Imported issue:

  • Author: Mahdi Hedhli
  • Date: 2011-09-16 03:56:51
  • Legacy ID: 2974

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Moved trackpad from screen 1 to screen 2
  2. Did 3 finger up slide, 4 finger pinch

Expected: Missioncontrol or Launchpad to open
Actual: Nothing happened.

Versions (Synergy, OS):

Server: Mac OS 10.7 Lion - Synergy Pro 1.35RC w/ QSynergy
Client 1: Mac OS 10.7 Lion - Synergy Pro 1.35RC w/ QSynergy

Workaround:

Nope... anything other than mouse clicks do not work. I would love to see multitouch gestures supported.

If gamepad support is being worked on I think more emphasis should be put on multi touch gestures as they are becoming more and more ubiquitous.

To be clear, trackpad gestures are completely non-functional even on the server itself while Synergy is running. Synergy must be exited before gestures will work. This pretty much makes a Mac desktop with a trackpad unusable at this time.

Gestures on the server with synergys running work in 1.3.8, but it appears that that got lost in 1.4.

Just confirming the feature does not exist in 1.4.7 on OSX Lion. I am running 1.4.7 as the server on my Mac OSX Lion side and 1.4.7 as the client on my Ubuntu 11.10 side. Everything is great except no trackpad gestures are working mac-side. Much appreciated on the hard work and great software!

Revision 1175 introduced this problem. Reverting that commit from the source allows multi-touch gestures to work again on my MacBook Pro 17's trackpad.

An alternate fix would be to limit the allowed types to be NX_LASTEVENT + 2, as the three-finger swipes I am most familiar with (left and right swipe) are the next two values above NX_LASTEVENT.

Something I would like to add is that with this once the :NOTE: Ignoring Out of Bounds Quartz Event type: 0x1d [max 0x1c] shows in the log up and down scrolling with the magic mouse is broken as well.

Just tried with rev 1432 for mac 10.7, still not working. I'm seeing Has this been patched? I thought it was. I see in the log:
NOTE: Ignoring Out of Bounds Quartz Event type: 0x1d [max 0x1c]
or
NOTE: Ignoring Out of Bounds Quartz Event type: 0x1e [max 0x1c]

installed synergy on my MacBook (server) and Win7 PC (Client), was really excited about how seamlessly it was working until I discovered this bug. Trackpad and Magic Mouse are both out of business, is that patch available somewhere I can easily grab it, or when is the next release expected?

Thanks!

Does one of the daily builds have the patch? (tried the latest available as of 6/19 for mac but it still quits scrolling after a bit) Love synergy, and it's still easier to start and stop it when i need to access the peecee, but i'd rather not :)

Hey,
I tried the latest Mac nightly and the gestures still don't seem to work. What is this patch I am reading about? Any way I can contribute let me know.

Thanks!

The patch won't add any gesture support (I mean, the ability to send gestures to other machines). It will just avoid breaking gestures in the server machine when synergy is running (and cause issues like bug #3195).

Short guide (I'm on Lion 10.7.4. and it works);

You can now run synergy with gestures working.. hopefully!

Any chance you could share the patched file? Was excited to see a new release of 1.4.9 today, but disappointed that this patch wasn't implemented =(

Thank you for this patch! Worked like a charm with 1.4.9.

Applied in r1547 (thanks to Bo Jordan). Sean, sorry that you were disappointed. We did some really experimental stuff in 1.4.9 and I didn't want to destabilize the release even more, so no patches went in sadly. I have applied the patch to 1.4.10, so tomorrow you can get access to it via the nightly builds: http://synergy-foss.org/nightly/

This version has corrected the issue.. And is working great in OSX 10.8 This also fixed the the side scrolling forward and back locking up safari tabs.

Great work..

Yey! - looks like our 10 year wait to share gestures across apple devices is nearly over -- Mac OS Monterey & iOS 15 will allow seamless sharing across Macs, iPads (& ?iPhones ) as a core OS feature later this year.

Proper workaround for now is to use keyboard shortcuts:

  • 3 fingers slide up => control + or fn + F3. Depending on your settings, the fn may not be needed.
  • 3 fingers slide down => control + .
  • 3 fingers slide right => control + .
  • 3 fingers slide left => control + .
  • 4 fingers pinch => fn + F4. Depending on your settings, the fn may not be needed.

Other keyboard shortcuts are listed at Mac keyboard shortcuts.

lol, just have been waiting for the feature for some 10 years... pretty sure i have a post somewhere up above from when i ran into this originally. (bit of an exaggeration, the last 7 years or so I just cut it down to one machine with 3-4 screens)

In the 8+ years we've been waiting for this feature, I think Apple has solved the need for this in the Mac to Mac situation that I (and at least several others) were looking for a solution. The Apple solution seems to work pretty well between multiple Macs and iPads.

Go to: System Settings > Monitor. There is a small '+' popup besides the monitor display, where you can choose compatible devices to either mirror or extend your monitor, or that you want to control with your mouse and keyboard. In both cases you choose where they are virtually attached to your main monitor. I use extension all the time with an iPad as a second monitor, but sometimes it's really nice to use control for testing as the mouse and keyboard are often way faster.

It's also. great way to try out how a keyboard and trackpad connected to your iPad/iPhone would feel and wether you would like it.

Ahhh okay. What version of macOS did this become available in? I'm still on Mojave since the newer "upgrades" discontinued support for several apps and services that are essential to my workflows...

What version of macOS did this become available in?

Apple introduced Universal Control in macOS Monterey 12.4, the next one up from Mojave. For Mac-to-Mac keyboard and mouse sharing, an Apple product is something you should try. It should be technically possible for Synergy to maintain feature parity. Our budgets are of course a bit different, but scarcity breeds resourcefulness as they say.
