Using Mac as Server, Ubuntu and PC as Clients


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Can anyone share how to setup mapping for Mac as the server, and Ubuntu and PC as Clients?  I tried searching and it seems all I can find is the inverse.

My goal is to be able to use my mac keystrokes do the familiar thing on PC/Ubuntu, so:

  • ⌘-C, -X, and ⌘-V on Mac --->  Copy/Cut/Paste on PC/Ubuntu
  • ⌘-T on Mac ---> New Browser Tabs on PC/Ubuntu
  • Control-C on Mac ---> Ctrl-C on Ubuntu Shells to terminate processes
  • There maybe others...

Thanks.

I use that exact setup. And no particular mapping -- it just works.

Really?  With no key mapping on PC or Mac:

⌘-V on Mac ---> Paste from Shared Buffer between machines

⌘-C on mac -->  does NOT copy selected text on PC.  Ditto for ⌘-X

⌘-T on Mac --->  does NOT open new tab in PC browser

Yup.

Ctrl-C on PC -> ⌘-V on Mac copy - and -pastes from PC to Mac.
⌘-C on Mac -> Ctrl-V on PC copy - and - pastes from Mac to PC.

Can't speak for ⌘-T ... never tried it... but try Ctrl-T.
