Macros kept on ISBoxers side

[Sam DeathWalker]

A lot of my time in ISboxer is spent trying to assign a key combination to a new macro, I also have used most all free key combinations. It would be nice if isboxer could suggest an unused key combo based upon an ordered list (say shift alt ctrl first then shift ctrl then alt ctrl then etc.) in other words you tell isboxer your preference of suggestions then isboxer sees what is in use and suggests based upon the order you told it.

I used the xml parser but the 2nd page shows almost nothing.

I would suggest that any feature requests you have be posted on isboxer.com rather than buried on a thread here.

I think this is totally misguided since the WoW Macro Library was added. Any time someone says they have used most all free key combinations and they are having trouble finding a new one to use, I have to wonder what's wrong with their configuration (in fact I can specifically tell you what's wrong with it). Frankly there are way more key combinations than abilities any given character can use.

Jack exemplifies this perfectly:

Dynamic Macros

I used to have just about all the key combinations on my keyboard taken up before i found these conditionals. You can create one macro for all your classes if your smart and you cluster similar spells together. or spells that compliment each other best. So instead of creating and managing six separate macros you can drop them all in one. and save six key combinations!

Yet his macro covers 6 different classes which don't need the same macros. So I can tell you right off the bat (and I've tried telling him this dozens of times over the years) that he has a macro management problem because he didn't need 6 different key combinations.

He should have a WoW Macro Set for Priest, and a WoW Macro Set for Shaman, and the Priest macro set should only be assigned to Priests, and the Shaman macro set should only be assigned to Shamans. They can both contain a WoW Macro assigned to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Q, and there is no conflict, because they are assigned only to different Characters. It's like having Dynamic Macros except without using Dynamic Macros for the sake of using Dynamic Macros, and it's much easier to manage...

There are cool uses for Dynamic Macros, but there's no similarity to the macros given, it's literally 100% different for every case.

A macro you are trying to add to your profile can seem like its broken if its not assigned assigned a key combination or is given a keycombo which is in conflict with other key combinations. There are Blizzard binds, Windows Binds, ISboxer Defaults, ISBoxer User created macros, ISBoxer FTL modifers, and ISBoxer macros that include "Allow extra modifers". All the keybinds you have in your blizzard bindings may conflict with isboxer as well. I don't want my bags popping up in my face while im spamming my dps key. I have these mapped in Brown to avoid those they will be different on your clients. There are some semi hidden ISBoxer binds that you should avoid. for example assigning Alt-F4 to a macro will make client seem to crash because F4 exits the that current client. These are in blue in the conflict tracker. Avoid key combinations that are taken by windows. some examples of these are the dreaded windows key, Alt-Tab, ctrl Escape, and control alt delete. These are Black in the conflict tracker.

FTL macros ARE macros that "Allow extra modifiers", fyi. I'd like to know where you get these "hidden ISBoxer binds", Alt+F4 is a Windows thing (try it on your browser) and F4 does not exit.
