Synergy compatibility #39

Open figadore opened 3 years ago

figadore commented 3 years ago

This app works great from within Windows, but when I share my keyboard with another computer using Synergy, the ctrl functionality doesn't work. I've tried the sharpkeys workaround, which fixed the problem where caps lock was getting triggered when I hit that key on the other computer, but now caps lock only functions as escape. I didn't have this problem with caps2esc (but had other problems, which led me to this app). I thought it might be related to the issue where it doesn't work with admin programs, but even right-clicking and running dual-key-remap.exe as admin has the same result. Any idea what's going on here? Any additional troubleshooting steps I can try?

Happy to look into this, but first I'll need a Synergy key to test this (or get a PR from someone who has Synergy).

Same problem exists on the free, open-source alternative, Barrier

Thanks @figadore! I'll give this a shot sometime and will see if it's a a lot work to implement.

I have the same problem with barrier.

~this appears to be fixed in synergy v3, but it would still be great to get working with barrier~

never mind, esc works as expected, but ctrl still does not
