Keymap not transmitting modifiers (ALT,CTRL,etc) to recipients on Vista?

[Decai]

Hi Guys,

I'm racking my brains here, I think I'm going crazy :)

OS: Vista 32 bit on x86, UAC disabled
Setup: 2x WoW instances on same PC, 1x keyclone instance
WoW: WotLK rtm, 3.0.3
Keyclone: Version 1.8k

I've set up a keymap for my main character, a warrior.

LALT-X on warrior maps to "follow"
LALT-H on warrior maps to "gheal"
LALT-R on warrior maps to "fheal"



warrior
k(72.16.16):hs(gheal)
k(82.16.16):hs(fheal)
k(88.16.16):hs(follow)


223

i've set up a keymap for the alt character, a priest (priest-keymap.png).

"follow" maps to LALT-F
"gheal" maps to 1
"fheal" maps to 2



priest
k(49.0.0):hs(gheal)
k(50.0.0):hs(fheal)
k(70.16.16):hs(follow)


There's method behind this, I wanted to prove to myself that transmitting only hotstrings, and using completely different keys, it still works.

224

I've set up a whitelist, allowing through only LALT-H, LALT-R, and LALT-X.

225

I set up the keymaps on the clones to only transmit hotstrings and not keys:

226

The great news is that its almost there - LALT-H, and LALT-R, actually cause key "1" and "2" respectively, to be "pressed" in the priest instance. However, LALT-X, has some unintended side effects.

It seems the ALT modifier isn't making it all the way through. I have "F" bound to Dispersion on my preist, and "ALT-F" to a follow macro.

What happens when I hit LALT-X in the warrior clone is that my priest receives key "F" without the modifier, even though the priest keymap specified "LALT-F".

Any ideas on how to fix it?

My other question is, for all these keys that have no equivalents on my warrior.

E.g. LALT-H is never bound to a warrior ability, but "H" is....How do prevent it from invoking "H" when I pressed "LALT-H"? I suppose I could bind "LALT-H" to a throwaway button on the warrior or use /script SetBindingSpell() to bind it to a throwaway spell but that seems ugly as hell. Is there a clean way to get WoW to ignore Modifier-X if it isn't explicitly bound?

Thanks!!!

Loving this stuff.

I am having this same issue, it's wierd how it works but only when you force it to pass hotstrings only.

I am having this same issue, it's wierd how it works but only when you force it to pass hotstrings only.I actually had this same issue to the point that I simply made all my combo's hotstrings.

Well my workaround was just to bind this stuff to obscure keys on my priest that doesn't use modifiers. So instead of ALT+F that button now is bound to "Y", for example.

All good :)
