David Wu 0 Posted March 6, 2016 Share 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.

somnium 0 Posted March 7, 2016 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
David Wu 0 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hi Somnium - I've tried multiple different keys and actions, but nothing works. Any other tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Gustafsson 0 Posted April 20, 2016 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Taranto 0 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hotkeys work fine on windows client, do not work at all on mac server. please fix! Link to post Share on other sites
Jesse Keefe 0 Posted July 5, 2016 Share 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) Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Cappella 0 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Same issue here. Is anyone taking this stuff seriously? This has been a problem for ages. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Brubaker 0 Posted August 19, 2016 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Hsieh 0 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Also having this issue - turning up logging to Debug suggests that Mac server isn't catching any of the hotkeys Link to post Share on other sites

Judd Maltin 4 Posted October 21, 2016 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites

kylemurphey 0 Posted October 10, 2017 Share 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.  Link to post Share on other sites
swediepie 1 Posted October 19, 2017 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Undergrid 0 Posted February 18, 2020 Share 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.
