Synergy on the Mac doesn’t have a UI, which isn’t a big deal for me since I am comfortable with the command line.

The Linux PC is currently off to the side as well, but I will probably add it back in at a later time. Now that I’ve got this spiffy new MacBook, the Mac Mini will get relegated to the workbench. This arragement has worked well except for the fact the clipboard would not synchronize on the Mac with anything else. Also, you can cut and paste text between the computers, which is a huge bonus. But you can arrange it so that when you move the mouse to one edge on one computer, it pops up on an edge of the other computer.

It’s kind of a software KVM except that you still need a physical screen for each computer. This allows me to use the keyboard on the Linux box on the other two computers. The Linux box was the “server” in this arrangement and the others were clients. Just use your computer with ShareMouse in any workplace without ever touching the configuration.For a while now I’ve been using a program called Synergy to share a keyboard between a Mac Mini, Linux laptop, and Windows laptop. If you use a computer at home and in the office, ShareMouse automatically creates separate monitor profiles for each work environment and automatically switches to the monitor profile that fits to the current location. ShareMouse offers you the seamless monitor positioning as you know it from the Windows Display Properties: Simply touch the mouse or keyboard of any PC which instantly turns into a "master" without any re-configuration. With ShareMouse, all computers are equal - Any PC can control any other PC in any direction at any time: ShareMouse doesn't restrict computers into static "master" and "slave" roles that limit the direction of remote control. That's it! Fire up ShareMouse and just use it as you think it should work! ShareMouse works in any direction Just move the mouse into the direction of the PC you wish to control: ShareMouse analyzes your mouse movements to automatically determine the position of your monitors on your desktop: The clipboard of all other computers remain untouched unless you want them synced. This allows you to choose a specific target computer to paste the remote clipboard contents to prevent accidental clipboard data loss. With ShareMouse, the transmission is initiated with the paste action and not the copy action.
ShareMouse also supports formatted text, bitmaps, files and file folders.Īnother benefit: Other clipboard synchronization utilities may overwrite the clipboard of all remote computers even if you want to perform clipboard operations on your local computer only. ShareMouse synchronizes the clipboard between multiple computers: ShareMouse takes care of the rest and sends the files by using your existing network connection. It is really that easy: Just click any files and drag them to the remote computer of your choice. ShareMouse allows you to drag & drop files and folders between computers: Watch in Youtube Drag & Drop Files between Computers
ShareMouse also allows you to synchronize logging in/out a computer on all your other PCs and Macs: It looks like "the same thing" but ShareMouse has a quite different approach under the hood.
