@AndyMacUser macOS gestures are planned for Synergy 3, and is on our roadmap of planned features: https://symless.com/synergy/roadmap

Hi Jack. Do you find that you have that issue if you switch the computer roles?

Will try upgrade next week, am working off home mostly, server-client combo is at work. Thx/Evert

Hi all, Same issue here. In my case however it starts to work again during a day. Didn't find a pattern yet. I have this with quite some versions so far. It's a bit interessting when you post your password to company channels beacuse you think you are typing it on other PC :). I hope well have some fix for this. Thanks. br, Tomi

Same thing happening here. Installed 1.13.1 in Big Sur as a client and it is practically unusable. Any idea of whether/when it will be fixed? Thanks!

Can you try updating to the latest version of Synergy, 1.13.1 and see if you have this issue?

Exactly.

How is the Linux client locked? Meaning the login screen is displayed?

Synergy 1.11.0, Windows 10 server, Ubuntu 18.04 client The linux client is locked after a few minutes and I cannot unlock it when moving the pointer to its screen. Can this be configured somehow? I have defined a hotkey for the client as well but this does not work either. Thanks/Evert

This issue was resolved in version 1.13.1. Please update to that version if you are finding your settings are not saved

Synergy does not currently support macOS gestures. This is a planned feature for the next major version of Synergy which you can find listed on our roadmap: https://symless.com/synergy/roadmap

Bitwarden was causing the issue in my case. If Bitwarden is in LOCKED state at server computer, Synergy was not able to get the key strokes in client computer. Once I logged in or Quit the application, Synergy is working fine.

Wow that actually worked! thanks! I did not know you could do that

That version of Synergy is longer available on the website, but if you contact support we can help: https://symless.com/contact-support

any update on this, I am using two MacBook Pro as well. and in the client I can not use mouse gestures.

I am running synergy 1.13 client on osx 11.2.2 big sur with a windows 10 server. It is extremely laggy! and i get the spinning beachball of death if i move the mouse around a lot. There is no lag at all on the machine next to it that is running 10.14.6 Mojave (and is a slightly slower machine). Both are on the same wifi network. Please help

They really need to put more time in to looking in to the issue as it removes a lot of point of using synergy. Anyways, I think I fixed the issue for me by buying a new keyboard. Before, I had a (very good) but unknown brand keyboard. Now I have a well known brand keyboard, which means it costs more and isn't nearly as good as the keyboard I had first. But it seems to have fixed the issue. This new keyboard is wired as well. the previous one had a dongle. Not sure if any of these things are connected but that seemed to resolve the issue for me.

Yes, I logged this problem and was told they could not replicate it. (i am using Windows 10 on all machines) Happens when i move to my 'server' and browse, click on websites or other apps, then move back into my 'client' any text I type is random garbage. I have to go back to the 'server' and then type into something - I usually have Notepad++ open for this reason, once I have typed, I can then go back into the 'client' and continue working. You are not on your own :)

Has there been any update on this? I am using Windows 10 as my server and a MacBook Pro (Catalina 10.15.7) as the client. I use the Mac to RDP into a remote Windows 10 box. The CTRL and SHIFT keys work everywhere but on the remote Windows box. I recently purchased Synergy 1 specifically to help me run in this environment. I may return the product if it cannot work this way. Can we get an update on when we might expect a fix?

@Nick Bolton is this fix live? I am new customer, and am loving it so far. But have not been able to figure out how to get trackpad gestures to work on my client machine (I'm an OSX + OSX user)

I could make it run with 1.11.1 But the version that gets served from this website when you purchase is 1.8.8 which doesn't work. Also in 1.11.1 I had to manually add a server in the preferences. It did not auto detect.

I'm experiencing the same problem on Intel Mac OS Big Sur latest (11.2), Intel Mac, Synergy latest as downloaded from the website - It's not intermittent - tried the chmod and rm-f instructions above, to no avail - this prevents me from using Synergy - I have changed application permissions via Finder info box as well - I have tried giving full disk permissions in Security settings to see if it solves it, but it does not Looking forward to seeing the team look into this fix tl;dr - Synergy doesn't work with Mac OS Big Sur for me.

Hello everyone, Synergy 1.13.1 has been released! https://symless.com/synergy/releases/synergy-1-13-1-release-notes Andrea

^^^ All of this Just bought the product and I'm a bit shocked all the above isn't standard.
