Synergy @ symbol/sign problem
For anyone who uses Synergy as much as me, you’re probably sad to see that it is no longer maintained, which means bugs that have for long gone unanswered will never get fixed unless you start looking at the code.
Alas, a new fork has been created – synergy+, which can be found over at their Google code project page.
Anyway, if like me you’re still using Synergy2 to share your keyboard and mouse between your Windows and Linux systems, you’ve probably come across the bug whereby the @ symbol on your Linux system (presuming Windows is your ‘server’) is replaced by the Greek Omega letter (Ω). A bug report exists over at the Launchpad site for Synergy2 detailing this problem, and thankfully somebody has posted a quick fix/hack for it.
Simply execute the following at the CLI:
echo keycode 24 = q Q at at at at | xmodmap -
