chatting ain`t possible anymore

[Aevra]

If you make all your letter keys have a modifier like shift \ alt etc, you can type as normal since they will only get sent to the others when you use the modifier. means you can chat without having to turn off and on junk.
Frustrated the ^#@^ out of me having to choose to chat or box but not being able to do both at the same time.

realy all you have to do is delete everyone in your friends list and /ignore server.. this way you can complete your dungeon.
or either learn to deal with the software :P

its realy easy to setup in ISboxer and once used to it its realy nice Littleburst was right to where you can rebind it.

i just toggle the keymaps off whenever i need to chat as well.

maybe in JoeMultiboxer we'll be able to set one keyboard for boxing and one for chatting :-)

I wonder if you're gonna be faster at switching keyboard then hitting your keybind for keymaps :P

Or you wanna type with 1 hand and dps/heal/tank with the other?

Yes, absolutely. It should be pretty painless to set it up that way You might set up all your hotkeys on one keyboard, and have the other set up to just pass through to the current window (or a specific window, or lots of windows, etc). Or different hotkeys for different characters on different keyboards, and so on. *rubs hands together mischievously*

I'm going to have to hook up a USB hub with lots of keyboards and get some pics of a ridiculous setup/mess of input devices, all for my one PC

I dont set keymaps to a-z keys. I just set mine to 1 - = and then ctr f1 - ctr f12, shift f1 - shift f12.

That way, I can chat fine with keymaps on. the only time I turn them off is when dealing with the AH.

my usual problem is not the speed at which i can toggle, my problem is usually remembering to toggle back.
For example before pulling that big bad boss from hell and wondering why my slaves are not attacking/healing at all :-)

Maybe LAX can change the banner " key map off" to stay on screen until you turn "keymap on" with a toggle of course.

I can imagine that that would pissoffpeople as well.

Good suggestion!

Just having it as an option would be nice. Since Zub's words sounds very familiar.

Well, you can determine what is displayed on the screen, Font and Color I believe, maybe size too. You get to pick a duration, which you can set to whatever works for you. It wouldn't be that hard (I don't think), to include a check box or drop-down option for the "banner" to be persistent until the mapped key (toggle or two-step) advances or toggles.

That way, if you want a persistent message/reminder, you can have one. And if you don't want it to be persistent, it will clear itself after however long you have set.

My Melee IWT mapped key, which is frequently spammed along with my click castsequences does IWT for only the melee group, and does not spam an IWT message. My single press, every toon gets it, IWT mapped key (different hotkey for the Mapped Key, but same output in Warcraft) announces in pink lettering that IWT has been pressed; it's pretty easy to set what is displayed and when.

You can set the popup text action to stay for 10 minutes if you want the banner to stay. Just edit the Activate Maps and/or Activate Repeat mappings under the Control key map as desired
