Ok lets see i started multiboxing about two months ago first i decided to dual box so downloaded autohotkey yea pretty str8 forward had no problems with macros following and stuff like that then recently said ok this is boring i want to do five so downloaded keyclone cause of seen lots of videos where all characters are seen and they turn as one run and stay spread out so was like oh this looks better the whole follow is nice but how do u get them to follow like that so u can see all characters i use one computer for five accounts have it maximized so that the main screen is on left side taking up about 3/4 and then for smaller screens next to it for other accounts so i can see everything i get 100ms latency and still push 40 fps but cant get the characters in that spread formation to run around then if i need them in a str8 line to go down tunnels and stuff if someone could help me out with this would be appriected but now that i use keyclone everything else seems fine ?(

What do you have against using a period at the end of a sentence? Go back and edit your post. Read it out loud and insert a period each time you take a breath.
I started boxing the same way. I used autohotkeys first. I tweaked the scripts to pass all of the keys so they could move at the same time when scroll lock was down. I also tweaked the script so the toons would stop following when you started casting, and when you mount. Had the formations...etc... I didn't really have any complaints about it until I started 5x "boxing". The CPU performance was crap and it started to effect the timing. After a long period of playing, I noticed that autohotkeys performance started to degrade. I would have to reload the scripts. Sure, setting the CPU affinity and priority would help, but after a while it would hog up the CPU time. To continue using it, I would have to upgrade my computer and maintain the scripts.
Being a software developer myself, I enjoyed writing the scripts for autohotkeys. I used to change the oil in my car too...but sometimes it's just easier to let someone else do it for you. Keyclone is like having a mechanic change your oil for you, or having a landscaper mow your yard. You don't have to deal with the mess. If something goes wrong, you have someone to go to for help. Keyclone seems to be written very well and since I've switched, I have had absolutely no problems. If there are any bugs, you'll get the latest fix. If there are new features, you'll get it. Basically, with Keyclone, you get more time playing the game instead of coding up new scripts.
To address your issue(s)... You should use the /follow command for most of your travel. If you're fighting a mob or need to maneuver accurately, then you disable the do-not-pass. There isn't a one size fits all solution for this (maybe hardware kvm). You sort-of asked a question, without a :?: mark in there...
how do u get them to follow like that so u can see all characters Are you talking about the follow latency, where they drop back a bit? If so, try increasing your camera follow distance and zoom out. If not, then I have no idea what you are talking about.

Sorry was in a rush. Usaully i do use periods at the end of sentences but ehhh. No its when u see the videos of people running their characters in x formations. I got the whole idea that on my main i hit the letter j which on my alts makes them strife left right forward and backward. Then /follow to get them back together. But how do u get the characters to run in the x formation without the normal wandering off ive seen them do using the arrow keys; since my wasd is unbinded for alts.
Refer to my avatar on here as how do u get that formation to run like that no matter which way i will move them.
