Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone here might have a solution to my problem. I am dual boxing and I'd like to bind some actions to the function keys (F1, F2, etc...) but because I am running in windowed mode, it actually executes the function key shortcuts. For example, when I press F3 inside WoW, an explorer search screen comes up. Is it possible to either disable the function key shortcuts, or stop the OS from executing those shortcuts inside a maximized window?

if you are using keyclone, make sure you don't have an 'invisible' line being managed by keyclone.

this can happen if you have auto-add CHECKED... as keyclone may find your desktop.. and the F3 is really just explorer reacting to the F3 being sent to it.

to avoid this, just UNCHECK the auto-add option (keyclone/ setup/ auto-add-windows-titled) ... but then you will have to use commands to run your program (or use the 'add' button after starting your app)

good luck and let me know if that helped.
