Shortcut and font independence between different installs
I like syncing. But I'd like to be able to turn it off for certain things.
I have a 27" iMac with a second monitor (460 square inches, combined, if I've done the math right). I also have a 13" Macbook Air (75 square inches) and a 10" Asus Netbook.
My layouts that I create and save on the iMac simply don't work on the much smaller screen, so I've created other layouts. The problem is, whatever layouts I save to the toolbar sync to the other systems. If I drag a small layout, that syncs to the iMac. If I create a large one, that syncs to the small one. If the toolbar shortcuts could be NOT synced, I'd find that very useful.
Ditto for the preference in font size.

Why not name your layouts for the Asus' smaller screen with an "A-" prefix. Then even though it will sync with your layouts on the unmentionable systems, you will be aware that you don't want to use them there.

On my 27" iMac, personally use 27: as a prefix for naming layouts.
For shortcuts, am dreaming about folders so can group shortcuts together (would like to create more shortcuts).

I already do create named setups for each computer. But then I have to decide which computer to represent in the shortcut bar.

You pose an interesting dilemma. So here’s what I have done:
I have created the ‘favorites’ and added ‘my tools’ such as the wiki page: http://wiki.logos.com/Floating_Tool_Windows
Then I created those 'open all in a floating window'. The only downside here is that the floaters do not hold a save position -such as the 'a' 'b' 'c' linking....
when I get the sync, it carries over. If the layouts can be redone to accommodate just some necessary resources, then the floater can hold the more useable resources....
I did not have to have an "A-xxx" "B-xxx" etc.,
maybe this may help.
