I might be more confused now! =P

I'm using a simple 2 box setup, and would like to pass the same button combo to my secondary window. I'm just not sure on what the hoststring entry should look like in order to do so. For example:

[align=left]key: >> hoststring
LCTRL+F9 ????????

What would go in the ??? spot to make the secondary window see CTRL+F9?
[/align]
Ok, I see what you are missing.

Hotstrings work by taking a keypress and sending it as a word... when a client recieves a word, it checks to see if it has a hotstring for that word and converts it back to a keypress.

So if you create a hotstring for CTRL-ALT-F and name it hotstring1, any clients with the hotstring1 setup in them will convert it back to what they are setup as.

Since you want to send ctrl-alt-f and recieve it as well, all you have to do is make 1 hotstring file, and load it on each client that you run.

This is exactly what I did with my X-Keys pro, any keys that were a combination I created a hotstring for... CTRL-F1, etc... I named them 1, 2, 3, 4, etc because the names don't matter to me, I'm loading one file for all of it...

Make sure you load the hotstring file on BOTH clients or it wont work
