Synergy operates as a kind of 'nonkeyboard' on the Mac, so, attempts made to alter configurations for virtual keyboards end up going nowhere.īut always keep an eye out for automatic overwriting of changes made by Synergy 2 when the service restarts and set things to read-only.Edit the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ctrl to add the following lines to swap Right Alt with Right Ctrl key: // Swap the functions of the right Alt key and the right Ctrl key. If I could just figure out if the Fn key sends any form of Unicode, I might have a chance of figuring it out, but that's mysteriously missing from the bulk of documentation I've looked at thus far.
#SWAP COMMAND AND CONTROL MAC TRIAL#
I have found via trial and error that not 100% of the featues in Synergy 1 that are controlled by the nf file do work in Synergy 2, so it may be a little hit or miss.įor example, Aliases were a no-go for me, and I have yet to figure out a way to map the Fn key on the Mac keyboard so as to access some of the other Fn+F4/Fn+F5 keystrokes. Perhaps your solution, if it was a feature in Synergy 1, might be found in one of the documentation bits there. I found the solution by going through their Synergy Github repository and experimenting with what was documented as supported for Synergy 1. I did verify that this manually controlled the key output. I thought this was for fixing Parallels not functioning correctly when running on a Synergy Mac Client. This wasn't the solution I thought it was. I'd worship you if you can get me early access to The Outer Worlds so I could get a jumpstart on streaming it! If you work for a company that's awesome (hello to any animation companies, 3d printing companies, etc.) and can send a discount or silly postcard my way, that's especially awesome. * And now for a selfish plug - if you find that this solution saves you time, throw me a follow on Twitch or Instagram (cautionary_snail) - it's free, and follows make me happy since I work hard on my photos, and will be trying to build a Twitch channel soon. Note that if you change your setup later, you're going to have to undo this change (let Synergy edit the file), make the setup changes, and reapply it. I'm going to post this on other related threads to help others as well. I had it nuke my test files several times before I realized what was happening. SET nf THE FILE TO READ ONLY - this is key, since otherwise your changes will get overwritten as soon as the Synergy service restarts.Go to C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME HERE\AppData\Local\Symless\SynergyĮdit the nf file as follows for the destination Mac under section: screens Stop the Synergy service running in the background.
#SWAP COMMAND AND CONTROL MAC WINDOWS#
Windows key 'alt' will be the 'control' key on the Mac client Windows key 'Windows' will be the 'option key' on the Mac client Windows key 'control' will be 'command' on the Mac client These settings assume you're using a Windows system as the server, and the Mac system is the client. This took quite a bit of troubleshooting, and it's a bit of a hack. Unfortunately, this does not seem to work for me and might be a bug in the latest Synergy that might have been caused by macOS High Sierra? In any case, double clicking the machines in my server configuration interface does not seem to do anything.I eventually found this post and found the following issues here: I was able to find a number of articles (here and elsewhere) that indicate I should be able to double-click on the machines in the Synergy configuration screen.
#SWAP COMMAND AND CONTROL MAC UPDATE#
Please update this error message to more accurately reflect what's going on. To change additional keyboards, simply select the additional keyboard from the Select keyboard: dropdown and repeat this step. I found this forum from external search engine results, and was immediately blocked from searching anonymously by some message that indicated I need to wait 4 seconds before performing another search, but in reality, I was not permitted to search after any amount of waiting until I signed into the forum with my account. To remap the fn key to ctrl in macOS, change the Function (fn) Key: dropdown to Control. Please update the website main navigation to include direct links into installation, FAQ or troubleshooting content. Hiding the forums behind a "Help" button that looks more like a "Support Ticket" isn't the right way to do this. I'm certain this is not an unusual request and I'd rather not trigger an individual support ticket that just gets repeated over and over. I was unable to find links on to any documentation whatsoever.
#SWAP COMMAND AND CONTROL MAC HOW TO#
Please do not respond with advice on how to remap physical keys directly on Ubuntu, I already know how to do this, but do not wish to. I only want the keys to be remapped when I'm controlling Ubuntu from the macOS physical keyboard. I do not want to remap the keys directly on my secondary laptop (Ubuntu) settings because the physical (local) key maps should remain consistent and familiar.
