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.
