Sharing your clipboard

thanks greg. while synergyKM is a system preferences plugin (GUI, easy to configure) version, i must say that teleport functions better (especially with VLC). i've converted!

One more for synergy here, I'm also in a x-platform environment, so any platform-specific solution just doesnt do.

Look no further! Synergy + Dropbox offer everything I need to work between Leopard and XP. I can live with text only clipboard sharing from Synergy.

I use http://www.spynote.com for text and Gmail's drafts for binaries.

We use DropCopy on the three Macs at our house:

DropCopy's core functionality is quickly and easily moving files between machines, but clipboard sharing is a natural side-dish!

teleport (keyboard/mouse sharing software) will copy the clipboard when you move between machines. Screen sharing under Leopard also works.

On the mac side there's also the fantastic Teleport http://www.abyssoft.com/software/teleport/. It's just like a Mac only version of Synergy. That means, not only does it handle clip-board sharing, but keyboard and mouse sharing as well so you can control any number of computers with one keyboard and mouse. However, it's better than Synergy in that it's built with non-geek's in mind, and given that it doesn't have to handle all the cross-platforminess that Synergy does, it's a lot more elegant and efficient (it's a true Mac App) I would definitely recommend it above Synergy if you're in a Mac-only environment.

I can see this being pretty useful. A lot of the times some email services take forever to attach images and the like. Depending on how fast this is I can see it saving time over just emailing it.

This is a lot like the e-mail technique, but I usually just iChat message myself... or if I have a lot of separate items that need to be sent I will make a file in text edit really quick and put it on my ftp. I guess neither of these are very streamlined.

there's always synergy, an open source, cross platform (OSX, Linux, and doze..) which lets you share one computer's keyboard, mouse, and clipboard between multiple computers. you've gotta try it to believe how awesome it is. my only gripe? doesn't play well with VLC fullscreen on your main computer...
