michael janzen 0 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hello, first config: I am using Synergy V1.8.3 Server on a Raspberry Pi and two 1.8.4 client on Windows 7 64 bit machines. Language and keyboard- layout on all systems the same: German. The first time all "normal" keys (a-z, 1-9) working fine. Also Z and Y keys are o.k. Only the ALTGR keys (@, |, ~...) did not work. For example: If I pressed ALTGR+Q, Synergy write "2" on my textfile or word- document (on my keyboard, ALTGR+Q = @). I try to input the ALT = ALTGR and ALTGR= ALT on synergy config- file, but without success. After a while the Synergy- system goes crazy: Z and Y keys has changed, no ß- key available. It looks like that the complete keyboard layout changed. 2nd config: If I use a Synergy server on a Windows 7 64Bit machine instead Raspberry pi (Linux), no problem with AltGR keys on all clients. For me the Raspi pi Synergy server would be a great solution because the power consumption are very low (in compare to a normal PC that I use only as a Synergy Server). Any Ideas?

michael janzen 0 Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hi Guys, I have read some other threads and find a solution for my German layout problem. Add "altgr = shift" for all screens in your config file. For me the solution works fine, some very special key I can input by a local virtual keyboard. section screens: ...... altgr = shift Greetings Michael Link to post Share on other sites
pepptart 0 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Thats it! I am uninstalling synergy and going with a KVM switch, after trying all possible workarounds for a Server on Win10 and a client on Linux without any luck! Many keyboard languages use AltGr to enter a | (pipe) like one of the most important chars on linux. And you haven't solved it ? just WOW! Link to post Share on other sites
