[Keyclone] setting up a command to work with maximizer (step-by-step)

i have been asked about setting up commands and how to use the maximizer numerous times... so i figured i would put together a little bit of a tutorial for people to read.

NOTE: On vista, you MUST run keyclone as administrator (right-click icon, run-as administrator)

--

setting up the maximizer
--
keyclone/setup/maximizer
(assuming your maximizer layout is clear)

1. hit the 'add region' button to create a new region
2. note the region name
3. position it appropriately
4. repeat for your entire screen
5. if you have multiple screens, use the display selector to go to the other screens layout
6. check 'enable maximizer' when done

Now you need to define a command
--
keyclone/setup/command editor

http://solidice.com/keyclone/keyclone_v1.7u_command.jpg

1. assuming you have no commands created, type a command name into the 'command name' field.
2. click the 'program...' button (make sure to select WoW.exe and NOT launcher.exe)
2a. if you selected wow.exe, the wow:username field should be enabled
2b. on vista, you are looking for the wow application.. NOT launcher
3. fill in the region name (exactly as typed in the maximizer)
4. check the wow:username
5. fill in the wow:username
6. set the maxfpsbk and maxfps
7. hit the 'add command' button
8. repeat for each command

now tweak the general settings
--
keyclone/setup/general
http://solidice.com/keyclone/keyclone_v1.7u_general.jpg

1. UNCHECK 'auto-add windows' field
2. make sure 'pass mouse clicks' is UNCHECKED
3. CHECK the 'focus follows mouse' option
4. CHECK the startup command
4a. command can be single or multiple commands
5. set the time delay after startup to trigger the commands
6. if you are using multiple keyclones, put in the ip and port of the remote keyclone

Hit "Ok' and exit keyclone.

once you restart keyclone, it should start the specified commands

Thanks Rob! :)
One thing to note I am going to be adding a Guides section on the top bar menu, so this information will be very easy to find and will not get lost. Will be placing this on that list.

Awesome Tutorial Rob.

Cheers!

Thanks! Noobs like me need documentation to "get it" :)

question: you have "distinguish left/right" checked in one of the example images. I thought I read somewhere else that we should un-check that option for wow, is that true? What does this option do ?

'distinguish left/right' will send LCONTROL or RCONTROL instead of just CONTROL (same with shift and alt)

this was an issue about 6 months ago within wow. i believe they dealt with it

Rob in my test runs on a Vista box I haven't run keyclone as admin, but I haven't seen any obvious issues. What is the reason for the "run as admin" requirement?

i ran into issues when linking keyclones between machines as well as sending keys to wow windows. these were resolved once i ran it as administrator. i believe the issue has to do with permissions and which application is allowed to interact with which application.

being admin overrides that and insures no problems.

if you are not running as admin, does your user profile have admin rights? might be the same thing (no one ever really knows in the wonky world of vista...)

Someone Sticky this post please!
