Basic question about hotkeynet hotkey configuration

[gherenand]

I couldn't find any guides on hotkeynet, so I figured i'd just ask the question. I'm brand new to this, and was working on doing the codes for the hotkeys, and I finally got it to work...kinda. None of the keys are going to my first window, just to my second. I tried using the <sendwinM wow1, wow2> sort of configuration, but hotkeynet says <hotkey (insert any of my hotkeys here)> has already been defined. Only the first definition will be used.



Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Dual-boxing seems like tons of fun, and a good challenge. If only I knew how to work this. :P

Can you paste some of your hotkey file here?

That error basically means hotkeynet thinks you have two hotkeys for the same button.

The main reason there aren't any guides here is the fact that the hotkeynet site has awesome documentation on pretty much everything

It's rather inefecient, as the "1-9" "A-Z" deal didn't seem to work either, I've just been using

<hotkey 1>
<sendpc local>
<sendwinM wow2>
<key 1>

<hotkey 2>
<sendpc local>
<sendwinM wow2>
<key 2>


That sort of a deal, for each of the keys I want hotkeyed. The problem i'm having is sending the keystrokes to both wow1 and wow2. I tried just putting wow1 before wow2 after sendwinM, that didn't work. Not with a comma either. I just get the error message. Nothing is duplicated.

Ok, I will try to walk you through it.

1. Create Labels for your wow-Windows.

This can be done liek:

<Label w1 Local SendWinM WoW1>
<Label w2 Local SendWinM WoW2>

This defines that the label w1 can be used to send to the window named WoW1 on the local pc using the SendWinM method.

2. Define a Hotkey

You can now define a simple Hotkey like:

<Hotkey 1>
	<SendLabel w1,w2>
	<Key 2>

if you like to define a hole bunch of Hotkeys you can do this by using lists:

<KeyList MyList A-Z, 1-9, F1-F12, Enter, Tab, Space, Comma except W, A, S, D, Q, E, F>
<Hotkey MyList; Shift MyList; Alt MyList; Ctrl MyList>
  <SendLabel w1, w2, w3, w4, w5>
  <Key %Trigger%>

if you now want to define movement-keys that should be send to all wow you can do this like the following:

<MovementHotkey up, down, left, right>
	<SendLabel w1, w2>
	<Key %Trigger%>

hope this helps.
Btw.: all this can be found on the guides/examples on hotkeynet.com

I couldn't find any guides on hotkeynet...

My eyes almost bounced out of my head when I read this. Then I realized you were talking about this website, not HotkeyNet's website. You'll find guides up the wazoo on HotkeyNet's website.

Since you're having trouble, you might want to start with one of the pre-made scripts. You'll find them here:
