    For years, I used to add a sentence like, "With HotkeyNet, every copy can do the same things," to nearly every forum post. I must have done this several hundred times.
    That figures... I hate it when that happens. I looked everywhere but right in front of my eyes. But you are right, I assumed HotKeyNet was like a "Master and Slave" type of program.

    I myself use three keyboards when I multibox -- I'm really not criticizing this. I like using three keyboards.

    But just so people know, if you want, you can set this up so you only have to press one keyboard. You would use <DoHotkey> on your main keyboard to trigger hotkeys on the other computers.
    No, I only use one keyboard. Input Director allows me to use one keyboard/mouse to control multiple computers. So when I move my mouse cursor to another monitor controlled by a different computer (like a multi-monitor pc), the mouse and keyboard output is transferred over to the computer controlling that monitor. So when I pressed Numpad1 on the keyboard it gets sent to whatever PC currently has the focus of the keyboard.

    Speaking of Input Director, it IS a master/slave type of program. Which is another reason I was tending to think of HotKeyNet as the same. It also allows macros activated by hotkeys, but not with conditions and no way to toggle hotkeys on or off as far as I could tell. Which makes that function useless to me. But the ability to clone the mouse movement/clicks across multiple computers is handy at times.

    I know HotKeyNet allows mouse clicks to be sent to multiple windows, and I use it for that. But it's not the same as a true clone of the mouse cursor. What I mean is live broadcasting of the mouse movements. If I move the mouse cursor in a circular pattern around the screen, the mouse cursor on the other computer does exactly the same in "real time".

    I was looking at your Mojo the other day. It looks promising and I can't wait until it's done so I can give it a go! If you can implement the broadcasting abilities of Input Director into Mojo, and Mojo can do anything HotKeyNet can do, I wouldn't need anything else to multibox.
