Im having a weird problem where when I click a certain key on my XKeys USB pad, for example ALt-1 it will pass the key sequence to my slaves as 1 versus Alt-1 unless I have a key bound to each slave with Alt-1.

For example I have my Main + 4 (Shaman, MAge, mage, Priest)

I would then need to bind Alt-1 to each instance otherwise it wont be transmitted properly. is this normal?

If I had Alt-1 bound to something on my Mage and Mage for example, it would pass only "1" to the other 2 slaves sinc there was no key binding for Alt-1.

I believe this is a WoW issue rather than an X-Keys or Keyclone issue. If you don't have the exact keybind, WoW will go for the next closest thing. I simply bound the keys to blank bars on my toons that didn't use them. Not sure if there is another workaround.

I've encountered this, too, and I can confirm that it's neither an X-Keys or a KeyClone problem. WoW just likes to be "helpful" with keybinding matching sometimes. :D

I found two solutions. Before I really delved into the wonderful world of add-ons, I just got into the habit of "unbinding" most of the standard action bar keybindings on a new character (since I found that I ran into this most often when using Alt plus some number 1 - 10). Now, I've become devoted to macaroon for my bars and macros, so I just remove the icons from the Blizzard action bar before I uncheck the "enable Blizzard interface" option in macaroon and start building my own bars. While I have not done really extensive testing, I've not run into this type of problem with my macaroon keybindings.

Hope that helps!
