Antonio Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hi I have a feeling this may be a windows problem rather than synergy, but here goes! I have 2 X windows 10 machines running synergy, it seems that the backslash and pipe characters are not recieved by certain applications. Notepad++, cmd, cmd(as admin), notepad, word all receive and print the character as expected. a putty ssh connection and cygwin do not print the character, I can enter the characters using the client keyboard so the apps can display but for some reason they ignore synergy. any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Typically I've found a partial solution just after I posted! playing around with the keyboard options in putty, disabling "Control-Alt is different from AltGr" seems to now allow me to enter | and \ chars into a putty session. cygwin also has an option "ctrl+leftalt is altgr" which fixes the issue, just need to fix vmware now!
