Follow FTL keybind mystery

[davidmage]

This is just so annoying that I can't figure out myself. But here we go.

When I was setting up my ISBoxer configuration initally, one problem I had just when logging is was that this appeared in a red message: "ISBoxer: F11 is bound to MULTIACTIONBAR1 BUTTON11. ISBoxer is overriding this binding"

I did not care about that, and simply did not use F11 for that button anymore, and allowed ISBoxer to "steal" F11. Now I actually want it back, and thought I would go and fix that. So when I press F11 I notice that my main character follows my current target if possible. I looked in ISBoxer and found: Key maps -> Variable keystrokes -> "Follow FTL" which was bound to F11. (Yay, I win.) Looking at what it seems to do, I decided that I don't need it at all. So I removed that binding, saved, exported to innerspace (even restarted) and reloaded my team.

No difference, F11 is still used by ISBoxer and still makes me follow the current target. I tried to instead bind it to another key, but still its F11 it's all about.
What am I missing or doing wrong here?

I don't use that keybind either so just right clicked and deleted the command full stop... then just used the mapped key wizard to add it back as a keybind.

For World of Warcraft, the only Variable Keystrokes that ISBoxer uses are for movement, and Interact with Target. What you're looking for is the /follow {FTL} macro which is stored with the rest of the macros in the Game Helper section.

If you decide to choose a new key for the follow macro, and it's not a key which is clear of other in-game key bindings (including modifiers), then you could break ISBoxer's follow function altogether.

Aha so that was the one I was looking for.
I changed it to CTRL + F11, and "follow me" still seems to be working for me, and IWT also. So I guess I'll go with this for a while, if nothing else is affected from my change (besides from that I can use F11 for ingame keybind again).

Thanks for showing me what I was looking for, and explaining what may happen if I fiddle with it

[davidmage]

Hm clearly I had no insight on how the modifiers work. Using CTRL did of course break the follow for the characters which used the CTRL modifier (When they were the master). I switched it to another button, not including any modifier. Now everything works for all characters

I should really spend some more time learning how ISBoxer works..

It's a process.

[davidmage]

It's a process.

Yes it is. ISBoxer is great to work with, and not so hard to understand. But I have to admit that once I got my simple setup working good enough I went pretty much straight to just playing with it (since it worked almost right out of the box). So I didn't bother looking at how things worked, it just did

In legion things are looking harder, and I may have to get going with a regular team-setup instead of my 5dps. To control a tank and a healer good enough will require some more configuration, which I'll be forced to do then

Yea, I really need to invest in my healer setup. Feeling pretty good/solid about my dps/tank rotations and key binds.
But I still use a focus tank heal macro, and very clunky assist tank target heal macro...
