You know...

... call me a cop out, call me a whiner, do whatever you want...

but tell me there's an easier way than writing scripts and trying to get third party programs to work with more than one copy of wow?

I installed AHK, I toiled over the scripts, but I notice something among all of them.

they're specifically written for the user who made them.

I play wow in a style all my own, and I don't want to conform to someone else's idea of how I should play, what buttons to press, etc.

So, after having spent multiples of hours on this site, I'm either blind or too tired from exploring...

I just want a program that will let me send the exact same key press on my keyboard to the other wow window without having to move my mouse over to that one to make it active. and I want those key presses to be the universal key presses. Not this F1, F9, Numpad5 BS I keep seeing. I want to be able to press "N" for talents, or 5 for the option on bar # 1 in slot 5.

I.e. I am running wow on the same computer with two windows open (one on each monitor) and I use a standard button layout. I don't use any addons like Bartender or anything. I just want something that works without having to spend 4 hours setting it up.

Am I dreaming?

ow... lol

Well, to be honest (gonna tell u a secret!), with AHK, Keyclone and stuff u can use everything, A-Z, 0-9, numpad, F1-F12 etc etc etc

People are using keys like numpad because for example keys 1-9, with shift and alt and some other keys are basically not enough for 5-boxing (or even less-boxing :P)

oh and if u want something easy, then you probably need to use Keyclone, havent used it myself but on screenies it looks like much more easy then AHK scripts

[aurelieshagwell]

in those hours of exploring you must have missed keyclone then

Keyclone most likely - or hardware.

I see boxing as sort of akin to building something personal to you and your preferences. I customized my setup because I wanted something that works for ME. It may not work for everybody but that is ok. There is no "easy" way to do this that will do everything you want it to do and cost nothing while

As with most things in life.

That said, surely you can reassign the AHK scripts, buy keyclone or go pure hardware.

Indeed I must've missed keyclone.

I found a script on the AHK site, but the process of getting it to work is pretty close to nil. I install the program, copy the script in and then what?

That's the missing gap, and maybe that's why I'm so irked about it. I'm missing vital details and it's frustrating the hell out of me.

Ok, so KeyClone is installed, I see how to load keysets and all that... but... where and how? Sorry guys, I'm an "out of the box, it needs to work" kind of guy for software I don't know.

well the thing is there is some info on this site, multiboxing wiki and AHK site you could find and use to create script you need.

I have spent like 2 days on searching all this stuff and like 2 more days on scripting, now I have the script done and working perfectly. No one really helped me with advise and no one pointed me at how to do anything and my mistakes.

So u can do the same

I somewhat echo this sentiment. Keyclone costs $$$ so there is an expectation that it will work or there will be some handholding.

Everything else here is volunteer. I and others of us put the info out there - if you can't make sense of it and are not willing to dig into it and nobody else is willing to help then perhaps you should reconsider if this is the right hobby for you.

[Juseffinwork]

I don't have the kind of time you do. Thanks.

Unfortunately I need a sample to build off of and then I'm good. AHK is pretty much uninstalled, and Clonekey is heading that way. I've tried to make key sets in the program, but they don't save, and I can't load them after I've hit save (though nothing happens when I hit save in the first place)
