Ryan Anstey 0 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Synergy is breaking multiple programs with hotkey support. Mainly hotkeys that involve keyboard combos like Ctrl/Win/Alt/etc +something. Solution is usually to disable elevated mode, but I already have that disabled. It seems that the service that runs at Windows startup is running elevated until I stop and start it which solves the problem. Steps to reproduce: - Have Synergy 1.7.6 installed on Windows 10 PC - Reboot This breaks keyboard shortcut style hotkeys (but not others) for: - Logitech SetPoint 6.67.83 (latest version at the time of this post) - AutoHotKey (AHK) (whatever the latest version is at the time of this post) Steps to fix: - Stopping and restarting Synergy via the GUI Link to post Share on other sites
Kym Schuur 0 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Yep very annoying - breaks Greenshot hotkey and most of the other hotkey apps I've tried running on the server too. Synergy Windows 10, v1.7.6 Same fix is to stop and restart. Link to post Share on other sites
Mart Reinla 0 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Same problem here. Noticed it when using AutoHotKey (version 1.1.23.06) Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander Shenkin 0 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Yep, same problem here (with greenshot specifically). Would be very nice to get a fix for this. Running Synergy 1.7.6 on Win 7 x64. Link to post Share on other sites
John Holmstadt 0 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I am also seeing this on Windows 10 64bit. Quite a frustrating bug as it took me months to figure out what was stealing hotkey control from my programs (AutoHotKey, Lightshot, and ArsClip). I initially thought it was either a bug in Windows 10, or some new lockdown of hotkeys built into Windows 10. Â I've found a workaround, which is to restart the "Synergy" service. Once it is restarted, all my programs regain hotkey control. I made a shortcut that sits in my Startup folder which kicks this off shortly after login. Example command: Â C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "echo 'Waiting 60 seconds to restart Synergy service...' && ping 127.0.0.1 -n 61 > nul && net stop Synergy & net start Synergy" Â You'll want to make sure this runs as Administrator (Right-click shortcut, Properties, Shortcut tab, Advanced, check "Run as Administrator"). You might also want to have this run minimized on startup to stay out of your way. Link to post Share on other sites
