Under Synergy v1.8.5, this does not work as well.

Unfortunately, this problem makes Synergy completely useless to me.Īfter some more investigation, I found the following on this issue. I used a keyboard event tester program in Windows to show me exactly what Windows is receiving in Parallels. The program I used is part of a Thrustmaster product called TARGET (the TARGET Event Tester program), but there are several such programs available. Basically, it shows what keys have been pressed, in what order, and for how long. I also displayed the Mac OS Keyboard Viewer.
