Ok, going from hardware boxing to software.......questions.

The largest adjustment for Keyclone to IS Boxer (for me at least), was understanding the difference between Repeater and Keymaps.

IS Boxer has both.

In Keyclone, you effectively have Repeater on the whole time, but can blacklist certain keys to do nothing (or alternatively whitelist certain keys, so only those are broadcast). You could play exactly the same with IS Boxer if you wanted.
But the default is to play with Repeater off most of the time, and to created Mapped Keys for the stuff you want broadcast.

A mapped key is a very strong tool.
It can broadcast to every window but the current, meaning you can accomplish independent slave movement, while retaining the default keybindings in warcraft on all accounts.
You can target only your melee toons, for something like IWT.
A mapped key will mostly be keybinds (hotkeys) with a key or macro action within warcraft; but they can do a lot more such as turn on or off (or toggle) another mapped key, etc.

So, you'd ideally want to play with Key Maps (groups of mapped keys) on, but repeater off, for 95% of your play time.
You would enable Repeater (Keyboard/Mouse) when you wanted everyone to click the same thing at once.
You would disable Keymaps and enable Repeater when you wanted everyone to type and not have Mapped Keys get in the way (ie, entering your password on all screens at once).

Pretty much, once you get used to the separation of Keymaps from Repeater, it gives you a lot more power then straight Repeater (Broadcast) on all the time.


TLDR; You're correct, Kang.

Yeah, I remember tripping up over the same issue at first.

The advantage to ISBoxers use of Keymaps over an always-on Repeater, is that if you avoid using the alphabet keys within Keymaps you can freely talk in guild/trade/chat etc without having to disable/re-enable Keyamps. The only thing to avoid is the use of numbers, which I do, simply by replacing them with their word equivalent when chatting ("I had three runs at Tyrannus", rather than "I had 3 runs at Tyrannus").

It's so convenient to be able to do this.
