Karabiner-elements: Using Synergy to control a Mac, the remote keyboard is not available as a device and thus Karabiner cannot react to input

Created on 1 Jul 2020 · 4Comments · Source: pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements

Synergy is a software that allows you to use a single mouse/kbd with a number of networked machines.

My setup:
Synergy server on a Windows PC
Synergy client on Mac with Karabiner

Is it possible to somehow add Synergy as a device that Karabiner can react to?

I just started using Karabiner so I (currently) have no idea of the complexity of managing this.

+1, I would love to be able to control my Mac from my main Windows computer using Synergy/Barrier, whilst still being able to use my Karabiner keybindings. Without Karabiner I'm pretty much useless on a Mac.

Is this anywhere on the radar going forward?

My issue with this is that if I switch to russian layout then some of the letters still stay in English.
So far I haven't figured out why per se, but it would help if Karabiner would idenfify Barrier as an input source, if that's possible.
