Synergy isn't able to capture ctrl+alt+del on PC compatible
systems because it's handled completely differently than
other keystrokes. If you need to use ctrl+alt+del you'll
have to keep your other keyboards handy just for that.
Future versions may add support for or some equivalent to
ctrl+alt+del.
other keystrokes. However, when the mouse is on a client
screen, pressing ctrl+alt+pause will simulate ctrl+alt+del
on the client. (A client running on Windows NT, 2000, or XP
must be running as a service for this to work.)

Some systems treat the Caps-Lock and Num-Lock keys differently
than all the others. Whereas most keys report going down when
physically pressed and going up when physically released, the
Caps-Lock and Num-Lock keys report going down when being
activated and going up when being deactivated. That is, when
you press and release, say, Caps-Lock to activate it, it only
reports going down, and when you press and release to deactivate
it, it only reports going up. This confuses synergy.

You can solve the problem by changing your configuration file.

10. Does AltGr/Mode-Switch work?
Sort of. Synergy sends the character you're trying to create from
the server to the client. If the client can figure out how to
create that character then it will do so, synthesizing whatever
key events necessary. However, operating system differences can
cause unexpected problems. Pressing either Ctrl key plus the left
Alt key on Microsoft Windows means AltGr but on Unix that just
means Ctrl and Alt are down. If you have a synergy server running
on Windows and are having trouble with Ctrl+Alt_L = AltGr, try using
the right Alt key as AltGr instead.
Yes, as of 1.0.12 synergy has full support for AltGr/Mode-switch.
That includes support for most (all?) European keyboard layouts.
All systems should be using the same keyboard layout, though, for
all characters to work. (Any character missing from a client's
layout cannot be generated by synergy.)
11. Why isn't synergy ported to platform XYZ?
