A way to pass to non-focused clients only?

[Brookie]

Here's my situation, I'm trying a no-leader based setup with 3 mages. Simply put, I want to use any of my mages and have the exact same keymappings on all.

But, situationally, I want my alts to cast a spell instead of my main focused client... and round robin just doesn't cut it (such as ice block and frost nova'ing when alts are in different positions).

Currently, I have Q set up as counterspell.
I have ALT+Q to counterspell on my alts. (Q is on DNP, non-strict)

Thing is, I want to be able to switch clients, and still use alt+q as "alt characters cast counterspell" and then "q as my focused client counterspell"

Kinda stumped, cause I want to do this with slow, frost nova, counterspell, iceblock, and polymorph.

Does this make sense? Its kinda confusing to even explain...

Have different buttons bound for different screens?
So like U will cast frostbolt on mage 1 only.
I will cast frostbolt on mage 2.
O will cast frostbolt on mage 3.
But 1 will cast frostbolt on all three.

Not amazing, but it does the job.

Hi,
what setup do you use (software/hardware) with which broadcaster (keyklone,hkn,ahk...) ?
If you are using software this can be easily done by HotKeyNet like:

<Label w1 Local SendWinM WoW1>
<Label w2 Local SendWinM WoW2>
<Label w3 Local SendWinM WoW3>


<Hotkey q>
   <SendPC local>
            <SendFocusWin>
            <Key q>

<Hotkey alt q>
  <If ActiveWinIs WoW1>
          <SendLabel w2,w3>
           <Key alt q>
   <Else If ActiveWinIs WoW2>
           <SendLabel w1,w3>
           <Key alt q>
   <Else If ActiveWinIs WoW3>
           <SendLabel w1,w2>
           <Key alt q>

You can use focus for that.
I do this:

1) When swapping the main character I set focus to him (this is done on all characters!).
2) Now all characters have a focus set to the main and the main Window is in active.
3) On the main client, now do a clearfocus command, which removes the focus from this client only, because this button is not broadcasted (separate button)

All casts that can only be casted on the slaves should have macros like this:

/stopmacro [target=focus,noexists]
<rest of macro>

Sorry, always forget to mention, I'm using Keyclone.

Hat, that is the exact thing I'm trying to avoid. I don't want to have to hit something like ctrl+5 just to cast a frostbolt or something on one of my mages, alt 5 on another mage, and shift 5 on another mage.... not to mention having to remember which mage is bound to which modifier. Plus that kinda defeats the whole leaderless setup where the UI and keybindings are the same.

Ken, I just don't see how that will help me cast on alts with one key, no matter which character is the alt?

Olipcs, that looks like what I want to do..but is this possible with keyclone hotstrings?

[edit] Sorry, I misunderstood your startpost.

I don't knowexactly if its possible in keyclone, because in keyclone Keymaps there is no differentiations of ingoing/outgoing keymaps, and therefor it may be difficult (but perhaps i'm wrong, and a keyclone expert shows me the a way).

If you don't find a solution in keyclone, you can use keyclone und hotkeynet in combinition (or use hkn purely, as it can do mainly the same (see guide in the sig)).

This is definitely possible using IS.
