I installed synergy on Windows 7 as server and on Windows Vista as client. On both I can use polish keyboard using local keyboard. When I am using remote keyboard via synergy polish characters are not working (I mean in example S + Alt Gr or S + left Alt + left ctrl) I've used synergy about 1 year ago and I cannot recall that kind of problem so I think the problem is only in current version. Searching through your web site and googled I found only identical problem 5 years ago with information that it was solved.

Please help me to sort it out.

Synergy (currently) works by sending characters over the wire rather than key codes. This means if there is no mapping for the Polish characters, Synergy won't know what to send over the wire to the other computer. I think the only way around this is to add a mapping for each character to the Synergy source code, or wait for the new version of Synergy which will hopefully use key codes instead.

After few days I will check my old configuration which still should exist. If I recall correctly it was working properly with polish characters. On both systems I am using the same keyboard (polish programmers) and I can write it properly using "local" keyboards – Lukasz Apr 20 '11 at 15:34
