No. That's a very cool idea and it'll be explored. However, it's
also clearly difficult and may take a long time to implement.
10. Does AltGr/Mode-Switch work?
10. Does AltGr/Mode-Switch/ISO_Level3_Shift work?
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.)
layout cannot be generated by synergy.) There is experimental
support for ISO_Level3_Shift in 1.1.3.

15. I can't switch screens anymore for no apparent reason. Why?
This sometimes happens but all the causes aren't yet known. One
known cause is if the synergy server in running on Windows
95/98/Me and a 16-bit application is in the foreground when the
screen saver starts. Windows fails to notify synergy that the
screen saver has started in this situation (which is a bug in
Windows, not synergy) and synergy may intercept some keyboard
input and divert it to a client when the screen saver is running.
As a result, it's possible for the server system to believe a key
is pressed when it really isn't. Typically, it's the return key
and simply tapping it will allow synergy to switch screens again.
If this problem happens to you, try tapping the enter key to see
if that solves the problem. If not, you can try running with
debug logging (--debug DEBUG) and synergy will report exactly why
it refuses to switch screens. If it claims a key is down then
try tapping that key and see if that solves the problem.
This should not happen with 1.1.3 and up. Earlier versions of
synergy would not allow switching screens when a key was down and
sometimes it would believe a key was down when it was not.
16. I get the error 'Xlib: No protocol specified'. Why?
You're running synergy without authorization to connect to the
X display. Typically the reason is running synergy as root when
logged in as non-root. Just run synergy as the same user that's
logged in.
