I have been tinkering around with Synergy today (Windows Desktop Server, OSX Laptop Client) and I must say I am VERY pleased.
However, I have one issue I need to resolve in order to use Synergy at all.
My dollar-sign (Shift+4) is not working.
The key 4 produces the number "4". Shift+4 produces nothing. Not blank--just no reaction whatsoever.
I have verified that Shift works. Shift works with 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and so on. Shift+4 works on the host (Windows).
I have also verified that Shift+4 from the actual laptop keyboard works properly.
Obviously, it is not a "Swapped modifiers" issue, since it works with all the other keys. I really need this to take care of the work I do with PHP, so I would be really glad if someone could assist me in troubleshooting the issue.
Here is the Level 1 debug log from synergys
What you see in this debug is me doing several things:
- Press
Shift - Press
3 - Release
3 - Press
4 - Release
4 - Release
Shift

Not sure if it's a solution or a defeat, but I tried out ShareMouse, and it took care of my problems without any hassle. Perfect switching between host/client layouts and easier setup. Yay. :) Thanks for all the help, people!
When you press Shift-4, the character code 164 is being sent. This is the Unicode currency symbol ¤, which is often reinterpreted to be a pound £ or euro symbol € by the operating system. This suggests that the computer you're typing on is using a non-U.S. keyboard layout. Try switching the computer to use a U.S. keyboard layout.
