Ok Zorba thanks for the reminder, I can see how what I was asking could cause problems when reversed. Sorry for the mixup.

I was able to accomplish what I wanted through pushing 2 keys at once, which produces 2 keypresses on each clone. So if I mash Num7 and Num8, each clone heads in a diagonal away from me forming an X (ie. for 1st clone: Num7=left, Num8=forward - therefore net direction is forward left diagonal). I can use this in different ways to form a box or star or recessed line.

Reason I was asking was just to have more flexibility using same keystroke assignment to associate with different hotstrings depending on who I am driving. Thanks Keyclone and others for your help tho and sorry for the mixup!
