![]() In Windows under Parallels, though, I got different results depending on the version of Synergy. In all cases, any key I press on the Win10 Server machine correctly showed up on the Mac OS keyboard Viewer as is expected. I tested with Synergy V1.8.5 and V1.8.8, again Windows 10 as the Synergy server, Mac OS 10.12.6 as the client, running Parallels V13.2.0 with a Windows 7 VM (all latest versions of software at time of writing this). This brings up a keyboard that shows what keys are currently being pressed in Mac OS. Then from the keyboard/emoji icon in the menu bar, select "Show Keyboard Viewer". ![]() To enable it, go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> and check "Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar". I also displayed the Mac OS Keyboard Viewer. Basically, it shows what keys have been pressed, in what order, and for how long. The program I used is part of a Thrustmaster product called TARGET (the TARGET Event Tester program), but there are several such programs available. I used a keyboard event tester program in Windows to show me exactly what Windows is receiving in Parallels. Unfortunately, this problem makes Synergy completely useless to me.Īfter some more investigation, I found the following on this issue. Under Synergy v1.8.5, this does not work as well. For example, I run Parallels full screen and use CTRL-Left Arrow and CTRL-Right Arrow (Mac OS standard swap screen keys) to move back and forth between Parallels (Windows) and Mac OS. I downgraded to v1.8.5 as suggested above and it still does not work. I'm running Windows 10 as my server, Mac OSX 10.12 for my client. Synergy V1.8.8 did not work for me (CTRL/SHIFT/WIN/ALT keys not working in Parallels through Synergy). At least, this is not the first time I have had to deal with it, but it has probably happened for different reasons. This has been an issue that has come and gone off and on over the years I believe. Some people have reported similar issues using other remote access programs like RDP.
