Hey all,

Trying to set up a system to work a pally tank and a shadow priest (what I have at 70 and want to farm dailies).

I used bongos3 and created a key grid 6x12 and "hid" it (that should cover all the normal wow bars so I don't mess my raiding stuff up).

I then made bars that looked like the x-key pro (2x9 on top, 5x2 & 5x4 & 5x2 under). Ok, that is too many action keys, so I didn't include the left 5x2 on one toon and the right 5x2 on the other).

In any case, I went in to assign keys to all the spaces and found out that Alt+Shift+5 also tripped Shift+5, so I reassigned keys using only alt or only shift. This sort of seems to work, but is this how everyone has to do it, or am I missing a way to use alt & shift together without triggering more than one event).

Final issue is that my Shadow priest will end up with some spaces that when I put a spell, it will automagically show up in TWO places. What am I missing about action buttons (something to do with when my priest is in Shadow form?). I thought there were only 6 standard bars (excluding pet).

I don't want to mess up my "normal" bars (the ones that get passed no matter what computer you log in from, but still be able to multibox for fun.

I could be wrong, but i don't think Bongos can do what you're asking it to do, i believe it's limited to the same buttons used by normal WoW. I think your best option is to grab trinity bars, which has all the same functions as bongos, but with unlimited buttons and unlimited macros. Though it is a bit more confusing to set up.

without being there to really see it, it hard to say. But bongos has multiple bars per bar for stances and forms like shadowform and stealth.

You have to setup a bar for normal form and another for shadow. you can setup the stances per bar in that bars options.
