I have an occasional runner

[Gambler1971]

I use keyclone and love it. I used to get run aways until I put these keys in the Do-Not-Pass area:
..Q
..W
..E
..A
..S
..D
..UP
..DOWN
..LEFT
..RIGHT
..HOME
..END

And all combinations of those, e.g. ctrl+home, alt+home, shift+home, ctrl+alt+home, ctrl+shift+home, alt+shift+home, ctrl+alt+shift+home. This is a one time setup to stop the runaways, it was worth my time.

As we have the PIP function, and I choose to make my alts /follow, I saw no need to allow those keys to be passed. However, I have set up the following keymaps:

MAIN
====
key....................map
----....................----
ctrl+up.........all.forward
ctrl+down......all.back
ctrl+left........all.left
ctrl+right......all.right

ALTS
====
key....................map
----....................----
up............all.forward
down.........all.back
left...........all.left
right.........all.right

On the Main, I use Speedbar3 (Bongos2 is good as well for this), and make a bar with 4 buttons and bind:
crtl+up
crtl+down
crtl+left
crtl+right

I then just drag the bar (with hidden binds ticked) to say, on top of my portrait, or wherever, and it will not interfere with play.

Thus when I press for example, ctrl+up, my main stands still, whilst my alt will move forward. But I have only ever needed to do this when I am moving thru a portal such as the one from Darnasus to Rutheran Village. However, I find it faster to do most things by hitting my PiP key and switching the windows and then just using my mouse as needed. Again, this is only done when I pass thru mage type portals, get on routed flights, etc.

I also found that you cannot bind such things like the following to a Logitech G9 Mouse or it will also set it off:
..CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+HOME
..CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+END
This was done in windows using my mouse driver software, but it made a real mess in-game. Buttons 4 and 5 can stay Generic, but the scroll mouse tilt needs to be something like:
..left tilt..........CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+[
..right tilt........CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+]
and then put that combo in Keyclone Do-Not-Pass to be safe.

Hope that helps.

I used to have this problem when I 5 boxed with 5 actual machines. Ever since I switched to 1 machine with 5 WoWs, I haven't had a runner since. I'm not sure if this has to do with the beefiness of my current machine, or the simple fact that its 1 machine rather than 5. Either way, maybe this info could be useful to someone.

I had this problem too last night.

I didn't have auto-loot on, and was shift-clicking to get loot. I think I was moving forward a bit on my main toon while I finished looting and this made my 2 alts start running crazy, though my main did not move. I switched to auto-loot and haven't had the problem since.

But when this did happen, I had to do what the above posters have been saying, click to the alternate window and type "W". Hopefully if you do this fast enough, your "follow" macro will bring them back in line with out manually guiding them.

i have a thought that may resolve the run-aways... if it works, i'll put it in the next release

As long as I can still type /DANCE while non-shift wsad e q r are on Do Not Pass go for it Key ;p

[keyclone]

yup.. my idea should allow for it. i've been pondering the problem for a while...

i'll try it out and hopefully it'll work (i rarely get runaways anyhow... i'm guessing it relates to play style)

I would really like to see it fixed myself. I know I spoke to you at some length on the phone actually about this one day and we decided on just putting WASD on the whitelisted DNP list so the other clones would be able to actually se me lifting those keys even if I had already let off of a mod key ( IE you hit shift W to move forward, let off shift, b4 W and so the other clones now cannot see when you let go of W because its not being passed, so move forward command is now jammed until u hold down shift, while lifting the W key ). Problem with putting WASD on the pass list is now, i have to unbind those movement keys on those windows which really isnt an option because now I have no individual controls on them if i actually need to reach over and move a bot quickly. So if there is someway to make clones recognize that if your passing shift+w and you let off shift first, that it still needs to check the w or something, I'm not sure. I would be most ... MOST greatful. I wipe myself SO many times a day on this now, I've tried so hard to condition my fingers to simply keystroking in such a way that I always let off the letter before the mod key but I just cant seem to reliably do it when I'm under duress ( clearly the best time to have a char go running off into the clear blue yonder, or start spinning in circles ).

This hasn't been mentioned yet but it fixed my problem. Buy some compressed air and clean out your keyboard. i worked out my keys were sometimes sticking...not actual software problems. I dunno just a thought.
