In Synergy, how to place a clinet screen in the middle of two server screens?
In synergy, how to configure a PC server with two screens and a Mac client with one screen in a way that places the Mac screen (the client) in the middle of the two PC screens (the server) ?
P.S.:
- Synergy version: 1.10.1-stable-8941241e
- I'm not bothered about the mouse going around the corners as in here. Also, I don't understand what this question means by "line up !"

Basically, with your screens being, from left to right, PC-1, Mac-1 and PC-2 (or just PC and Mac, as far as Synergy is concerned), you want a configuration that says:
- Synergy: PC is left of Mac is left of PC (and vice versa)
- Windows: PC-2 is left of PC-1
By putting the screens in the “wrong” order in Windows, you enable Synergy to intercept the mouse in the middle.
The Synergy setup would look something like this:
section: screens
Mac:
switchCorners = none
switchCornerSize = 40
PC:
switchCorners = none
switchCornerSize = 40
end
section: links
Mac:
left(0,100) = PC(0,100)
right(0,100) = PC(0,100)
PC:
left(0,100) = Mac(0,100)
right(0,100) = Mac(0,100)
end
section: options
keystroke(Control+Alt+KP_Multiply) = lockCursorToScreen(toggle)
end
This is the solution that this answer refers to.

It’s a complete.sgcfile that you can load as a Synergy configuration. You may have to change the screen names.

I managed to change the order of the two PC screens (even though, thanks to you, it's not necessary with this .sgc file). Now I have the setup as I wanted :) Thank you
