Krylic Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Synergy 2.0.5 doesn't stick to the computer that control is being "shared from." When the other computer has mouse and keyboard activity it sometimes takes over for some reason on its own. How do i keep the client from stealing control from the server computer?

GranPaSmurf Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Yeah, it bugs me too. The automatic switching of the server is kinda' cool to watch when I accidentally bump one of my backup keyboards, but in my arrangement, it's sort of a solution without a problem.

Answer without a question. If this is intended behavior the Synergy 2 is ruined for me. Guess I'm going back to 1.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I'm currently being plagued by the same behavior. I'm using 2.0 between a Windows desktop (server) and Ubuntu laptop (client), and every time I need to use the laptop I need to open the Synergy application and right-click + choose "Share from [desktop]" on my desktop computer. Unfortunately this is a deal-breaker for me and I'll be seeking a refund if a simple "Always share from this computer" setting won't be added.

Krylic Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 I found another thread where it was said to be planned for 2.1 but i find it crazy that 2.0 launched without it. This is completely broken for me. Seems pretty simple to be able to have a setting "make primary" which syncs to not do the update loop on the movement of mouse or keyboard.

septicdank Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I'm having this issue as well and it is very annoying, and I think I'm going to have to revert to synergy 1.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
