Murthy Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hi there, Just bought the license for PRO version. Setup: iMac (Server), rMBP (Client), Magic Mouse 2, Magic Trackpad I can do three finger swipe gestures on the server mac but not on the client mac. Any suggestions/help is appreciated.

Paul Suarez Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Does the client machine support three finger swipe gestures natively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murthy Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Yes. When I connect the trackpad via Bluetooth , it works just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 1 hour ago, Murthy said: Yes. When I connect the trackpad via Bluetooth , it works just fine. This is when you are doing three finger swipe gesture on your server machine while you have the trackpad connected to your client machine, correct?

Murthy Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Think you may have misunderstood my issue. Here it is again: Server : iMac 2017, 27", macOS Sierra, Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad Client: rMBP 2016, macOS Sierra Issue: Can't do three finger gestures like three finger swipe to move desktops on client. So client isn't connected to trackpad .. it is connected to Sever. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 For gestures, I think it needs to have the same hardware on the other machine for it to be recognized since it can have custom actions to perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murthy Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 So you mean, I need to purchase another Magic Trackpad and connect it to the client Mac? Since my client Mac is a laptop it has the trackpad. I am not sure if I am following you properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Sorry for the confusions @Murthy. I tried to dig deeper in to this issue and found this Gestures broken for Magic Mouse on Mac client #2905 . It was confirmed to be a bug and our developers are doing the best they can to have a fix for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXSteveO Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Any update on this topic? It's been nearly a year, and the link to that #2905 is broken... I'd love to have Synergy pass gestures between my mac server and my mac client... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Richard John Allen Posted May 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2018 Actually its been many years, and keeps being promised in the "next release" - always sliding out to the right as more interesting problems come along. Guys- this is really important to Mac users. At least every few minutes they try to do something with their trackpad that should work, but doesn't and they end up hating the limitations of the current releases. Even if you only make this work mac to mac, please could you prioritise actually fixing this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIchard Kaplan Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Any update? This is a really, really important issue for Mac users 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watters Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Just figured I'd add another voice to the chorus of "please make the full range of trackpad gestures work on Mac". Or, at least make it clearer that they DO NOT work. It's really quite awkward to have to adjust to certain things feeling missing/broken on all macs but the server. In my case, my "client" machines are not infrequently used or of lesser priority—both machines are fairly fundamental to my workflow, and it would be great if we could use the gestures on both. Thanks for your consideration. (This is one of those situations where source code access would be great, too, as I could explore fixing it myself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Tran Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Moved to Feature Ideas to better reflect the nature of this post. It's my understanding that gesture support is coming in Synergy 3, which should be fully available in 2022 and as an alpha later this year or early next year.

Popular Post eancker Posted January 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2020 Funny how this has had so many voices and it's only now (possibly) coming in two more years. Today was my first use of this product, and the three-finger gesture was the first issue I found. Purchase, install, connection were all relatively smooth, then I hit the black hole of three-finger gesture. You'd have a pretty great product if it just did this one last thing. Now you are left with a product that people will eventually leave for a silly reason like not taking a few weeks to fix a limitation. You are supposed to be fixing customer problems, this is clearly a customer problem. It doesn't just annoy people it removes a simple feature they use daily. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 This is my number one pain point with this otherwise awesome product. I'd be willing to pay double if it means this feature is enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEC Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 New user, purchased just today, ran into this within 10 minutes (part of normal work flow on two macs), now after a refund... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Doddridge Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Just purchased and came across this problem within 2 mins, running iMac & MBP, MPB runs parallels so switching desktops quickly and easily is crucial for me. This thread is 4.5 years old, isn't it time you address this relatively simple issue which is causing many people a lot of pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Would really love this, too. I was using ctrl-rightarrow and ctrl-leftarrow for navigating but it appears my upgrade to 1.14.2 caught me with a bug where key combinations don't work. R\I've already requested downgrade to 1.14.0 due to inverted scrolling problem. Hope that fixes this, too. For now, I switched keyboard shortcuts for Mission Control to use other than ctrl-arrow keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I just found an RC was available for 1.14.3. Installed it for Mac Monterey and Fedora. Control-arrow problem seems to be resolved. This leaves me back to starting point looking for all of the Mac Trackpad gestures to be passed to clients tho now the standard keyboard controls are working again.

sousastep Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I'd like to map my Mac's three-finger swipe to Windows' Task View keyboard shortcut. To generalize, being able to map Mac touchpad gestures to Windows keyboard commands would be swell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnixOutlaw Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Here's what I do when I'm WFH (so I can use gestures etc) : Left : Personal MacBook Pro M1 (no Synergy software running) Middle : Work MacBook Pro M1 (Synergy Server), Magic Keyboard 2, Magic Trackpad 2 and Microsoft "Modern Mobile Mouse" Right : Ubuntu 22.04 Ryzen desktop (synergy client) Right/Bottom : Ubuntu 22.10 Ryzen Thinkpad (synergy client) I use BOTH "Universal Control" - and - Synergy at the same time! i.e. the leftmost MacBook doesn't run Synergy - I use Universal Control on the middle MacBook to control the left one (which naturally enough - supports ALL gestures - e.g. three finger sideways for desktops, upwards for mission control). Here's what I'm hoping for - in Synergy "eventually" - GESTURE support - AND - WAYLAND! Edited November 29, 2022 by UnixOutlaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
