Another keyboard broadcasting solution for Mac. Very nice and with network support! If Netowrk support is functional I can reduce the load of my main-Mac by off-loading two WoW-copies into laptop.

I'll try it as soon as I get home!

Does it support window-scaling positioning? One annoying thing with WoW is that it keeps it's window-settings. I've used shell-script to launch 5 copies of WoW but they will start on top of each other. My current solution is apple-script shown in some post which writes the preference-file before starting each client.


MLB does support window resizing and positioning upon launch. There is one catch, your windows are still constrained to MACs forcing of aspect ratio.

Whichever one of you guys is the first to hack the window size is gonna be my hero. Positioning is nice, but arbitrary window sizing will be epic.

I was looking into arbitrary window sizes and removing window chrome.
I stopped researching awhile ago with lack of interest in MLB.

When my current project dies down I may pick it up again.

I have made some minor modifications to MLB.

The pop menu options where changed to be more clear. They are now Launch Application (for Launching) and Set Size and Position (for saving the Window Size and Position).

The window title now displays the version number and registration state.

Bug Fix: If Caps Lock were on, broadcasting would stop unless caps lock keys were in the key filter list. Caps Lock modifier key (NSAlphaShift) is being ignored for the moment. This will have a negative impact on the Key Filters if you add an entry for CAP_LOCK + KEY. It will ignore the Caps Lock part. Use Shift instead.

You can get the new app from the website. http://www.fivemasted.com/MLB%20APP/...nchBox.app.zip


I would like to thank Aki for his feedback.
