Mouse Wrap-around or other support for multi-display client?

[Brad Stowers]

Is there a setting somewhere to that will allow the mouse to wrap around when it hits the edge of a system?  What I'm trying to deal with is 2 systems, but one of them has two displays that bracket the main display.  Something like this:

[Sys2:Disp2]   [Sys1:Disp1]   [Sys2:Disp1]

Using Synergy 3 RC1, I don't see any way to configure more than one display for a client, so my next best idea was to configure Sys2 such that Disp2 is on the right of Disp1 in its native multi-monitor config, and then if I could get Synergy to wrap the mouse around when it hit an edge, it would effectively work.  But, it doesn't seem Syn3 has wrap-around support for the mouse?  What are the odds we could see this in a future version?

Thanks for any info or ideas.

Hi Brad,

I contacted Synergy Support in April 2023 with this question.

They replied: "We are considering adding a wrap option in Synergy 3, although that will probably not be available until after GA. In the meantime, it's possible to support the layout using a custom configuration in Synergy 1."

I therefore did not upgrade to Synergy 3, but I believe the first version is still available to download, which I still use.

Symless offered to help with the process, but I used the principle of the below solution.

It works fine with my old MacBook Pro laptop between a M1 Mac mini with dual monitors (and, as you note, the monitor order reversed).

Thanks much, Richard, I will consider downgrading to v1 and see if I can get the configs you linked to work for me.

Thanks again, it works great using Synergy 1.  Too bad it won't work in the new version.

Hi Brad,

No problem, glad it helped.

Hopefully, this feature will be added to Synergy 3 at a future date.

Cheers,
Richard
