A successful connection is indicated by the following icons in the notification area of the Mac and PC. Now that IвЂ™ve configured everything IвЂ™m ready to start my client and cross my fingers. Here i configure Synergy as a client by specifying the screen name of my Synergy server (My PC). On my Macbook I access SynergyKM by clicking System Preferences -> SynergyKM. Once IвЂ™ve clicked OK, IвЂ™m ready to start my server by clicking the Start button. I choose the left because my MacBook is located physically to the left of my systems dual monitor setup. The position you choose (top, bottom, left or right) will determine where youвЂ™ll need to move your pointer in order to switch over to your client systemsвЂ™ mouse and keyboard. Once created, you can choose a position for clients. Then double-click a grid position to create a new client and specify its screen name including any hostname aliases it may have. In the configuration dialog, double-click the monitor icon in the center to configure the server. At work my primary system is the PC, so here I configure Synergy+ as a server by checking the Server check-box and clicking Configure ServerвЂ¦ Get Synergy+ for Windows and SynergyKM for Mac. Unfortunately you canвЂ™t drag applications or windows between Synergy connected systems (because that would be magic), but you can copy and paste between them.

If move your pointer to the left end of your primary screen, for instance, Synergy can be configured to switch over to another computers mouse and keyboard making it feel as though that system is an extension of your desktop. WhatвЂ™s great about Synergy is its ability to switch seamlessly from your primary computerвЂ™s keyboard and mouse to another computerвЂ™s and back whenever your cursor exits or enters the screen.

I have two different environments I use Synergy for, but my work environment is probably the best example to demonstrate.ДЄt work вЂ“ I have a Windows PC and want to extend the desktop to my personal MacBook which I bring to work. Its server/client architecture let you extend the reach of your mouse and keyboard to other computers. ItвЂ™s a cross platform open source application that lets you control a systems mouse and keyboard through the network. Want to add your notebook to an existing display environment? Then Synergy is for you.
