...could you describe with some concete examples what keys you would like to press, ideally, for this? And would you press them on the Nostromo or the PC? How many keys do you want to press at a time? etc?
Certainly. For starters, I was only going to use the numpad keys to direct where the other key presses would go (NUMPAD0 would be a general broadcast to all slave clients, NUMPAD2 to the second client, and like that up through NUMPAD5 to the fifth client). The rest of the key presses were going to occur on the Nostromo and these key presses already used some SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT modifiers (and sometimes, ALT+CTRL and other combinations). And before I forget, there were a few other keys (ESC, B, SPACE, etc) that I had on the Nostromo as well besides the 1-0 (and -,= depending on the bar we're talking about).

The idea was that I could keep all the functionality I had on my main AND use the same controls on the slaves (either individually or as a group). Right now, I'm using the RSHIFT as a general broadcast modifier. If memory serves, the Nostromo software doesn't differentiation between the left and right CTRL and ALT keys (well, it might for ALT). If it did, I could just alter the script I use to output all of the hotkey definitions and load them into HKN.

And on another note, the Nostromo and HKN get along pretty well. HKN is able to see and capture the appropriate events nicely.

In general, I don't think I'll press more than 4 keys at a time (the client modifier, two regular modifiers, and some other key be it numerical or alphabetical).

Did I get everything?

Thanks.
