Okay so now that i am recovered from the 17 page read (all of which is very good info but doesn't help me figure out my problem i don't think).

So i tried setting this up across my 5-man team and the problem that i am having is that the hotstrings are only being sent when two of the windows are focused. What i mean by this is i have five characters names are phort(main), phord(slave), phorc(slave), phorta(slave), and Phorb(slave).
Now if im focused of PIP'ed to phord the hotstrings work fine and broadcast to all the windows and my guys all follow phord. The same happens with phorb when he is my main screen i can get all the other toons to follow him. I just cant seem to get the keys to broadcast across with the other toons.

The way i have the hotstrings is as follows:

Phort:
1---->TT1
LCTRL+LALT+I------------>TT2
LSHIFT+LALT+I-------------TT3
LSHIFT+LCTRL+LALT+I----TT4
LCTRL+I------>TT5

PHORD:

LSHIFT+LCTRL+I---->TT1
1------------>TT2
LSHIFT+LALT+I-------------TT3
LSHIFT+LCTRL+LALT+I----TT4
LCTRL+I------>TT5

PHORC:

LSHIFT+LCTRL+I---->TT1
LCTRL+LALT+I------------>TT2
1-------------TT3
LSHIFT+LCTRL+LALT+I----TT4
LCTRL+I------>TT5

PHORTA:

LSHIFT+LCTRL+I---->TT1
LCTRL+LALT+I------------>TT2
LSHIFT+LALT+I-------------TT3
1----TT4
LCTRL+I------>TT5

PHORB:

LSHIFT+LCTRL+I---->TT1
LCTRL+LALT+I------------>TT2
LSHIFT+LALT+I-------------TT3
LSHIFT+LCTRL+LALT+I----TT4
1------>TT5

Like I said the problem that i am having is the "I" key being broadcasted to my chars when PHORT, PHORC, or PHORTA are the main. Any help with this issue would be awesome.
