Of all the neat little applications there are out there to enhance your workflow – Synergy is absolutely on my top ten list. For folks out there that use more than one computer on a consistent basis – Synergy let's you control multiple machines with one keyboard and mouse. Control is passed in the same fashion that having multiple monitors connected to one machine: Simply by moving your mouse out of your current screen – and onto your other computer.
Bonus: If you are using a Mac – there is a handy GUI version of Synergy (the regular version of Synergy is a command line application) called SynergyKM. SynergyKM is great because it easily lets you position where your other computer is physically (e.g. to the right of the main machine) using a graphic interface.
Download SynergyKM here for free: http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergykm/
If you use more than one computer – this app is a must have. Feel free to leave a comment if you need a little help setting it up.
