Synergy restrict hotkey to one computer
Server
Ubuntu 16.04x64
Synergy 1.8.8
Client
macOS 10.13.3
Synergy 1.8.8
I would like to have the media keys on my keyboard sent to the server regardless of what screen I am on.
On the client, I could not find any configuration that needed to be made to activate this.
On the server, I went to Configure Server then clicked on the Hotkeys tab. I added a new hotkey for the keystroke(AudioMute). I then selected that hotkey and added a new action for it. In the configure action I have chosen the following:
Choose the action to perform
Press and release a hotkey
keystroke(AudioMute)
only on these screens
server screen selected
This action is performed when
the hotkey is pressed
From my understanding, this should make it so that when I press the Mute media key that it should route back to the server and execute the Mute media key. However, this does not seem to be working at all. When I press the key associated with the hotkey on the server it will mute the server. When I press the hotkey on the client machine it will mute the client.
I have tried using a modifier with the media key such as ctrl+AudioMute. This did not work either. Am I missing a setting or configuration? It seems like the hotkeys may be overridden by the default actions on the client machine. I am unsure of how to further troubleshoot as I am not as familiar with macOS.

Synergy 1.10 added this feature with the addition of the target screen for the keystroke() action.
keystroke(key) = keystroke(key[,screens])
Currently it builds the options at service startup in sequential order, so if you're going to use a destination screen make sure the keystroke setting appears after the screen definition in the configuration.
keystroke(AudioMute) = keystroke(AudioMute, myUbuntuServer)
keystroke(AudioPlay) = keystroke(AudioPlay, myUbuntuServer)
You can set almost any key combination if you'd prefer to use CTRL+AudioMute for the server and mute to operate normally on the client:
keystroke(control+AudioMute) = keystroke(AudioMute, myUbuntuServer)
