Is there a way to do "Punch-Through" with MultiBox

[Ghallo]

Right now I am trying out Dual Boxing. Once I get comfortable, I'll probably move on to 5 boxing, but I want to get all the issues figured out first.

My setup is (for now) 2 WinXPSP2 machines, and the Multibox Tweaked application - which basically seems to work.

The issue is in regards to "broadcast". What I would really like is to have 3 "switches" - ALL/A/B - where ALL makes the Keyboard broadcast everything except "WASD" to machine 2, A makes the Keyboard control machine 1 100% and nothing goes to machine 2, and B makes the Keyboard control machine 2 100% (including "WASD").
In addition, I would like to setup specific key combinations to "Punch-through" - so while using the Keyboard under mode A (so it is only controlling my machine 1), I can hit "Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Q" (or some other pre-defined, but legitamate key string) and even though I am currently only controlling machine 1 this exception key is broadcast to the other machine.

So, is there a way to do this? Thoughts? Ideas?

If Multibox doesn't do this, does one of the other programs?

I am doing a similar setup to what you want to do. I am Tri-Boxing Vanguard, and am using KeyClone to broadcast while using Synergy to have 100% control on a screen when needed.

I have a "White List" set up on KeyClone to only pass the buttons that I desire (1-= keys, F keys, and NumPad)

I have the Insert, Home, and PageUp buttons set as my screen select hotkeys on Synergy (Insert being left, Home being the main in center, and PageUp being the third box on the right side).

The "A" setup that you describe (Controlling the main system only) is normally just bound to an "Override" hotkey. I use ScrollLock to override KeyClone while I have control on the "Home" system with Synergy.

Note: I use ScrollLock, because my Saitek Eclipse keyboard has a nice annoyingly bright blue light to remind me that I'm in override mode :P

This is the most reliable way that I have found to use a setup like what you are describing.
