Alt Tab Not Working


Recommended Posts

Michael Egan
Server = Desktop machine running Windows Server 2008R2 Client = Microsoft Surface Pro3 running Windows 8.1 Synergy= 1.7.3 Alt tab does not work on client machine using server keyboard. Tab key works fine, alt key works fine, but combination does not work. Alt-tab does work if I use the client keyboard, so it is not a Windows 8.1 issue. This did not start until I recently upgraded to 1.7.3 which coincided with a domain change. Is there a setting I am missing?

I'm having the same problem with my Windows 8.1 client laptop, running Synergy 1.7.4. alt-tab works fine from the laptop keyboard, but not through Synergy. There was a bug opened on this a while back, but is showing closed on Github: https://github.com/synergy/synergy/issues/3268 The bug report referenced above seems to indicate enabling "Elevate mode" in settings might have an effect. In my case, though, it does not. A referenced issue in a different Github project at the bottom of that bug report (https://github.com/openstenoproject/plover/issues/237) implies a change is needed to the executable's manifest to set UIAccess=true. Synergy team, any chance of having this fixed in the near future? Thanks! -Chris

I upgraded to Synergy 1.7.4 earlier this week and the alt-tab seems to be working fine again. Not sure if that was the fix or just coincidental.
