I've been contemplating a solution for my chain-heal headaches for a while. I'd love to be able to click a character on my main screen, resulting in a heal on the party member clicked. I'm trying to find a workaround that doesn't involve using InnerSpace* or similar applications.

Using Clique on my resto shaman, I'll be able to configure the client to cast chain heal on the unit left clicked on, my problem is that this would require the same relative setup, and my main char is on a widescreen (1920*1200) where my slaves are on a 800*600 setup. What I'd really like is an ability to broadcast absolut mouseclicks (ie. a click on "100,100" on the main client equals a click on "100,100" on the slave client). Is this in any way possible?

* I have no problem with InnerSpace, which seems like a decent product and disagree with the general bias that seem to be against this and Lax

Edit Edit: Can the SaveMousePos be used for this? Ie:

<HotKey xxxx>
<SendPC local>
<SaveMousePos>
<SendPC 192.168.1.x>
<RestoreMousePos>
<ClickMouse>

?

First of all I must say, that i never tested the following, but this is raw from the documentation.

If you look at the description of <ClickMouse ('http://www.hotkeynet.com/ref/clickmouse.html')Button Stroke Target Mode Restore> ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/undefined')there is a Mode 'Dupe' described like this:
Dupe
Clicked cursor's coordinates are the same as coordinates of cursor on machine where hotkey is pressed. If target is Screen, the coordinates are relative to the screen; if target is Window, the coordinates are relative to the window. So I would guess that this in combiation with using Window as the target should work.

So I would try something like:

<ClickMouse LButton Dupe>

EDit:
so a complete Hotkey would look like this:
<HotKey xxxx>
<SendPC 192.168.1.x>
<ClickMouse LButton Dupe>

Heh, you beat me to it. I guess this would do the trick:

<ClickMouse LButton Both Dupe Client Restore>

For clicking the same window position and restoring the pointer after? That would be brilliant :-)

Yep that should work, although a simple <ClickMouse LButton Dupe> would also work, becasue 'Both' and 'Restore' are the default options...
(or even an <ClickMouse Dupe> since LButton is also the default)

You both deserve medals for reading that web page. :) I'm sorry it's so long and complicated.
