Lol my roundabout way of handling focus isn't looking too bad now

I made all my macros in game and assist, follow interact with target & dps macros.. I just prefer it that way. I'm not fussed about switching the leader/focus.. makes it more of a challenge

I also wrote many times in hes chat about the FTL system. He nerver applied thought.

Initial setup is very overwhelming even with the wizards. A lot of abstract concepts like FTL, various tiers of keymapping and slot ids need to be gone over multiple times to sink in for most people.

Once you have a setup that works for you its very enjoyable to do. Until that time headaches and frustration is real.

Most people don't need to know anything about FTL (the term isn't really even used anymore, it's just labelled "Assist Me"), various tiers of keymapping, or slot IDs. The frustration is real because people think they have to jump through all sorts of hoops, instead of finding out why they seem to be jumping through a lot of hoops!

ISBoxer 2 simplifies things a lot. Working on it

Well I think for basics the existing wizards do fine. Like window layout I really hate having to do manually so it is nice when that works. Other things though like toggles need to be done by hand as there is no wizard to do that. Thinking a very basic DPS AoE / ST toggle here.

Maybe even more elaborate help panels next to all the isboxer specific mnemonics / abbreviations / keywords.

Good to see that it is being simplified.

Oh one thing that would be super great is if isboxer automatically supported existing wow icons. One of the biggest gripes I have is having to manually handle icons for toggle menus and clickbars. Especially since I use them as status displays ( example: aspect display for my hunters ).

I know, that would be a tall order.

I would argue that this can be done by wizard. Mapped Key Wizard has a "Key Map Toggler" which would allow you to turn one Mapped Key (Hotkey) off and another (e.g. with the same Hotkey) on. You would just set one or the other Mapped Keys (between AOE and single) to be off initially.

With the Pro Config we generally suggest just using a different Hotkey for single vs AOE. With the right hotkeys, I find it easier to keep track of this way

But then you have to have a way to toggle between the two of them. If there is a way to do that through the wizard I've been doing my setup wrong for years.

Example of my toggle keymap:

IWT Toggle - this one turns CTM off and on respectively for all followers.
Range follow - this one turns on a special follow for range to follow melee or to follow the current lead if off.
Camera toggle - This one iterates over the 5 camera position options alerting the user which is currently active.
Toggle DPS - The AoE / ST toggle.
Toggle local ATK - This one turns off and on the keymap for the lead if you want to spam the key for other windows but take no action on the lead.
Toggle combat follow - This one is more elaborate but basically uses a /stopmacro macro written in isboxer to follow the lead if no harm targets are within reach to attack. This fixes an issue with IWT spam where the melee would run off headless.

Some of that stuff might be very specific to my setup but maybe not. Then I just use a small menu as a dashboard to tell me which option is on or off. I use those wow icons for PvP ranks. Green is on, red is off.

You literally quoted my brief explanation of how to toggle between the two of them, by using the Mapped Key Wizard's "Key Map Toggler" option.
