You really don't want to do this. I had a similar idea when I was
first getting started with QS, but it just creates a god-awful mess.
As Eris pointed out, even if you only sync your triggers (note:
absolutely never try syncing the catalog!), all you will do is end up
creating a race condition where each copy of QS is constantly trying
to overwrite the other's settings. It may be a bit frustrating to have
to re-create a trigger on a second machine, but syncing will be a lot
more frustrating. After all, it only takes a few moments to create a
trigger, so if and when you find yourself needing a trigger, just make
it then.
