Focusless, Targetless, Leaderless

It's a form of macro setup that I'm not sure I understand completely.

Yes, on Dual-boxing.com this stands for Focusless, Targetless, Leaderless setup, which is the top-most sticky in this forum (Macros and Addons).

FTL setup can allow yeh to switch toons without worry about whose leader allows yeh to have everyone assist/follow current toon yer controlling.

It's a form of macro setup that I'm not sure I understand completely.

While complicated to set up, it can be explained better than many have done here (not their fault though).

Think of it as two spinning wheels one inside the other. The outter one stops and is a certain shape and the middle one spins until it find that shape and it then passes through. Not sure if that really made good sense either...hmmm.

Basically, it's a method of putting every possible follow situations into a macro and only one part of that macro is called if the propper situation has occured.

Usually it is done with modifier keys so that you can use just one key.

So, if you hit + on your keypad it checks what active window you have. If you are on Alt#2, then it sends Ctrl + to all your windows and they all follow Alt #2, if your active screen is Alt #3, then it sends Alt + to all your screens and you follow him.

Is it just follow or is it all your hotkeys? I thought that you had to have ctrl-1, alt-1, ctrl-shift-1, etc. bound specially for the 1 action to work with any leader, but I haven't fully digested the thread. It's pretty frickin long :)

Granted, Innerspace with ISBoxer has a MUCH easier implementation now as does HotKeyNet.

Using only Jamba, you can create a really simple 2 part command to PiP switch screens, then reset the focus for all the slaves. I use it, and absolutely LOVE it.
