newbie to FTL + jamba

[Catamer]

I've setup a preist/warlock team using the ISBoxer quick setup for FTL + Jamba

so far I can't stand the follow strobe and it's impossible to disable.
shift-alt-f is at best a temporary thing, if you switch to any other screen and it's back.
1. I can't eat or drink, all alts stand up when the strobe happens.
2. I can't make any formations
3. if someone dies in a bg and I select the dead targets screen (so I can release) then all of my guys face the dead guy turning their backs to whatever is attacking or even better if a DK pulled the dead target in, switching to the dead target screen will have the team run to their death.

How do you eat or drink when strobing is on?
How do you release the dead without getting killed?

my next issue is the logon.
I have virtual config.wtf as config.toonname.wtf for each character.
it seems to put the account info on only two of them and the other two don't get it setup and never remember their logon names. the number 6 key gets passed to all account whether or not key broadcasting is turned on or off screwing up the last two account info. any ideas why the last two account info isn't setup?
Some of my Fx keys aren't being broadcast and I can't figure out why ( F6 comes to mind )

I used to have interact with target mapped to the ` key ( left of the 1 ) but this seems to be a special character in IS and won't pass it. it passes alt-` and cntrl-` but IS captures plain ` ... So what's a safe key for interact with target that IS won't treat as one of it's own?

I used to do an "/assist focus" + interact-with-target to get my alts to loot but since I don't have a focus this doesn't work anymore. how do you get your alts to loot without switching screens?
