David Wu Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Hi - My setup is a Macbook Pro (server) using an additional monitor and Macbook screen with a Windows 8 Client. I am trying to setup a hotkey (alt+3) to switch to to Windows 8 Client from the Mac. Anytime I'm on the Macbook or add. monitor, nothing happens (debug log below). I found this site: [url]https://github.com/symless/synergy/issues/3705[/url] and it states that hotkeys don't work on a Mac server. Is that correct? If so, this makes Synergy useless to me. [2016-03-06T07:56:42] DEBUG: registered hotkey Alt+\u00a3 (id=00a3 mask=0004) as id=1 [2016-03-06T07:56:42] DEBUG: could not map hotkey id=ef14 mask=0000 [ Quote
somnium Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Hello David, Can you test to do a different hotkey setup to see if that works? It might be that the keybindings does not work and in that case just add a comment to the issue and hopefully the developers can have a look asap. If you have a solution/patch for it then it is also welcome to the github page. Quote
David Wu Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 Hi Somnium - I've tried multiple different keys and actions, but nothing works. Any other tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote
Edward McLain Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Using 2 Mac's on 10.11 with Synergy 1.7.5 and have the same experience. No matter what key combination I try I can't get hotkeys to function. Ed Quote
Anish Muttreja Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 i am using synergy 1.7.6 with an os X server and windows 7 client and have the same issue. Quote
Denis Cappellin Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Same problem with OS X (10.11.4) server and Windows 10 client. Synergy 1.7.6. Quote
Michael Gustafsson Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Hi Having similar issue. Running Mac 10.11 as server (synergy 1.7.6) with a windows 7 client. I can't get Hot keys to work and the Mac keyboard is not working at all on the windows 7 client. Any ideas how to solve it? //Michael Quote
Jack Taranto Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Hotkeys work fine on windows client, do not work at all on mac server. please fix! Quote
Jesse Keefe Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 I'm having a similar issue. I was hoping to create a setup similar to how Parallels works. So, I could continue to use the same keyboard shortcuts for Mac, when the Keyboard/Mouse were on my Windows machine. Setup (Windows - Client) (Mac - Server) Quote
Mike Cappella Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Same issue here. Is anyone taking this stuff seriously? This has been a problem for ages. Quote
Chris Brubaker Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Just throwing my hat into the ring, I too cannot get hotkeys to work using the mac client and server setup. I'm running osx 10.11 and synergy 1.8.2.stable. Quote
Alan Hsieh Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Also having this issue - turning up logging to Debug suggests that Mac server isn't catching any of the hotkeys Quote
Alan Hsieh Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 note: a PR with fix is here! https://github.com/symless/synergy/issues/3705 Quote
Judd Maltin Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I'm suggesting a fork. Or a third party build to link to on this page and github until our paid support decides to include the patch. Quote
Bruno CC Santos Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Apparently this is still an issue on Ubuntu 16.04. 1 Quote
kylemurphey Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Running Mac OS 10.12.5 and synergy-v1.8.8-stable MacOSX-x86_64 as server. Hotkeys do not work on the server. They only work on my Windows client. I'm fairly disappointed this has been a problem for so long. Quote
swediepie Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) I'm running Mac OS 10.12.6 with Synergy Version 1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2 as server. I have a Debian client, where hotkeys work. On the Mac server no hotkeys work at all, not even if I set it to a single characted such as "a". I thought it was because I'm using Karabiner to modify keys, but even after completely turning this off this problem persists. It also seems that this issue is affecting alot of other people in this post. When can we expect a fix to this? Edited October 19, 2017 by swediepie Quote

Nicolas Kamennoff Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Hi, Same on Ubuntu 18.04 (synergy 1.10.2). Complicates my daily work. @Andrew Nelless @Joe Abasolo Edited August 9, 2019 by Nicolas Kamennoff Quote
Undergrid Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Same issue with Windows 10 as the server and OSX 10.14.5 as the client with Synergy 1.11.0. I've found that I can send single keys, so for example press control+l on the PC to send l to the mac, but as soon as I add a control character to the hotkey being sent to the mac (control, alt or even shift), the mac doesn't seem to get anything.
