Coming from Keyclone....

You have broadcast, which sends anything you type to all windows. You can blacklist certain keys to never broadcast to other windows, or whitelist keys so only those keys will broadcast. Beyond this, you have the option to disable (Mute) your broadcast, so you're just inputting to the one window.

IS Boxer has a Repeater Mode, which is essentially the same as Broadcasting (Mute Off) in Keyclone.

It also has Keymaps, which are groups of Mapped Keys. Most Mapped Keys have a hotkey to initiate them, and do something. If Keymaps are Repeater are both on, then Keymaps take precedence.

For example, I have a mapped key, on the letter "T" which sends a command to Lifetap to all toons in my "Warlock" action target group.

Even if there are no warlocks in the current team, because of my set up, pressing T attempts to run that Mapped Key. Which means, whether broadcasting (Repeater) is on or off, the T is not broadcast.





90% of your play time, you'll want:
- Keymaps: On.
- Repeater: Off.

This gets you total control of the main toon because anything which is not a hotkey for a Mapped Key affects only the main/active window.

You can also do all of your Mapped Keys, depending what you have configured. In my case Shift J does single target buffs (slaves FTL assist the active toon) at my current toon's target.



I sometimes run like this:
- Keymaps: Off
- Repeater: Off

Generally this is for chatting, only one toon (the active toon) reacts to what I type, and I can type anything since my Mapped Keys will not interfere. I cannot break follow, short of getting toons stuck on a wall/corner/chair.



Other times, I have:
- Keymaps: On
- Repeater: On

Generally for mouse broadcasting to click a portal for example. But also to open my spellbook and drag a new ability to an action bar, or to rearrange my action bars. Also use this to scribe glyphs for five toons at once or to select talents.



- Keymaps: Off
- Repeater: On

If I want all of my toons to dance, or to all open the /Macro window, etc.
