First of all, welcome back!
I still use and depend on keyclone daily. If there's one change you could ever put in, it's the occasional headaches with the PiP swap. It works great as long as my main window is focused, but if I select a different window and hit PiP, it gets confused and the swapping isn't quite what you expect - sometimes windows appear on top of each other leaving a blank window where a client should reside. The real issue here is that I'll have my main window active, hit my my swap key and fat finger and second swap key, the 1st window swaps perfectly, however, it hasn't lost focus, the 2nd swap goes to the wrong window and then the windows get out of order.
It's very easy to reproduce, I run 1 main window with 4 small ones to the side. For simplicity, I'll say I use F1-F5 to swap windows, where F1 is my main, and F2-F5 are the windows on the side from top to bottom. Then let's say I swap to client 2 using F2, followed by an attempt to swap to client 3 using F3, what will happen is that client 2 becomes the main window, and client 1 goes where client 2 was (as expected), except that client 1 is still in focus, so now when I press F3, client 3 now swaps with client 1 (and positions itself where 2 is), instead of my main window becoming client 3.
IMO, if I press a PIP key (F1-F5), the desired window should be the window brought to the main window and focused regardless of which client broadcasted the hotkey.
