The synergy server requires configuration. It will try certain
|
|
|
|
pathnames to load the configuration file if you don't specify a
|
|
|
|
path using the <span class="code">--config</span> command line
|
|
|
|
option. <span class="code">synergys --help</span> reports those
|
|
|
|
pathnames.

|
|
|
The configuration file is a plain text file. Use any text editor
|
|
|
|
to create the configuration file. The file is broken into sections
|
|
|
|
and each section has the form:
|
2007-06-17 11:19:18 +00:00
|
|
|
<span class="codeblock">
|
2004-08-01 16:00:18 +00:00
|
|
|
section: <span class="arg">name</span>
|
|
|
|
<span class="arg">args</span>
|
|
|
|
end
|
2007-06-17 11:19:18 +00:00
|
|
|
</span>
|
2004-08-01 16:00:18 +00:00
|
|
|
Comments are introduced by <span class="code">#</span> and continue to
|
|
|
|
the end of the line. <span class="arg">name</span> must be one of the
|
|
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
<ul class="code">
|
|
|
|
<li>screens
|
|
|
|
<li>aliases
|
|
|
|
<li>links
|
|
|
|
<li>options
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
See below for further explanation of each section type. The
|
|
|
|
configuration file is case-sensitive so <span class="code">Section</span>,
|
|
|
|
<span class="code">SECTION</span>, and <span class="code">section</span>
|
|
|
|
are all different and only the last is valid. Screen names are the
|
|
|
|
exception; screen names are case-insensitive.
|

|
|
|
</p><p>
|
2004-08-01 16:00:18 +00:00
|
|
|
The file is parsed top to bottom and names cannot be used before
|
|
|
|
they've been defined in the <span class="code">screens</span> or
|
|
|
|
<span class="code">aliases</span> sections. So the
|
|
|
|
<span class="code">links</span> and <span class="code">aliases</span>
|
|
|
|
must appear after the <span class="code">screens</span> and links
|
|
|
|
cannot refer to aliases unless the <span class="code">aliases</span>
|
|
|
|
appear before the <span class="code">links</span>.

|
2004-08-01 16:00:18 +00:00
|
|
|
<span class="arg">args</span> is a list of screen names, one name per
|
|
|
|
line, each followed by a colon. Names are arbitrary strings but they
|
|
|
|
must be unique. The hostname of each computer is recommended. (This
|
|
|
|
is the computer's network name on win32 and the name reported by the
|
|
|
|
program <span class="code">hostname</span> on Unix and OS X. Note
|
|
|
|
that OS X may append <span class="code">.local</span> to the name you
|
|
|
|
gave your computer; e.g. <span class="code">somehost.local</span>.)
|
|
|
|
There must be a screen name for the server and each client. Each
|
|
|
|
screen can specify a number of options. Options have the form
|
|
|
|
<span class="code"><span class="arg">name</span> =
|
|
|
|
<span class="arg">value</span></span> and are listed one per line
|
|
|
|
after the screen name.

<span class="code">larry</span>, and <span class="code">curly</span>.
|
|

Num Lock keys (see below) and screen <span class="code">curly</span>
|

This computer has a Caps Lock key that doesn't report a
|
|
|
|
press and a release event when the user presses it but
|
|
|
|
instead reports a press event when it's turned on and a
|
|
|
|
release event when it's turned off. If Caps Lock acts
|
|
|
|
strangely on all screens then you may need to set this
|
|
|
|
option to <span class="code">true</span>
|
|
|
|
on the server screen. If it acts strangely on one
|
|
|
|
screen then that screen may need the option set to
|
|
|
|
<span class="code">true</span>.

synergy uses Scroll Lock to keep the cursor on the current screen. That

is, when Scroll Lock is toggled on, the cursor is locked to the screen
|

that it's currently on. You can use that to prevent accidental switching.

You can also configure other hot keys to do that; see <a href="#lockCursor">

This option works around a bug in the XTest extension
|
|
|
|
when used in combination with Xinerama. It affects
|
|
|
|
X11 clients only. Not all versions of the XTest
|
|
|
|
extension are aware of the Xinerama extension. As a
|
|
|
|
result, they do not move the mouse correctly when
|
|
|
|
using multiple Xinerama screens. This option is
|
|
|
|
currently <span class="code">true</span> by default. If
|
|
|
|
you know your XTest extension is Xinerama aware then set
|
|
|
|
this option to <span class="code">false</span>.

Map a modifier key pressed on the server's keyboard to
|
|
|

a different modifier on this client. This option only
|

has an effect on a client screen; it's accepted and
|
|
|
|
ignored on the server screen.

You can map, say, the shift key to shift (the default),
|
2007-06-17 11:19:18 +00:00
|
|
|
ctrl, alt, meta, super or nothing. Normally, you
|
2004-08-01 16:00:18 +00:00
|
|
|
wouldn't remap shift or ctrl. You might, however, have
|
|
|
|
an X11 server with meta bound to the Alt keys. To use
|
|
|
|
this server effectively with a windows client, which
|
|
|
|
doesn't use meta but uses alt extensively, you'll want
|
|
|
|
the windows client to map meta to alt (using
|
|
|
|
<span class="code">meta = alt</span>).

screen name lookup each alias is equivalent to the screen name it

aliases. So a client can connect using its canonical screen name

or any of its aliases.

Each side of a link can specify a range which defines a portion

It's possible to configure a screen with no outgoing links; the
|
|
|
|
cursor will get stuck on that screen unless you have a hot key
|
|
|
|
configured to switch off of that screen.

Synergy won't switch screens when the mouse reaches the edge of

the screen if it's in a listed corner. The size of all corners
|

is given by the <span class="code">switchCornerSize</span>

option.

Corners are specified by a list using the following names:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li><span class="code">none</span> -- no corners
|
|
|
|
<li><span class="code">top-left</span> -- the top left corner
|

<li><span class="code">top-right</span> -- the top right corner

The first name in the list is one of the above names and defines

|
the initial set of corners. Subsequent names are prefixed with
|
|
|
|
+ or - to add the corner to or remove the corner from the set,

starts will all corners, removes the left corners (top and bottom)

bottom-left and bottom-right corners.

<a name="actions">Actions</a> are two lists of individual actions separated
|
|
|
|
by commas. The two lists are separated by a semicolon. Either list can be
|
|
|
|
empty and if the second list is empty then the semicolon is optional. The
|
|
|
|
first list lists actions to take when the condition becomes true (e.g. the

|
|
|
hot key or mouse button is pressed) and the second lists actions to take
|
|
|
|
when the condition becomes false (e.g. the hot key or button is released).
|

The condition becoming true is called activation and becoming false is

called deactivation.
