    I've not used the method, beyond testing that it worked...
    ie., use a button/key as a hotkey to disable an entire Key Map and enable a different Key Map, while the key is held.

    You could do it as a toggle.
    Still two steps, but not enable/disable on press or release.

    Enable it, do your alternate stuff.
    Then disable it.

    Not really sure on how well that will work, but its an option to try.





    My roommate is left handed as well.
    He uses the arrow keys (right hand) for the main to move alone, interchangeably with the right/left button pressing on the mouse (left hand).
    The slaves are on follow.
    With nothing for slave independent movement.
    But does have the Spread Out key.
    And has Down Arrow (to everyone), in one of his keys... specifically to stop run-off-IWT-Melees from going too far.

    You can (assuming you're using IS Boxer)...
    Create a bunch of Click Bars.
    Make the button around 40x40 (pixels), which is close to the size of a Warcraft button in game.
    Make it transparent and place it over a button.
    Or give it a black/white color (background) and the revese (for contrast) as text with a very short abbreviation.
    Set the Click Bar to Target: Current Window.
    But drag the desired mapped key onto it (in the Toolkit, on the Clickbar interface).
    In game, you'll need to open the GUI interface, and on the Clickbar tab, Show All.... position them and hide the ones you don't want.
    Thereafter, you can mouse click to do things.
    Possibly have Toon A moves left, Toon B moves right, or whatever.... when this button is clicked.
    Might need to use Hold Keystroke while Hotkey is Held; not sure on the interaction of that with a clickbar as I don't use those often in my setup.
    But that's another direction to investigate.

    Ualaa,

    That doesn't solve my problem of drift between the controllers.

    The problem is if I release the modifier (mouse4) before I release the arrow key, the arrow key is still pressed in the slave windows.

    PS: I do use isboxer.
    Mouse: Death Adder 3.5G left handed version
    Keyboard: Logitech G510

    Another odd problem has come up which I'll look into for another thread.

    If modifiers for movement aren't working for you...




    As a right handed player...

    I have my right hand on the mouse.
    And my left hand accesses:
    1 to 5
    Tab to T
    A to G
    Z to V



    As a left handed player...

    Could you not have your left hand on the mouse.
    And your right hand accesses the opposite keys, but the same number of keybinds?
    8 to =
    Y to ]
    H to ;
    N to /




    I have WASD not set as mapped keys.
    Which means they apply to the main/active window only.

    If you had the arrow keys, not set as mapped keys.
    They would also then apply only to your main/active window.

    When I need the slaves to move independently...
    I take my hand off of the mouse, and use the arrow keys, which are bound to slave independent movement.
    You could do the exact reverse, and use WASD for the slave movement.

    From the home row, there are as many keys accessible on the left or right side of the keyboard.
    And they're as easily/hard to reach with either hand.

    Ualaa,

    That's not a bad suggestion. I am not sure why I need the mouse in my hand but I suppose the reason is I fat finger the buttons if I'm trying to do something quickly and I'm not accustomed to the layout.

    Sending my slaves off to stand in fire for example. Could happen!

    I am missing something here I think. Why can't a left handed player use the normal key binds we use? Instead of having your right hand on the right side of the keyboard you could have your right hand on the left side of the keyboard.

    I don't usually use a click. Just the mouse wheel for pretty much everything I do now.

    I finally got Sylvannas today. Good times!

    I figured out a few things in my setup.

    For starters, I canned the razer Death Adder and now use the Evoluent left handed mouse again. This thing is seriously underrated.

    The Evoluent has 6 programmable buttons and then another 3 combinations that can be used with mouse6 and any combination of 1,2,3.

    I put strafe left and strafe right on the 5 and 6 buttons, with alt+5 and alt+6 star and collapse star functions. This way I can bring them together quickly and spread them out quickly to avoid AEs.

    Next I put an alt+mousewheel down function in to make it so nothing attacks with CTM. This way I hop on my arms warrior, alt+mousewheel to get off heals, warrior dps and hunter dps. Result is dead as fried chicken Sylvannas.

    I'm still working out some kinks in my setup but so far its looking nice. This was the cleanest end time run I've had. One wipe on Murozond and that's only because I missed the 'oh shit' button on my tank. I need to put that in the click bar for sure.

    Another update:

    Baine is still my most difficult fight. Sylvannas is no longer difficult. Killed her again this time on 2 attempts. Took me 7 on Baine ><. I one shot Murozond again.

    This fight is ugly, ugly ugly for range/melee CTM setups. You have to remember to not use CTM when he pulvarizes and even then you have to be ready to move everyone. I eventually got it down but not without a death. In short, he blows.

    Sylvannas making a comeback at pissing me off tonight.

    90k Sacrifice on one of my hunters..

    Dropped Entire Well of Eternity run without a single death. End Time is still reigning champ of shit. I never, ever seem to get Jaina.

    Considering he is left handed he would have to hit the buttons with his pinky.
