** this is an alpha... not 100% ready, but functionally viable **

ok, i said i'd have the hotstrings, and here it is... with a few more items.

o new setup dialog
o active / suspended window indicators
o tray icon
o command strings (50% at the moment.. cute to look at, useless otherwise)
o keymaps and hotstrings
o right click menu for clones (this is how you associate the keymaps)

issue:

o the shift/ctrl/alt issue is still there, but with the new hotstrings, it might be enough until i fix it

so for all you keycloners that want to try it, pull this link and proceed normally:

ALPHA: https://solidice.com/keyclone/keyclo...18jul2007a.exe

you can always revert by pulling the version on the main page and installing over the alpha.

Nice job I'll definitely play around with it later today, too tired to do anything now. The suspended window thing is a nice surprise and looks useful already, at least to me. I control my priest with voice commands, so being able to leave 1 window away without manually adding others is nice.

Looking forward to playing around with the keybindings

[keyclone]

voice commands?? hadn't thought of that. how does it work?

[Mannyman]

There are at least 3-4 voice command programs out there. They all do the same thing, you say a command, it presses Ctrl-U or whatever you specify to carry out your command. It's a lot easier for me to say "Heal me" or "Renew so and so" then to reach for a button. Especially in a 5 man group.

[keyclone]

i've programmed voice activated stuff before, just never thought anyone would want it for a game.

hmmm... tie your 'heal me' voice prompt to alt-ctrl-h (or something unused).. and tie that to 'healer.heal.<character name>'.. and only the healers would have that string hooked up.. which would target you and trigger heal. interesting

[Mannyman]

The hotstrings idea is interesting. And a unique way of handling modifier keys. Just got to playing around with it for a bit. Since I'm playing different classes, I'm assigning hotstrings into something like caster.rangespell, which would tell the mage to shoot fireball, and the lock to cast shadowbolt. Same thing with 30 min buffs like demon armor, arcane intellect, fortitude, etc. I likey

I'm currently remaking my group, possibly into warrior and priest, then elemental shaman, mage and lock. The latter 3 would share similar keybindings, like lightning bolt, fireball/frostbolt, and shadowbolt. Mage is about is as simple as you get pve-wise, so he'd need only a few buttons for everyday use. Warrior abilites would fit in fine on my N52 with what I have in mind, now I just have to figure out what to do with totems, warlock specials, etc.

I'm working on an idea for the N52, shift states, and Bartender 3 to tie everything in nicely. I originally thought all different classes for 5 boxing would be wicked tough, but I think I could whip up an interface where I could access everything needed right off the warrior's screen.

This'll give me a chance to put the alpha KC to the test as well. Will get back to you in a few days

One feature I'd like is an "Exclude Windows" or "Exact Match" option on windows to clone to...

Last night I kept finding:
Thottbot: World of Warcraft - Mozilla Firefox

In my list!

[keyclone]

np

adding to the list...

Having a bit of trouble understanding the functionality of the Alpha...

The obvious part is how to load a keymap for an instance of WoW... The part I'm having problems with is the keymap editor.

I've created a keymap but I'm not sure how you are supposed to set those up...

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if these features aren't working on Vista.

Keyclone,

I am very interested in buying what you have, but I'm a little nervous about going to software route.

Here is part of an e-mail I received recently form WoW tech support:

From what I understand, you would be using a program to issue commands to multiple accounts with a single keystroke. To be perfectly honest, there is a chance that you would not be caught while using this program.

However, please keep in mind that the use of a third-party program to control or interface with World of Warcraft in any way can be detected by the World of Warcraft game client and our servers, which may result in the closure of your accounts. I personally recommend that you do not use any third-party programs to interface with or control World of Warcraft if you want to ensure the safety of your accounts and characters.

That being said, does your method interface directly with WoW? I don't want all the details, but a little explanation for how you send keystrokes to multiple windows would be cool (I apologize if you already discussed this, and I missed it). I'm willing to take some risk, but I'd rather not have all my accounts closed.
