zollska 0 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I'm mostly a mac user but for some programs i have to use windows. I have a separate windows machine at my desk. I have an external monitor for my macbook pro and I mainly use it in clam-shell mode, with a wired mac keyboard. I wanted to use my win 10 pc as a server so i hooked up my mac keyboard and managed to install part of apples boot camp app so i have my volume, and other media keys working as if installed windows on a mac. Now, the problem is that when i use synergy and my mac is a client my keyboards function keys don't work when im over at os x. Does anybody have a similar problem or a solution for this?

torq 0 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Hi, I've just installed fabulous Synergy, and I'm in the same situation (running Win-PC as Synergy server for Mac). Here's a web page at Microsoft support that seems to be useful: "PC keyboard on a Macintosh". Turns out that the Windows key works as the Command key. So "Win+Shift+3" works as COMMAND+SHIFT+3 and so on... Edited October 12, 2017 by torq Link to post Share on other sites

Taksha 1 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Did you try: use a little software that emulates the apple keys (like macomfort or else) - the result for me was: i can use any keyboard for both machines (mac & win) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
