My development environment composed of a Linux desktop and a Windows laptop. Sometimes we need copy some information from one computer to the other. I use synergy to finish this job.
On Ubuntu linux, I install it. A configuration file .synergy.conf need put to the user's home directory.
The .synergy.conf looks like:
section: screens
cheney-desktop:
cheney-laptop:
end
section: links
cheney-desktop:
right = cheney-laptop
cheney-laptop:
left = cheney-desktop
end
After configuration , then start with command: synergys
On the Windows, use client to connect the server, then can share the keyboard and mouse.
