By default ISBoxer not set up to send the 'space' to you other characters. You will need to create a new keymap to send it through.

Copy one of the existing DPS1-DPS= keymaps and change to 'space'

InnerSpace has both Keymaps and Repeater options.

With Repeater, anything typed is passed to all clients.
Same thing with the mouse, any mouse movement, click, both buttons held etc.

Keymaps supercede Repeater options.
So if you have a Keymap which does something on the letter h.
Then typing "hello" will come up as "ello".

Basically when you want to type, disable Keymaps.
And if you want all windows to type the same turn Repeater on (example passwords).


If you open ISBoxer Toolkit.
In the top, if you click on Keymaps > Control.
Then on the bottom left you have Activate Maps.
And you'll also have Repeater.
Note the hotkeys for these.
Activate Maps = Keymaps
Repeater = Repeater.

If you click on General under Keymaps (on the top).
Then on the left, you'll notice you have a Keymap for "Others Jump"
Left clicking on it, and looking to the right we have a hotkey of Control Space.
Clicking the + sign to expand the Keymap, we can see it has one step.
Click on the 1, under Steps, and then look to the right.
Now we have the actions that take place on Step 1.
The Target is All Without Current Window.
And the action is Space.

So with this Keymap, Control Space causes our Alts to jump.
It doesn't matter which character is hot/active, the other characters get Space when our hot character presses Control + Space.
Space is not a Keymap, so pressing this does nothing to the other characters, unless Repeater is On.

A one step keymap does the same thing every time.
You can have multiple actions on Step 1, but every time it is pushed, it does whatever is specified on Step 1.

If on the top, you click on Keymaps >> FTL DPS Keys.
And then on the left click on DPS 1.
The hotkey to activate this is 1.
Note there is a single step, which means the same thing will happen each time we push it.
Clicking the 1, under Steps... we see there are two Actions.
The first is FTL Assist. It is actually running another Keymap.
The target of the Keymap is the Current Window. It is in the General Keymaps and the Map itself is the FTL Assist Me, which has all of the other toons assist the main/active/hot toon.
The second action is to send 1 to all windows.

Going back to the Control Keymaps (Keymaps >> Control on the top).
On the left, click on Activate Keymaps.
Note the hotkey to activate your keymaps.
Note there are two steps for this Keymap.
If you click on Step 1, you'll notice there are multiple actions on this step.
If you click on Step 2, there are also multiple actions on this step.
Two steps means it will do one thing (or set of things) on the first press, and something different on the second press.
The First press activates General and FTL Keymaps.
The Second press deactivates them.

If you look at the various Keymaps, you get a better idea of the system.
By viewing what the wizard gives you, you get a strong idea of what is possible.
You can also post... I want to do abc, how would I do this, and get a decent reply usually.

The important part of the configuration is turning Keymaps and Repeating on and off.
Once you can do that, the rest is fairly simple as far as playing.
Observe what happens when you do whatever....
For example the Shift + Alt + D... Dance with my Target Keymap.
Or the "Others Jump" Keymap.

If you want the slaves/alts to be able to move on the Arrow Keys (Up, Down, Left and Right), but for the main to not move on those keys, you can adapt the Others Jump very easily, by creating a Keymap which has the desired trigger (arrow key) and only has the other windows as the target.

Copying the wizard and making small changes is how you learn.

The only thing you don't want to change is the Use FTL Modifiers on the same page as the Hotkey for a Keymap.
Basically 3 Keymaps use these functions, and if you need them in a Keymap, one of the actions can be to use the existing Keymap, much like the FTL DPS keys already do.

Not sure if you used the Quick setup wizard. That should have made all the keys you need. There are a couple little things after the wizard are done, but the is the most important

[Ualaa]

At the top, click on the name of your character set, under Character Sets.

On the left, this brings up the name of your Set.
Click the + to expand this.
It should list 1, and then the name of the first toon.
2 and the name of the second toon, etc until the last toon for your set.

When you click on the 1, it brings up some information on the right.
There is a hotkey to switch to this toon.
You want to have a check mark in, "When I switch to this character"
Under that you'll want the option, "Do this Mapped Key" selected.

The Keymap will be control.
The Mapped key will be Follow/JambaMaster.

Repeat for each of your other slot numbers.




This means, when you press the hotkey to switch from one toon to another.
In addition to that toon becoming the active/hot character.
The other toons will follow the new toon and set that toon to the Jamba Master.

If you make a movement key for the slaves.
Example down arrow, made by copying how the Control Spacebar (other characters jump keymap) keymap...
You can break the follow easily.

Or alternatively, you can disable Keymaps.
And then press your switch key.
