CloneKeys - Mac Key Broadcasting application

[Emtu]

I've made an update that resolves the issue of sending keystrokes from applications that aren't in the programs list (i.e. typing in Adium sends to WoW). I've contacted the author to see if I can be added as a developer on the project. :thumbsup:

Wow, great timing! I again caused unfortunate guild drama when my typing of an e-mail was broadcast in guild chat, and someone decided that my incoherent babbling must be offensive....

I would have been happy with having it just disabled when I change spaces, but your solution is even better. Where do I find your version?

One of my problems with clonekey to date is that the more windows I have in clonekey for broadcasting, the more chance I have that the keys will not be broadcast. For example, with 2 characters, no problem it seems pretty flawless in sending the keystroke to both windows. When I have 3 instances going I run into the problem more often. Yesterday I played 5 mages all level 1 just to see how well it would work, and basically every cast I would have to hit the cast button more than once to make sure they all casted. I run all instances in windowed mode, and I get pretty decent fps when I have all graphics turned down which is how it is set up. I use a wireless keyboard, but im not sure if that has much to do with it (who knows, maybe it does).

and to Alphaquam, I would be more than happy to donate some money to help out with the development if you were to take it on.

I'm also very interested in seeing development continue on this project. Especially the ability to blacklist certain keys so they are not sent.

Yes, unbinding in wow works to a degree, but in the event that your main toon dies and you switch to an alt to control, all of a sudden keys you may need are not bound.... Just raises problems.

I'm completely new to dual-boxing, and when I say new I meant as in "just-started-and-is-completely-clueless" new. I downloaded CloneKey, but it doesn't send the keystroke to the secondary WoW window. Can someone help me out?

No luck getting in touch with the author. :S I plan on creating a new project on Google Code and and continuing the effort. I'll set something up soon and make the latest version available. It will also include a feature to block the WSAD movement keys. Please post any other feature suggestions or issues you guys have.

Key mapping or at least mod key mapping. This would allow for the 'focusless, targetless, leaderless' setup. It should work something like this (configurable is better):

Window 1: Echo all non-modded keypresses as modded with Alt (i.e. 'a' is sent to the other windows as ALT-A)
Window 2: Same as above except CTRL-ALT ('a' is sent as CTRL-ALT-A)
Window 3: Same as above except SHIFT-ALT

With a bit of macro work on the client, you can now switch between windows and still control the party.

This release contains the non-subscribed broadcasting fix. Working on blacklist functionality next.

Hey if you have a PayPal account or whatever, I'd be happy to contribute as I downloaded the program and am very happy with it so far. I'd like to support continued development.

Nice to see a continuation! When do you plan to release the source code for your changes?

[alphaquam]

Source is available... and is newer than the current .dmg. It includes the WASDQE hard-coded blacklist functionality. Man, does that make a huge difference! I'll upload a new .dmg to match the source before the end of the night.

Oh... there's a donation link now, too.
