Synergy To Do List
|
|
|
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Things to do to synergy, in no particular order:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Provide GUI configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's a GUI tool on win32 but no other platforms. It'd be nice
|
|
|
|
|
if the tool allowed users to drag screen icons around to set the
|
|
|
|
|
links between them, but this complicated because links aren't
|
|
|
|
|
necessarily symmetrical.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Provide taskbar feedback
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
There's a tray icon on win32 for checking synergy's current status
|
|
|
|
|
and to quit synergy. It'd be nice to have something similar on
|
|
|
|
|
X11.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support non-ASCII keyboards
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synergy currently supports only ASCII characters typed on the
|
|
|
|
|
keyboard. It does, however, support Unicode clipboard text.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* Write man/html pages
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Port to other platforms
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Most desired is MacOS X.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Provide a nice win32 installer/uninstaller
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synergy doesn't have any special needs so even just unzipping is
|
|
|
|
|
satisfactory, but a proper installer would be nice. And, more
|
|
|
|
|
importantly, it should provide an uninstaller.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Add more clipboard formats
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synergy currently supports only text on the clipboard. It should
|
|
|
|
|
support more formats, such as images and sound. For each format,
|
|
|
|
|
some canonical type must be chosen. For text, that's UTF-8 with
|
|
|
|
|
\n for newlines. For images, it might be BMP or PNG. Whatever it
|
|
|
|
|
is it should losslessly support any type it might be converted to.
|
|
|
|
|
The type is converted to each platform's native type. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
BMP for images on win32.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Keyboard shortcuts to jump from screen to screen
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then there are major new features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Provide a KVM mode
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this mode synergy would share the monitor in addition to the
|
|
|
|
|
keyboard and mouse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Add encryption and authentication
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Make synergy is safe to use on untrusted networks. Using synergy
|
|
|
|
|
through SSH can provide this until synergy has it built-in.
|
2003-01-18 16:21:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for limited drag and drop between systems
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for (virtual) terminals on unix
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This would be useful in KVM mode to administer several remote
|
|
|
|
|
headless systems that you don't want running X just so synergy
|
|
|
|
|
can work.
