View Full Version : PiP problem - commands not working

I'm having a problem at the moment with the PiP feature of Keyclone, I've set up two regions to cover the whole screen and then set up one PiP key to F1 and the other to F2.

The screens load up with no problem and one of the PiP buttons work (I think it was whichever was at the back on start up), but then the other PiP button won't bring the first screen to the front again reliably. So I manage Region1 on top -> Region2 on top with no problem, but getting from Region2 on top -> Region1 on top won't work unless I spam the PiP key a large number of times (by which point it's much easier to simply tab over instead).

My computer is a fairly decent spec and I've had PiP working on it before with an earlier version of Keyclone (both with the set up above and a 5-box one) so I don't think it's a machine issue (unless it could be a driver issue with Keyclone needing something new now).

I tried with different F keys, so it's not the keyboard being broken, I didn't try with non-F keys as I didn't think that would make a difference.

I'd really like to get this sorted, as whilst multi-boxing is on the back-burner for me while I level my raiding toon, I would like to get back into it once she's levelled and the set up I have in mind would let me switch seemlessly from one toon to another, but that involves being able to switch in the first place.

Strangely enough, I started having this same problem within the last week. Being that I'm only leveling and not pvping I havn't gotten around to trying to fix it yet.

recheck your region names. iirc its region0 then region2 and completely skips region1. so you could go from region0 to region2 as you have a key to go to region2 but not back as you set a key to region1 not region0 like the pc has. hope that helps.

This may not be it for you, but I had a problem with some of my keybinds being reset or changed since the release.
You might make sure that your F-keys are unbound, or rather bound where you expect them to be bound.

My F1 + F2 keys were bound to party member selection (as per the default) and then unbound (as it really bugged me when trying to pip), the other F keys were unbound on my characters.

I will double check the region names when I get home, but I'm pretty sure I set up wow1 > region1 (both in PiP and command editor) > F1 and wow2 > region2 > F2. I removed all the regions on my maximiser and made new regions, is it possible that some get saved elsewhere? (i.e. not where you can see them on the set up page).

i have around 4+ 4 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 3 ( ok wow 17 !!) maximizer regions at the same time for different class setups and combos. as long as you make sure the name of the region you want to use and then make sure that is the region your selecting under commands editor.

The current release of KeyClone doesn't do well with identically sized regions. There is an alpha link around here somewhere buried from a few months back, but KeyClone never pushed it from alpha to release.

Thanks for the info, it's a shame though as I don't really have the screen space to run two windows together, though maybe I could try one really small in a corner (though that messes with going back to normal for single boxing).

I guess I'll just hope it gets fixed by the time I've levelled my main to 80 (and maybe a couple of solo alts) so have more time to devot to boxing.

This works fine with Innerspace now if you wanted to give that a crack.

Yeah my PiP is not working, it works sometimes and it doesnt others. Its setup properly, I followed the guide (three times). im downloading innerspace right now, to use try and see if their maximizer can setup properly.
Keyclones swapping is not fast enough, and I know my computer can go faster.
