Keyboard shortcut for switching screens using synergy

Question

I work much more efficiently when I don't have to take my hands off the keyboard. I know that others do as well.

I found three issues in the synergy tracking system requesting a hotkey for switching screens: issues 866, 915, and 2279. All three issues are closed as a duplicate of a mysterious RFE 702597. Where is this secret enhancement request? What's its status?

Who else would find mouse-free operation helpful?

Solution 1

According to the old config guide (page now deleted, but archived at the Way Back Machine) you can achieve this with config options like this:

keystroke(alt+left) = switchInDirection(left)
keystroke(shift+control+alt+super) = switchToScreen(moe)

Solution 2

This functionality can be added on the windows version by launching Synergy from the start menu and selecting "HotKeys" from the options pane.

Confirmed works with 1.4.10, with a Mac slave on a Windows host. Excellent!

Still works. Just to confirm, I put mine in my section: options - I used keystroke(alt+super+right) = switchInDirection(right) (and another for left) and then restarted my synergys - a it all works beautifully!
