How do I synchronize input settings between Mac Studio and MacBook Pro M5?

How do I get my Mac Studio and MacBook Pro M5 to match input (add, change, and delete) whether near or far? My old MacBook Pro M2 did that: same programs, etc.

Kind of depends on what you mean by "synchronize input settings". It's a pretty vague statement.


It sounds like you may have had iCloud Documents and Desktop turned on and that let you have a single documents folder and desktop and any changes to files in those folders on one computer would replicate to the same locations on the other computer.

If you are referring to something else, then you may need to clarify what that is exactly.
