Focusless, targetless, 'leaderless' (FTL) setup.

[blast3r]

This is all starting to make a bit of sense to me now. I think I will need to reinstall keyclone this weekend and give it a shot. Maybe roll some mages and test it out. If I understand it right, I hit a button and can change my leader on they fly. So if I am running through a BG I can hit '1' and hit and tell the alts to follow toon1 and if I hit '3' it would tell them all to follow toon3. This could actually be a lot of fun me thinks.

nope, in both cases you would hit '1' (if thats what you set up for your follow), and if your active played toon is toon1 (the toon which window has the focus) they follow toon1 if it is toon3 they follow him.

The current client will always receive the key without any modifiers. The other clients will always get the key with a modifier that indicates which client pressed the key. For example:

ALT - ToonA
CTRL - ToonB
SHIFT - ToonC

You can combine the modifiers also, but I used just one per character to make it simple to explain.

When ToonA is the current client and you press 1 then ToonB and ToonC will get ALT-1. When ToonB is the current character then ToonA and ToonC will get CTRL-1. Now, if 1 is the follow macro then the macro must say:

If ALT-1 then follow ToonA
else If CTRL-1 then follow ToonB
else If SHIFT-1 then follow ToonC
else do nothing

Off the top of my head (I.E. I bet it won't work as-is), that would be:
/follow [mod:alt,target=ToonA][mod:ctrl,target=ToonB][mod:shift,target=ToonC]

I would like to thank everyone that contributed to this setup. While it took a little while to understand and implement, I feel it will definitely be worthwhile during world PvP encounters. ^^

Just a quick question to those that implemented this method. Did you guys have to change your WoW password so you didn't use any keys that are in your keymaps? Or do you pause Keyclone and log into each client individually? To my knowledge, there isn't any bypass option to override keymaps. Now logging into WoW is a pita unless I change my password to be something that doesn't include keystrokes in my keymaps.

Yes, I had to change my passwords to not include any of the numbers I change via keymaps.

I've made a request for keyclone to add a pause-hotstrings hotkey in the next version, and hopefully he'll be able to do that.

I wouldn't recommend using the same password on all of your accounts. Especially if the account names are similar and easy to guess. It makes it just too easy to hack the others once one is hacked.

No I did not have to change my password. Reason is I place all my macros on keys that are not pressed normally or that cannot be used in a password.

So far those 9 are more then enough actions that I need the clones to actually assist on. And none of those are allowed in a password. I have more keys then that pass, but for most abilities in game I dont need clones to assist, like mounting, accepting quests/trades/res, totems. With shaman I only need to assist for what? 3 or 4 attack spells and a few heal spells? So 7 or 8 total.

Sure I could have gone with 1 on main sends "Shift+1", "Ctrl+1", etc.. to the clones, but you can just as easy have 1 on the main send "[" and "shift+["

I could tell you what my password is and you couldn't get into my account. Blizzard Authenticators ftw!

I use other keys to activate spells/macros like Q, E, T, R. I don't use the standard bindings. I like to keep my left hand as stationary as possible when I play, especially during PvP. It's something I carried over from solo play. The only numbers I use are 1-5 and I'm not using them in this setup. I use them for non-targeting abilities like R/R totems and such.
