AutoHotKey vs Keyclone

Could someone tell me the difference between ahk and kc. I have boxed 5 priest to lvl 47 with ahk, on 1 pc with 5 windows. Is ahk for 1 pc and kc for multi-hardware rig?

Thanks

Whats the best software tools for a 1 pc 5 boxer?

Umm keyclone by far. Its so simple to set up. AHK requires writing scripts and what not.

Keyclone FTW

Keyclone has more features, requires less work, is pausable without having to go to the tray and click to turn on/off, and better support; less work, more functionality in a nutshell. Plus it automatically passes keys and can black or whitelist them at any time through a very very simple interface to add/remove, rather than creating/editing a script and having to re-run it every single time you change it.

I used AHK for quite awhile before I finally gave in and bought Keyclone and do not regret it one bit :p I pretty much just whitelist my movement keys and autorun which i hit alot then leave it running unpaused so all 3 boomkin attack and kill things; if i need to chat or simply shift/buff with 1 druid instead of all 3, I simply push Pause, and bam, back to controlling just the front window, do what i need, then hit Pause again to reenable it, no "Is this your main wow window?" and min/maximizing required like AHK does :p

Some misinformation here.

AHK can easily be enabled/disabled inside the script. I automatically disable AHK when I press "/" and I enable AHK when I press "ESC". When "ENTER" is pressed it toggles AHK on and off. This allows me to use the chat boxes like normal and I don't have to worry about pausing and unpausing.

The whole minimizing / maximizing thing is part of the script Sorn wrote. It is not necessary at all. You can easily alter the script to send keypresses to all WoW windows if a key is pressed while a WoW window is active. If this approach is taken the need to identify a main WoW window is completely unnecessary.

I dunno if it is or not but add that pause script to the AHK thread then please ;p

Search for my posts, I did mention it in the AHK sticky.

I am thinking about suspending AHK using the following keys:

/ - Force disable AHK
ESC - Force enable AHK
ENTER - Toggle AHK

So basically if I hit ENTER it suspends AHK and I can type merrily and as soon as I hit ENTER or ESC it will enable AHK again.

If I start chat by typing "/" I suspend AHK and likewise hitting ENTER or ESC will enable AHK again.

Macro editing is maybe a concern. As long as I remember to hit a / though it should all be good.

Anything I am missing?

Code:

---

#IfWinActive, World of Warcraft
~/::Suspend, on
~escape::Suspend, off
~enter::Suspend

I will have to confirm the code with my script at home but I think it works as shown here.

Those 10 $ / 7€ I spent on Keyclone were by far the best investment I ever made for WoW. That said, I am not really qualified to compare it to AHK. What I like about Keyclone is that it is purposely kept "not so powerful", in terms of being able to script etc. Feels safer to me.
