Keymapping problem for 1 computer

[Makaaka]

Hi, I recently decided to do keymapping for my keyclone. I use 1 PC with dual screen and 5 acccounts. My main on 1 Screen and 4 on the other. Works well.

If possible I would like to use the keypad/numpad to be linked to my 1-0,-,= keys.

I made a keymap. In the left inputbox I added the key to press and in the right I added the translation.
Saved Keymap.


I then right clicked on the instance of WOW and added the keymap and nothing is happening. I read other threads about it but they never solved my situation. If anyone has some experience with this I'd greatly appreciate some ideas on fixing this.

G'evening Makaaka and welcome to the forums!

for keymaps to work, you need at least 2 wows using them. this is because when you hit a key that is keymapped, it translates into the hotstring, and is sent to all wows. if that wow does not have a keymap, or a mapping for that string to a key, the hotstring is ignored.

if the wow does have a keymap, and there is a mapping from the hotstring to a key... then that key will be sent to that wow

i hope that makes sense. if not, feel free to drop me a note.

have a great weekend,

Thanks for the reply. I tried assigning a keymap to each instance of WoW. I tried Numpad 2 which is linked to just normal 2. Nothing happened. I tried giving all instances the same keymap and still nothing happened. Now what I may have done is messed up the key & hostring assignements.

key = NUMPAD2

hotstring = 2

I want it so that when I press NUMPAD2 the normal 2 key is pressed.

Have I done this incorrectly?

Just incase I'm doing it incorrectly I tried the following also:

key = 2

hotstring = 2 (upon pressing numpad2 just 2 shows up)

Thinking that NUMPAD2 needs to be typed in I then tried the following also:

key = 2

hotstring = NUMPAD2

None of these worked :(

In WOW I can just use character specific keybindings for this but if I do solo PVP with the paladin it will take me like 20 seconds to reassign the keys ;) I want to avoid that 20seconds if possible by just being able to load a keymap.

ok.. i'm a bit confused...

first, you don't need to use keymaps if you just want to pass normal keys. just make sure all your wows are in the keyclone list... and hitting any key will go to alll wows in the list

if you do need a keymap... try this:

ice_mage.kcl
---
key: 2
hotstring: attack.1

fire_mage.kcl
---
key: 5
hotstring: attack.1

note that the hotstrings are the same... only the keys are different.

load each to the separate wows and that should do it.

let me know if you are still having issues.

good luck,

Rob
