That looks nice! But there are two downsides:
- Your solution requires Synergy. In my experience, Synergy has been buggy--or at least extremely finicky--every time I've tried it since release circa 2001. When it comes to input devices, I want things to be basically flawless. So I like this very simple fix better.
- The posted solution is cross-platform between Mac and Windows, which is a common use case. Yours relies on Autohotkey, which is awesome on Windows but, last I checked, terrible on Mac OS.
- m0shen 6y agoYeah, fair points. Every now and then I have to stop/start Synergy for it to work. Since my mouse/keyboard remain connected to my Windows machine, it can act as the "server" and issue the DCC to the monitor to switch when my key combo is hit. So I only ever run it on the Windows box.
- kitsunesoba 6y agoThe other thing about Synergy is that it's a bit of a question mark in terms of security, even with encryption enabled (at least that I've seen — would be happy to be corrected!)
