Bill Chen Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi All, This was mentioned on this thread, viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1955#p5626, but I think it's getting lost in all the clutter so figured I'd create a new thread and see if anyone has any thoughts. I have a Win7 Server, with a MacOs Sierra Client running 1.8.3 Stable. When I'm on the client, the control key modifier doesn't work as expected: [*] Ctrl + Up (Mission control) - No action [*] Ctrl + Down - No action [*] Ctrl + Left/Right (switch VM views) - in a text editor moves to the front/end of a line like the command key modifier would Looks like the Control key has lost it's binding with a MacOs Sierra client. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks in advance, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Chen Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Just a quick update. control + 1,2, or 3 (Switch to Desktop Keyboard Shortcut) is my current work around not being able to use control + left/right arrows. So it seems with Sierra and Synergy, the control modifier with the arrow keys (up/down/left/right) is broken. Can anyone else confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndsay Weitzel Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Same issue here, on a similar setup: Windows 10 server, 1.8.3 stable MacOS Sierra client, 1.8.3 stable Setting shortcuts in the mac's keyboard preferences from the server's keyboard always works, but some key combinations don't work when you want to use the shortcut. (switching mission control desktops, for example) control + left or right arrow does not switch desktops control + [ or ] does switch desktops command + left or right arrow does not switch desktops command + [ or ] does switch desktops The arrow keys by themselves work, such as when moving the cursor to write this post. Issue appeared after updating to Sierra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Chen Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thanks for the helpful thoughts Lyndsay. I've now just remapped my desktop switch commands to control + [ and ] and mission control to control + m. As a side note, it seems I can't get F12 to work to open the Dashboard...although not really using that anyways. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. Elaine Van Der Wall Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Just wanted to note that I'm experiencing the same issue. Mac OSX Sierra client with Windows 10 x64 server, Control + Arrow keys doesn't switch desktops like it did previously. And F12 doesn't show all the windows anymore either (I forget what that's called lol). I just downloaded and installed synergy-master-stable-a6ff907 from the Nightly builds and it didn't fix the problem. Thanks for the tip on changing the OSX shortcut to use a different key, that's a major part of my workflow too and moving to my client's keyboard (it's a laptop) every time I need to move desktops was slowin' me down!

Johan Jeffery Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Just another report of the same issue. The start of the problem is with the Sierra update. This happens also with Synergy 1.8.2 and 1.8.4. I have a similar configuration, i.e. Windows 7 64-bit as a server with a Mac OSX Sierra client.

Romar Mayer Micabalo Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I have a similar issue wherein ctrl + arrow key do not work on the client. I am using an OS X El Capitan (10.11.6) as the Synergy server, and an macOS Sierra (10.12) as the Synergy client. I have Synergy 1.8.4 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Clark Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I have the same problem. I've got Ubuntu 16.04 as the Synergy Server and Mac OS 10.12 as the Synergy Client.

After trying that. It still didn't work. If I switch the Mac to be the Server and Ubuntu to be the Client, then ctrl-alt-arrow will change the screen on Ubuntu. FYI, ctrl-alt-arrow are the default for Linux while ctrl-arrow are the default for Mac so I just leave the host's keyboard mappings alone and require myself to remember what type of OS my cursor is currently on.

Brian Sayatovic Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I, too, think I am having this problem. I thought I was crazy and alone, but this thread is vindicating me. I'm running 1.8.5 on my server (Windows) and client (Mac OS X Sierra). I had Ctrl+Alt+Cmd+Arrow set in Mac OS X Optimal Layout to move my windows to the left/right halves of the screen. It works from the native Macbook keyboard. And when I'm in a preferences screen configuring a keystroke, it detects it. But when I try to use the keystroke to do the assigned function, nothing happens. When I changed to a non-arrow-key (e.g. "[", "]"), it works fine.

Cyrus Elder Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Same issue here ever since updating to Sierra. Using Synergy 1.8.5-stable-a18eba7 Server: Window 8.1 Client: OSX Sierra When using the keys I see this on the Synergy log on the client: [2016-11-10T10:39:16] INFO: found key in group 0 [2016-11-10T10:39:17] INFO: found key in group 0 [2016-11-10T10:39:17] INFO: found key in group 0 [2016-11-10T10:39:17] INFO: found key in group 0 [2016-11-10T10:39:17] INFO: found key in group 0 [2016-11-10T10:39:18] INFO: found key in group 0 Currently using Command+Tab as a work around.

Nathan Farrar Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 This is also broken for me. Control works on server (MacOSX 12) but not on client (MacOSX 12). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
