Keyclone Extended Keys

[BrianSteffens]

Hello!

I just bought 2 copies of Keyclone and have set up one on each of two of my computers. Each machine runs one instance of wow. I used the 'Do not pass' options with 'White list' on to enable the keys I want to be passed. The standard keys work perfectly (when I press F, my priestly minion dutifully stands at attention and follows me - and when I press T, she assists my target). However, none of the Alt, Shift, or Ctrl -modified key combinations pass. I've tried to find information on this, and have seen that at some point 'extended keys' weren't working, but I'm not sure if they are now or if they even referred to Alt/Shift/Ctrl.

Thanks in advance for your help. =)

Oh and to the creator of Keyclone: I saw in the MOTD that you're currently focused on fixing bugs. This isn't exactly a bug, but it appears that the Setup->Maximizer->Display combo box only refreshes its list of monitors on application load. A button to refresh that would be nice if you find yourself terribly bored at some point in the future. =)

Sounds similar to the problems I have experience, ctrl/alt/shift + key doesn't seem to pass across pc's, I believe KC is looking into it.

Hi guys,

yes... the modifiers across machines is a problem and it's on the list.
as for refreshing your display list... you add displays on the fly??

thanks for the heads up.

It would be close to the lowest priority change to a program in the history of the world, methinks.. but yes, I sometimes do.

As for the modifier keys, it's been a long time since my winapi days but I'm guessing you're basically reading WM_KEYDOWN/UP messages, and then using SendMessage(-other instance hwnd-, WM_KEYDOWN, wparam, lparam); I vaguely recall some trouble with modifier keys not always coming through a windows message - especially Alt, which seems to be interpreted as a system message and gets intercepted somewhere before the application receives the message. How are you going about it? Are the key messages just not firing at all or does it have to do with your code passing the values around?

I don't think it is that complicated.

I started clean. I confirmed I could control my spell bars with 9 and shift-9 with no filters whatsoever. I added 9 and shift-9 to my "white-list". I was able to control the bar with 9 but shift-9 did not work.

I then opened a chat line on the second client. In the chat window '9' and '(' were appearing. It looks as though with a white-list the character '(' is being sent and not 'shift-9'.

Here is a workaround for the ctrl/shift/alt bug until it gets fixed.
