Ok, I got my x-keys pro and my goal was to totally remap the team so I don't have to worry about funky keymaps and can have all of them playable from any focus...

I have LOTS of combo's, ctrl,shift, both, etc... and was having trouble with this... they would pass sometimes, not always, it was just odd.

So my solution, I created a keymap file, any key that had a modifier I added to it, then I added that keymap to all my clients commands. it really doesn't do anything but send the same thing thats pressed, but it totally resolved any confusing issues I had with things not working all the time!
