QuickSynergy is a graphical interface (GUI) for Mac OS and Linux for easily configuring Synergy. Synergy is an application that allows the user to share the mouse and keyboard between two or more computers. Without the need for any external hardware, Synergy uses the TCP/IP protocol to share the keyboard and mouse, even between machines with different operating systems, such as Mac OS, Linux, and Windows.
The configuration of the host machine (server - the one which have mouse and keyboard attached to) only requires specifying the name of the client, which will be controlled when the mouse will leave the host screen, in the box at one of the four direction (left, right, above or below). The client configuration requires only specifying the name of the host.
More specific configuration is possible when using Synergy command-line programs (synergys and synergyc) without use of graphical interface.

Famous quotes containing the word quick:
“This man was very clever and quick to learn anything in his line. Our tent was of a kind new to him; but when he had once seen it pitched, it was surprising how quickly he would find and prepare the pole and forked stakes to pitch it with, cutting and placing them right the first time, though I am sure that the majority of white men would have blundered several times.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
