Synergy is an open source application that allows you to drag your mouse off the edge of one computer display, and onto the display of another computer. You share a single keyboard and mouse across multiple computers, multiple displays, and multiple OSes. It is awesome!
The other day I was trying to find a way to connect two external monitors to my iMac so that I’d end up having three (3) displays. After figuring out that there is no simple way to do it, I stumbled across Synergy and was blown away by it. I now have my desk set up with my iMac, a secondary monitor for my iMac, my PC laptop, and a secondary monitor for my laptop. I can drag my mouse across all 4 monitors. I can copy from my PC and paste to my Mac.
I haven’t had a chance to play with it by Synergy doesn’t seem to have a limitation to the number of computers you link together with it and you can configure computer displays in any number of orientations: right, left, up, down.
Very cool stuff,
