Why do I have to send the keystroke to the current window

[Perrigrin]

I might have been away to long, but I want the following:

When I hit "1"

"Q" is sent to slaves
"1" is passed through to main

I thought that I didnt have to add the Action for the "1" to just be passed through, but no matter what I do, I have to add an action that sends the key to the current window (and KVM mode is off in the advanced settings).

When you create a Mapped Key, you are telling ISBoxer to set it up so your Hotkey does EXACTLY what you specify, and nothing more. Including sending some keystroke (especially the Hotkey) to the current window.

Oki, so I'm not doing anything wrong and there is no way to avoid that?

What does the KVM option do in advanced though?

What you're looking at under Advanced is called Send Next Click, which is mainly used for ground-based AOEs in other windows. The Block Local Click option you're looking at determines whether that click passes through in the current window or not. (This all has nothing to do with the Hotkey)

As is noted in that same box, the recommended method is to use a Send Next Click Action as part of a Step; it's left in the Advanced tab for backwards compatibility, but I might just have it automatically convert all of those to Send Next Click Actions and get rid of it since being there confuses people more than it is worth.

Ahh cheers, thanks for clearing it up - On a side note, if you have time would you mind peeking at my question in the macro forum?

Lax your explanations are kinda brief and vague. I have to read it over and over to try to understand it. It would be nice if you could explain things in a way that normal people can understand.

??? Is this sarcasm? Many times I absolutely hate posting because no matter what I do, 10 people ask questions about what I said. My posts are full of disclaimer after disclaimer and it takes an hour to answer a simple question like "What does KVM Mode do?"

He thought the option was related to his original question, and it's not, that's the point I was making and I'm pretty sure normal people can get the hints from my post that a) it's not related to his original question and b) I want to remove it from the Advanced tab because it confuses people.

If you aren't looking at the Advanced tab under a Mapped Key, then I would absolutely expect you to wonder why I never mentioned something called KVM Mode in response to his post. "KVM Mode" is in parentheses. The option is called "Block click from current window". I called it "Block local click". Sorry.

p.s. I've now changed this for the next ISBoxer 38 beta build; any use of Send Next Click in the Advanced tab is now converted into equivalent Send Next Click Actions, and the option is no longer available in the Advanced tab.
