Passing Keystrokes to other copy of WoW

[facecake]

Ok,

I have one PC and two copies of wow running, my main screen is gonna be me running around with my hunter and I will have my paladin on follow. Obviously I can press and type like normal on my hunter.

However, what I want is a little program that I can use to program my F1-F12 keys, so if I press F1 then my paladin heals my hunter. I know how to set this up with the in-game macros, but I'm struggling to see how I can convert pressing F1 to sending the 1 character to my paladin copy of wow only.

I have seen programs which clone the 1 key, but this isnt what i want, I just want to be able to press F1 and it throws my hunter a heal?

Ive been playing with keyclone but it looks like this cant do it?

Thanks,

Facecake

Pretty sure this is already answered before.. but again:


On your Paladin, bind F1 to a macro that heals your hunter.
On your Hunter, unbind F1.

[keyclone]

in keyclone you should be able to make a keymap with a hotstring like:

paladin.kcl
--
1 heal_hunter

(you have a wow macro tied to some key... '1' in this case.. test it by hitting '1' from within the paladin screen and seeing the paladin heal the hunter)

hunter.kcl
--
shift-F1 heal_hunter

load the appropriate keymap to the appropriate wow clone

at which point, if you are active on the hunter clone, hitting shift-F1 (or whatever key you want to map) will be translated to a hotstring... and sent to the paladin... no other actions should be taken by the hunter.

The paladin will then translate 'heal_hunter' back into the '1' key, which is tied to a wow macro '/cast heal <leader>' (or whatever that wow macro is)

if that doesn't work, please let me know (it is one of the core functionalities...)

I dont quite understand how this is working, is there a place I can look at that documents this?

[facecake]

actually, i think i have sorted it now .... it seems to be working, I assume i have todo this each time i startup wow on both clients?

No you should just have to set up all the macros within WoW once, and set up the hotstrings with keyclone once. After that you don't have to change anything, unless you want to shuffle keys around of course.

[keyclone]

well... you only have to figure out the keymaps once.
but... you will have to load the appropriate keymap to the particular clone .. every time you start up.
(i'm looking into automating that portion)
