KeyClone PiP mode with Mutliple Monitors...

I would like to know before I go out and buy another monitor if KeyClone has the ability with it's PiP mode and Maximizer, to be able to say have my first screen to be full sized, and on my second screen my other 4 characters split the available space into 4 parts evenly. Then with a push of a button ( actually 5 of them I guess ) be able to swap out who is using all of screen 1, so if my main char is on the main screen, and I hit the button for my 5th guy, I would like him to become the character/wow presented on my main screen at full size, and my main char would go onto the second monitor till I switched him back. Does this sound out of the question? Sorry if this is noobish, I am moving over to Vista 64 from OS X for my Multi-Boxing, mostly due to more active development on Windows for this sort of thing. If Keyclone can't do what I am asking for, can that new program NHK do it? I have only briefly looked at NHK and was interested in it, mostly for the mouse actions, though I am trying to talk to EvilSeed about his development, though he must be too busy to answer his PMs ( flooded I am guessing )

Well thanks in advance guys, most appreciated!!

I assume NHK means HotkeyNet. Yes, if both monitors are plugged into the same PC, HotkeyNet can do this.

yes, keyclone's maximizer and pip will handle all your monitors (well, i haven't tried more then 4... but you get the idea)

there are a number of sample layouts on the main site ( link ('http://solidice.com/keyclone/layouts/index.html') ) and here is a sample of my crew running on 2 monitors with 1 full screen on the left and the other monitor had a 2x2 grid:

1440x 900x2 5 regions ('http://solidice.com/keyclone/layouts/kc_1440x900x2_5regions.max')

if you have any other questions, please feel free to drop me a note.

i understand how the screen setup looks, and i have it set up similarly... unfortunately i cannot get my PiP to work as you describe.... When i hit my PiP key it brings up one of the alt windows from monitor two into my main monitor at the same size it was instead of maximized on the main screen!

any ideas on how to help set it up, maybe my keyclone is broked lol~!

make sure you are using at least v1.8k and are using keyclone's maximizer.

also, please verify that you have set the pip hotkeys for each region.

ahh, i reset everything the way i had it before, dont know what the hell i did different except the "snap to grid" check box for the "non main" screens on my second monitor... i unchecked that and set everything up and now it works just fine ! thanks keyclone! <3 :thumbsup:

EDIT: this works GREAT for a focus as lead setup... i have f9 thru f12 set up as my 4 keys to set my focus... that way whenever i focus a new target and he becomes my main, his screen automatically "maximizes" and he becomes party lead and jamba team leader :) works incredibly swell for training skills, pvp lead change on the fly and other stuff like that =) the only problem i have with that i think is my computer isnt fast enough to do the swap instantaneously! :) hehe small delays ftl :cursing:
