View Full Version : Mac, Accidentally Maximizing 5 Wow Clients

I am currently running 5 instances of wow on the same mac pro. For whatever reason, I am often accidentally hitting Command-M, which maximizes the wow client. Unfortunately, this propagates to all 5 clients and often locks up the machine. I can only randomly control one instance and if I go into video settings to change it back to windowed mode, I can still see a maximized client, but have no control of it (I'm guessing it's another one). As I said, most of the time, I can't do anything and I'm forced to reboot the machine. This has been particularly annoying bc I use the default 'M' to pull up the map as I'm riding around and if the clients lock up, they get split up and/or they keep auto running into mobs and die in random places. ><

I looked through the wow keybindings to see if it's in there (I didn't see anything). And Command-M only maximizes in wow (in other applications, it minimizes). Minimizing 5 apps at the same time isn't a big deal, but I can see how maximizing them all at the same time can cause confusion. Any other thoughts to prevent the Maximizing of the wow clients unless I go into the video settings and mess with it?

would it help to put M in the do not pass list? i dunno that much about macs, or if its your keypassing program or the os of the mac doing it

ClonedKey is the app I'm using to broadcast keystrokes, but does not have a "do not pass" list. Ideally, I'd like to keep my "m" for map, mount, etc.

Its kinda like the windows button which I tend to pry off the keyboard :P

Best bet is to move what ever yeh got on m to another key
