Hot key switching

[Jking]

Is there a way to setup Synergy 2 like Synergy 1 where you can flip screens with a hot key. For example i have my original setup to use the Alt+1-3 keys to change between my 3 machines. I do this because on one machine I play video games and when bump the edge of the screen while in a game, it will flip me to my other machines. Having it set to only switch when on the key commands prevents this issue from happening.

 

Here is my config file i use for Synergy 1.8. What can I do to get this same method to work on Synergy 2?

 

 

# Synergy configuration file

# screen definitions
section: screens
        iMac27:
        iMac21:
        PC:
end

# screen orientation/links
section: links
        iMac27:
        iMac21:
        PC:
end

# Options
section: options
    heartbeat = 1000
    relativeMouseMoves = true
    screenSaverSync = true
    win32KeepForeground = true
    clipboardSharing = true
#
        keystroke(alt+1) = switchToScreen(iMac21)
        keystroke(alt+2) = switchToScreen(iMac27)
        keystroke(alt+3) = switchToScreen(PC)
end

@Jking currently there is no hotkeys to have you automatically switch to a screen, however there is a key to lock you to the currently used screen. That is Scroll Lock. While that is on it won't escape the boundaries of the screen it is on. Then you toggle it off, then can move to the next monitor. I believe this topic you bring up has been announced as being added in either the beta 6 or after, but definitely a feature planned on being added for the most part for power users like yourself.
