Shared Clipboard and More With Synergy
June 28, 2006 | 9 Comments
OK, everyone is blogging about Synergy. Frankly Synergy is one of the coolest software utilities I’ve ever used.
Ever felt the desire to share a clipboard between two computers? On different operating systems? With the same keyboard and mouse? as simply as having multiple monitors on your desk? If you wanted any sub section of those things than Synergy is for you.
In about 15 minutes I managed to setup my Mac running OS X, my Windows XP laptop, and my Windows XP desktop to use Synergy. Suddenly my single keyboard and mouse could simply and seamlessly navigate between all three systems doing happy copy and paste across them. Words can’t express how freeing this setup can be.
The best part… Synergy is free, open source software and requires absolutely no additional hardware or gadgets to get running. It’s easy, you can go do it right now. If you are running multiple machines I highly recommend it.
