Mac: how to setup mouse broadcast with 'Spaces'?

[Chib]

Dear all,

My first post here. pretty new to Multiboxing but able to find A LOT of information on this great forum, even for Mac

However, I've been doing some research as i've got some issues with keybinds/heals with my chars.

I have setup 3 elemental shamans on my 17" macbook pro running at 45 FPS (set FPS max.)

I have 3 copies of WoW on my hardrive as it's not possible to launch multiple versions with one client. So 3 WoW clients running at once from left to right on 3 desktops via the 'Spaces' feature (works great!)

Now i'm finding it hard to macro/keybind my heals to my keyboard as i have to much buttons to keep an eye on and also i can not focus 1 char to heal 2 or the other way round, or all 3 heal at the same time etc etc.

I read some topics on installing either the Healbot or Grid addon but I can only find info on this with Windows users. As they have special windows multiboxing software to broadcast mouse activity.

Looking further i found a post that 'Synergy' does key broadcasting as well as mouse broadcasting and that it also runs on Mac.

Now i already have Plextor running for the keybinds (started with CloneKey but didn't always broadcast the keys pressed) but I would really like to know how i can broadcast my mouse input over to the other two clients/spaces (either with synergy) so i can use Grid/Healbot for the healing.

Does anybody have an idea on how to set this up or does anyone have experience with setting this up?

Unfortunately, I am not aware of any software that will easily do mouse broadcasting on the Mac. I always had to use key binds and macros for my healing.

Synergy may broadcast the mouse (i have only used it for keyboard broadcasting) but I believe it will only broadcast to another computer and not the same computer. Maybe you could get around that by running the server and the client on the same computer? I never tried that myself.

I think owensd was working on adding some features to plexor for network support, but i don't recall anything regarding mouse broadcasting.
