If they’re password-protected, unlocking one will unlock all the others. You just designate which one sets the timing. If you use screen savers, Synergy can have them work in unison (sort of ‘synergistically’). When you want to switch back, press again to turn it off. If you find the mouse jumping between screens, pressing will keep the cursor on the current screen. It doesn’t support drag and drop, because, according to the Synergy Web site, it’s very difficult and would probably take a long time to implement. It works seamlessly, so you don’t even know you’re working on different computers and (perhaps) different operating systems.

(If not, we can help there, too.)Īside from using the same keyboard and mouse, you can cut and paste text, images, and code between the different computers. If you’re working with more than one computer, chances are pretty good that you’re already on a network. It’s necessary to have all of the computers on the same TCP/IP network. In my ‘synergistic’ group, for instance, I’m running MS Windows XP, 2000 and Ubuntu Linux.

Synergy works with any combination of the following operating systems: Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP Mac OS X 10.2 or higher and Unix, Linux, Solaris and other variants. And the best part? It’s free! It’s developed under the open source GNU Public License (GPL). The computers don’t even have to be running the same operating systems. It allows a user to share one keyboard and one mouse with multiple computers. It is a built from-scratch reimplementation of an older program called CosmoSynergy. Synergy is the creation of Chris Schoeneman. Cooperative interaction among groups, especially among the acquired subsidiaries or merged parts of a corporation, that creates an enhanced combined effect.

The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.

And it’s pretty simple to do, you just need to have a bit of synergy. Why can’t we use one keyboard and one mouse for two or more different computers? Well, actually you can. Many people have two monitors for one keyboard and one mouse.

Also, it would be nice to do a screen capture on one computer and paste it into a document on another. Switching between the different keyboards and mice can be a bit tedious, especially if you have a few slide-out drawers. I use three: two desktops and one laptop. Many people use more than one computer for writing, programming, designing and Web development.
