    With IS Boxer, or the default game, either way it is impossible to send IWT + Your Keybind, on a single press.

    Blizzard has given us the option, in their Keyboard API options, to differentiate down/up as two events.
    You can send (one of) IWT or your DPS Key (as the only event on key down).
    On the second event (key up), you can send the other (IWT or DPS Key).
    You could do the same with Macaroon or a couple of other addons, it is not an IS Boxer specific feature.

    If you chose to run this as "only execute a step on key release", then it would be two physical key releases, for two actions.
    Instead of two physical key state actions (down + up) for two actions.

    In IS Boxer, this is a two step keymap. With one event on step 1, and the other on step 2.
    You can go with each step on key release (which is the default), or a step on both key down and key up.

    Right, I know that. Again, not what I'm saying. I'm saying your sending JUST IWT... no additional keybind. The problem lies in the fact that the keybind is sent by an FTL DPS key, therefor sending your FTL assist macro at the same time.

    Ok, I have not mentioned down up events once except to say it has nothing to do with my question. I appreciate the explanation, but it isn't relavent to my question.

    What I'm describing is in IS Boxer, an FTL DPS key automatically sends your FTL assist anytime you press that key. What I'm trying to say is, at no point on a key thats using the FTL assist option (the checkbox in ISBoxer that says 'use FTL' or whatever) should you be able to use a non-macroable keybind or ability. Having ISBoxer send your IWT keybind with one of these keys is sending a macro + a keybind at the same time.

    This is the exact same functionality as sending your FTL assist macro + an actionbar keybind. The thing is, unlike a keybind that activates a spell, it is impossible as far as I know to activate a macro + IWT keybind inside the game. So we should not be using IS to do it either. And before you mention the down keypress / up keypress please keep in mind that has nothing to do with what I'm saying. I understand that sending FTL assist on down keypress and IWT on up keypress is legal. What I'm saying is that you are sending FTL assist AND IWT on one down keypress if you allow an FTL DPS keymap to send your IWT keybind at any point.

    This is not a "is it legal thread" if you want to hold that discussion, take it elsewhere. The dead horse called. it's begging for your mercy. I understand your concerns but it's been addressed. See Zanthor's penny post.
