    Going from KC to IS Boxer.

    KC has one broadcast mode.
    Which sends everything to all windows.
    And a pause key, which is saying only send keystrokes to the current window.
    You can blacklist keys to never broadcast.
    Or whitelist keys so only those broadcast.

    IS Boxer has two broadcast modes.
    Repeater is like KC's broadcast, except it is the Keyboard and the Mouse.
    (I have an example in my guide, see signature, to split that into two hotkeys)
    You also have Keymaps, which are groups of mapped keys.
    These are your hotkeys and other IS Boxer actions.
    If both Repeater and Keymaps are on, anything that is a hotkey for a Keymap acts as a Keymap and is not broadcast.



    When you're entering your password, you want Repeater on and Keymaps off.
    This then broadcasts your password to all clients at once.
    And doesn't have hotkeys for keymaps trying to do whatever instead of going into the password field.

    When clicking a portal in game, you would activate Repeater without disabling Keymaps.
    For the most part you play with one or the other active, and usually that is Keymaps.

    You might activate Repeater and disable Keymaps, when you want your toons to /Dance.

    You might disable Repeater and disable Keymaps, when you want to chat with one toon only.

    When playing the game, 99% of the time you want Keymaps on but Repeater off.
    This means your slaves won't try to run on their own, when you hold both mouse buttons down to run.
    Any hotkeys you make will work, and I would recommend making mapped keys for anything you used to use in KC.

    With mapped keys you can set variable targets.
    You don't need to go All Windows, although going all windows is good for some things.
    You can go:
    - Window: Current Only
    - Window: All Without Current (other windows)
    - Window: All w/ Current (all windows)
    - Any specific toon
    - Any specific Slot (if you want the first character to do something on all your teams)
    - An Action Target Group (which is a predefined set of characters)

    You can get rather creative with your mapped keys.
    And that is only looking at them as hotkeys for game actions.

    The Quickstart Guide should help a bit too: http://isboxer.com/index.php/guides/...ck-start-guide

    That just undeniably BEAUTIFULLY answered this question and my 44000 other confusions while trying to launch up my first ISboxer team (5 gnome rogues, imagine the glory of popping from thin air with THAT army in pvp - i play on pvp realms, best way to encounter lone wandering targets)

    Now, umm, I kinda screwed with what I didn't understand. Is there a way to reset ISboxer to its default settings? I'd like to keep my teams and all but I'm sure that'll get deleted too, but oh well. Better than spending hours trying to fix whatever I don't remember messing up.

    Edit : file > clear profiles will do it? Dont wanna do it if thats not right.

    Nvm, all those issues are cleared. Thank you SOOO much.

    Only now, a new problem with mouse 1:1. IS made my mains resolution different from the slaves I think, because my main seems more condensed and pixel-tight while all my slaves appear to be lower. As a side effect, everything is in a slightly different location. Suggestions? while setting up their ui's for first time id like to be able to 1:1 broadcast with mouse right. Thanks!
