Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Synergy to work between two Mac clients both using 10.7. One is an older 21" iMac and the other is a new 2011 Macbook Air. Here's my synergy.conf, symlinked to my home directory as ~/.synergy.conf

section: screens
    foo:
    bar:
        super = alt
        alt = super
end

section: links
    foo:
        right = bar
    bar:
        left = foo
end

That is, I thought the super = alt trick was mandatory in order to have alt work on Mac but unfortunately, nothing really works. Both the Command and Control keys do NOT work on bar but work fine on foo given that the keyboard is paired with that screen. The keyboard modifier keys are the same on both computers and the making the mouse go between screens works as well.

I was wondering if anyone else had any success or problems running into this issue on 10.7 and was hoping there was a possible fix.
