why 2 - step ever needs to be off?

[Perrigrin]

I'm reading the 2-step threads above, but posting separately as I'm not sure how monitored they are.

But, to check my understanding:

- you configure 1 macro for dps, and 1 for "proc"
- you configure isboxer to alternate them - so when I hit 2-2 on main, it will go dps-proc on toons
- you create a key that toggles so that you can make it go 2-2 on main will be dps-dps on toons

My questions are:

a) is the above description correct?
b) why would I ever want to toggle the "2 step" to off?

a) Sounds about right
b) When typing in things where you want the 1 key to always be 1 and the 2 key to always be 2, mostly. I don't bother with an off key for it - I just turn off my keymaps while I'm doing auctions or any number heavy chat.

ahh right, cheers - I always turn all off as well so wont need the on/off button then.

thanks!

With the 2-step macros set up as described in the other threads you have the dps- and proc-macros bound to say '2' and '3' and make ISboxer alternate between 2 and 3 each time you press 2. Now if you are doing anything but fighting npcs you dont want your 2 key be a 3 sometimes. So you need to switch the two-step behaviour off at times.

You actually set up a mapped key like this.

Hotkey - Something that will be easy to spam.

Two Steps.
Step 1 - Either an IS Boxer Macro Action, or a Keystroke Action which is your Warcraft keybind for macro A.
Step 2 - Either an IS Boxer Macro Action, or a Keystroke Action which is your Warcraft keybind for macro B.

In practice, you spam the one key.
Which alternates between sending output 1 and output 2.

You never toggle 1 or 2 off.
Unless you have a specific reason for it.
But with the default play, your spam key alternates between one macro and the other.

It isn't so much a toggle as an alternating output.
