I use sound on only one computer. It would be useful if Synergy+ could be
configured by the user, so that the volume control on the keyboard only
controls the volume on one computer.

It could also be a feature in the hotkeys to be able to send keystrokes to certain
computer. Actually, I'll add this as a feature request of itself.

The doc from synergy 2 ("http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/configuration.html":http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/configuration.html ) suggests
that this was already implemented:
# keystroke(key[,screens])
# keyDown(key[,screens])
# keyUp(key[,screens])

Is this feature not supported anymore?

I just tried to lock both my client and server (WIN XP SP3) in one HotKey using:
keystroke(Control+Super+l) = keystroke(Super+l, *);
The hotkey doesn't work from the server; from the client, it locks the client only.

Alternatively, I tried toggling the keyboardBroadcast, then Win+l (eg, Super+l),
which does result in locking both PCs; so I tried to beat the system by doing:
keystroke(Control+Super+l) = keyboardBroadcast(on), keystroke(Super+l);
I'm not sure the app is supposed to handle this, but anyhow, the config entry was
plainly ignored.

In short, the server seems to ignore hotkeys. Is this by design?

Cool thanks for digging into this, it could be a bug, but we can't tell until digging
into the source code I think.
