Share the mouse and keyboard between hosts using synergy

Today, I used one to make me feelVery shockingSoftware: synergy!

Simply put, the function of this software isShare the mouse and keyboard on the same computer among n computers. Unlike the extended desktop, the extended desktop is a host that pulls more than two monitors. The software uses a mouse key to control more than two hosts. (I have seen an IBM keyboard for medical instruments that can control several workstations. It looks like tens of thousands .)

Students like ours in computer science generally have two computers. For example, I have a lab desktop and a notebook. When I take my laptop to the lab, I always get worried.
Place my laptop's external keyboard and external mouse (I don't like to use my laptop's own keyboard, I can just lie half in the chair back and type with an external mouse ). There are two keyboards and two mice at the bottom of your hand, always think of one
Which one should I use now. With this small software, my laptop and desktop can share the desktop keyboard, so that I don't have to pay attention to the keyboard and mouse of the machine I am using. It feels great!

Another amazing feature is:Supports sharing clipboard. Because mostProgramStaff use more than two monitors to writeCodeAt the same time in another
Reading documents or webpages on the display, we use more than two computers. If the clipboard can be shared between two computers, add NFS or
Samba. In most cases, this is no different from dragging two monitors on a computer (it may be more convenient, for example, you can run Linux at one end and windows at one end ).

For details about this software, see the following two blogs: Share the keyboard and mouse of two computers with synergy and share the mouse with synergy.

You need to explain the concept that synergy is prone to confusion: server refers to the host that is shared with the mouse keyboard. For example, I use a desktop as the server, and client refers to the host that uses the mouse key of the server.

When using quicksynery, note that the client must be specified for the server-side quicksynery.
The location where the host is located. For example, if you want the notebook to be on the left, enter the host name of the notebook on the left, but you do not need to specify the Server IP address; client quicksynery
You only need to specify the Server IP address, but do not need to select the relative location of the machine. In addition, after the connection attempt fails, you must kill all the synery processes in the background. It is best to start it using the command line.
Quicksynery finds errors through screen display.

The latest version of quicksynery is 0.8, and the middle version of ubuntu repository is 0.6. If you encounter an error when using quicksynery or want to use an updated version, you can download my own compiled and packaged quicksynery 0.8: http://share.solrex.cn/ibuild/quicksynergy_0.8_i386.deb from my shared website.
