server" dead corners feature does not work.

You need to Save a config(any) in a location. /home/user/.synergy is a great place.

Then manually edit the file.

Take your time to read the file. It is actually very well written.

An example is below from walt's desktop in Chiangmai to the server on the left.

section: screens
	msgcnx:
		halfDuplexCapsLock = false
		halfDuplexNumLock = false
		halfDuplexScrollLock = false
		xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
		switchCorners = none +top-right +bottom-right 
		switchCornerSize = 0
	mimiablo:
		halfDuplexCapsLock = false
		halfDuplexNumLock = false
		halfDuplexScrollLock = false
		xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
		switchCorners = none +top-left +bottom-left 
		switchCornerSize = 100
end

section: aliases
end

section: links
	msgcnx:
		right = mimiablo
	mimiablo:
		left = msgcnx
end

section: options
	relativeMouseMoves = false
	win32KeepForeground = false
	disableLockToScreen = false
	clipboardSharing = true
	clipboardSharingSize = 23552
	switchDelay = 500
	switchCorners = none +top-left +bottom-left 
	switchCornerSize = 200
