Thread: PiP Swap

    Question PiP Swap

    First of all, welcome back!

    I still use and depend on keyclone daily. If there's one change you could ever put in, it's the occasional headaches with the PiP swap. It works great as long as my main window is focused, but if I select a different window and hit PiP, it gets confused and the swapping isn't quite what you expect - sometimes windows appear on top of each other leaving a blank window where a client should reside. The real issue here is that I'll have my main window active, hit my my swap key and fat finger and second swap key, the 1st window swaps perfectly, however, it hasn't lost focus, the 2nd swap goes to the wrong window and then the windows get out of order.

    It's very easy to reproduce, I run 1 main window with 4 small ones to the side. For simplicity, I'll say I use F1-F5 to swap windows, where F1 is my main, and F2-F5 are the windows on the side from top to bottom. Then let's say I swap to client 2 using F2, followed by an attempt to swap to client 3 using F3, what will happen is that client 2 becomes the main window, and client 1 goes where client 2 was (as expected), except that client 1 is still in focus, so now when I press F3, client 3 now swaps with client 1 (and positions itself where 2 is), instead of my main window becoming client 3.

    IMO, if I press a PIP key (F1-F5), the desired window should be the window brought to the main window and focused regardless of which client broadcasted the hotkey.

    git has been dusted off... the drives are coming back to life... and the old compiler is cranking away as i type this.

    pip is one of the items to be addressed... after one item i am working on now.

    it's been a while... if people could give me a bullet list of items to be added/updated/removed... i'll see what i can do.

    (either append the list here or email me directly ... keyclone@solidice.com)

    This is actually something ive run into before as well. Just thought i was doing it wrong lol. or i was trying to swap too fast.

    One thing ive been having issues with is that the maximizer settings are... well... borked. ive got my maximizers set but theres one that overlaps all of them and i cannot click on any of them inside the settings area. i have tried even resetting the settings but that doesnt remove the "ghost" region thats sitting in the settings area. i have to then either reload my old max settings or edit them by hand (pixelsxpixels etc).
    I actually just came to the forums to try and find out what version number keyclone is on. as im running 1.9i where is there some notification of the current version?

    addendum:
    Is there a way to export and import my entire settings for keyclone? the one thing i dislike about updating sometimes is that well... i hate having to reset it all when i update (has happened twice now, and it sucks.)

    the other problem i have occasionally is that for some reason focus does NOT follow mouse. i have to click to get the window to focus. and that is painful. i have to reload everything. keyclone and all instances to get it to work. sometimes. other times even rebooting doesnt solve it. any suggestions?
