First, I'd like to say that it's always nice for the community to contribute and share, and please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm no HKN expert, but that isn't FTL since you're relying on F-keys for targeting.

Now, I'm not trying to discourage anyone from using your method, but, in my opinion, the major draw to using FTL is that you're: 1) using only two keys to bind both your follow and assist to, and 2) you remove the shortcoming of, well... every other method. If I'm correctly reading what you've written (I only quickly glanced over it), you're using the F-keys for all targeting based upon which window is active. The problem here is that the F-keys will fail if the party order changes, which includes anytime you get put into a raid group with others.

For example, in World of Warcraft, if you're going to jump into LFR, F-key targeting will break down and no longer function correctly because F2, F3, F4, and F5 no longer target the correct character, and they're likely going to target some random person in the raid where you have no control over the ordering of players/frames. This example also holds true in RIFT where you're constantly being thrown into a raid group during public RIFT events and player/frame ordering is automatically being adjusted and out of your control.

However, I will say that if you're creating a specific macro to target or assist each of your characters, and then binding those to the F-keys, then that's different (and arguably a lot more work).
