Hello,

Here is the thing : i've got 2 computers, 2 accounts for a long time. I'm dualboxin "oldschool", meaning i'm using the two keyboard at the same time.

Yeah it's kinda boring sometimes.
When you got a keyboard broadcast, how do yo manage the moving of the follower(s) ?

I mean, when you use the arrow key to move, all computers receive the keystroke.
How do you, vets, manage this ? Unbinding key in wow ?

Thanks for the help.

You can either change the keybindings on the second pc in the wow client so that they do not correspond to the same movement keys as your first PC or if you are using a software solution like multibox you can selectively broadcast only the keys you want and not send the movement keys.

I don't have my movement keys bound to the same ones on my followers. I move with EADF (my FPS move/strafe keys) and the followers use the arrow keys. Normally they just /follow me and /assist me. There's some tradeoff for keys, as you don't want all keys being used all the time for the same actions. The subtleties are constantly being discussed, and a lot will depend on how you like your setups to work.
