With synergy, all the computers on your desktop form a single virtual
|
||
|
|
screen. You use the mouse and keyboard of only one of the computers
|
||
|
|
while you use all of the monitors on all of the computers.
|
||
|
|
You tell synergy how many screens you have and their positions relative
|
||
|
|
to one another. Synergy then detects when the mouse moves off
|
||
|
|
the edge of a screen and jumps it instantly to the neighboring screen.
|
||
|
|
The keyboard works normally on each screen; input goes to whichever
|
||
|
|
screen has the cursor.
|
||
|
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
|
In this example, the user is moving the mouse from left to right.
|
||
|
|
When the cursor reaches the right edge of the left screen it jumps
|
||
|
|
instantly to the left edge of the right screen.
|
||
|
|

</p><p>
|
||
|
|
You can arrange screens side-by-side, above and below one another,
|
||
|
|
or any combination. You can even have a screen jump to the opposite
|
||
|
|
edge of itself. Synergy also understands multiple screens attached
|
||
|
|
to the same computer.
|
||
|
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
|
Running a game and don't want synergy to jump screens? No problem.
|
||
|
|
Just toggle Scroll Lock. Synergy keeps the cursor on the same screen
|
||
|
|
when Scroll Lock is on. (This can be configured to another hot key.)
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
Do you wish you could cut and paste between computers? Now you can!
|
||
|
|
Just copy text, HTML, or an image as you normally would on one screen
|
||
|
|
then switch to another screen and paste it. It's as if all your
|
||
|
|
computers shared a single clipboard (and separate primary selection for
|
||
|
|
you X11 users). It even converts newlines to each computer's native
|
||
|
|
form so cut and paste between different operating systems works
|
||
|
|
seamlessly. And it does it all in Unicode so any text can be copied.
|
||
|

|
Do you use a screen saver? With synergy all your screen savers act in
|
||
|
|
concert. When one starts they all start. When one stops they all
|
||
|
|
stop. And, if you require a password to unlock the screen, you'll
|
||
|
|
only have to enter a password on one screen.
|
||
|
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
|
If you regularly use multiple computers on one desk, give synergy a
|
||
|
|
try. You'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
