Hypersphere Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Which, if any, keyboard remapping software will work with Synergy? I am using ATNsoft Key Manager 1.10 for Windows 8.1 to remap keyboards to a HHKB layout. This works on the Windows 8.1 server, but the mappings do not work on Windows 8.1 or Linux (Linux Mint 17.2 64-bit Xfce) clients. Does anyone know if other keyboard remapping software works with Synergy? For example, does AutoHotKey (AHK) work? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Axon-Eaves Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Not sure about W8.1 but on my Mint 17.2 I set the Keyboard under preferences>>>keyboard to get the Mint client to work, but I had to enable English (US, alternative international) to match my UK keyboard layout. This then allowed to use @ and £ which were the 2 issues on Mint using synergy, it appears to be a somewhat hit and miss affair, so trying different keyboard layouts on Mint to find what works.

Alexander Gordon Taylor Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Yes, AutoHotKey works to the extent that I am using it. To be clear, in my case I use a Linux/KDE Host, with a Window 8.1→10 Guest running AutoHotKey. Remappings I have set up on the windows guest with AHK work transparently. I have also had success using AHK to trigger keycombos that didn't immediately work via synergy: specifically the Win+L shortcut to lock. I assume if you had a windows host and guest that each instance of AHK would process its own mappings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Mine is the other way around, Windows 10 host and Mint as the client, I found this site which helped me solve my specific problem albeit the site refers to previous versions, http://www.deltanova.co.uk/456/ On my Mint box I installed synergy and quicksynergy via synaptic, and just run synergyc at startup, for me all this works as I just need keyboard and mouse usage.
