I've asked this before with little success...but how are fellow adopters of FTL using formations?

[Frosty]

I do not use formations generally but I believe the OP is trying to produce the same formation regardless of driving toon. Typically we move our box by focusing on one screen and have the other 4 on auto follow. When the team comes to rest the group looks like this in top-down view mode

<snip!>

I believe the OP is looking for a way for X to inherit the movement key of B in the formation key while B is leader so hitting the formation key has the exact same result regardless of the driving toon

The OP hasn't really said what they are looking for.
But the link I posted does this. No matter what toon has the screen focus they become my "X" and trade places with the original X.

Frosty,

Thank you kindly for your post. I'm the OP. Warwick was more or less correct. I will be implementing your system as soon as I get home from work today. Thank you again for your idea.

Something I wanted to do with my shamans since the day I created the focus based hydra was to be able to spread out in the same positions regardless of leader...

With KeyClone it was impossible, you simply don't have enough options to make it happen, but with InnerSpace keybinds I was able to make this happen.

So, no matter who the leader is, I press my spread out button and the leader steps forward, the next characters go forward right, back right, back left, forward left to form a traditional 5 point star formation. The nicest part is, the same toons are ALWAYS left and right of each respective toon.

So if Samam leads, he always has Samarn to his right and Samarri to his left, Sarnam to his back right and Sarnarn to his back left. You rotate around the leader and the same toons are always int he same relative positions.
