Keystroke Modifiers

[Ualaa]

Most people seem to have a few combinations for follow.

A) An auto follow key.
B) A method to break auto follow.
C) A way to move the "master or hot character" only.
D) A way to move the "slaves or alts" only.

It seems you're attempting D, but to move them individually instead of as a group.

The easiest solution might be changing the keybinds.
You don't need them to be Alt + Up Arrow.
You could use Alt + Arrow Keys, Ctrl + Arrow Keys, Shift + Arrow Keys, Alt + WASD keys, Ctrl + WASD keys.
For that matter, you could bind Alt + Ctrl + F7 to a movement if you want.
The trick will be remembering your keybinds.

I already do all that. My problem is this. One toon is using alt + up arrow another is using cntl + Up arrow. Another toon is using cntl+alt+up arrow. It is when I do the cntl+alt+up arrow all three move. This leads me to believe that wow modifiers are not unique. Sure I can do shift+up arrow, but I already do that on another toon. And it is not just with the up arrow it's with any key tied to movement.

what I am saying is WoW sees shift+cntl+alt+up arrow as 6 things

up arrow
shift + up arrow
cntl+ up arrow
alt+ up arrow
shift + cntl + up arrow
shift + alt + up arrow
cntl + alt + up arrow

Is there a way to may wow see it strictly as shift+cntl+alt+up arrow? and not any other combination.

Thanks for helping,

Assuming the simple case of 2 wow clients and straight repeating:

If wow #1 has forward as ctrl+up
and wow#2 has forward as ctrl+alt+up

If you press ctrl+alt+up to move #2, then #1 will move beacuse ctrl+up are being pressed, if there is nothing else bound to ctrl+alt+up.

You can stop wow#1 from moving by binding ctrl+alt+up to an unused action button, or to a null macro.

There is no way to specify strict keybinding parsing only. (like the [nomod:alt] grammer in a macro could do)

Thank you for this! That is what I was missing! I did not think up binding those keys to do nothing! That will work.

Although I am going to try this I have some second thoughts. What is stopping wow#1 from moving? It still has ctrl+up and it has cntl+alt+up as null. Both will execute when we do a cntl+alt+up right?
