Thanks, this is what I was looking for. Since ISB isn't allowed anymore I've just gone back to dual-boxing on two physical systems for now and synergy/barrier lets me drift my mouse over off the screen to the second client so it fixes focus there for hotkeys or clicking something - it's a big janky but good enough.

With ISBoxer I only two-boxed a DPS/healer (two wow clients, one PC) anyway and made heavy use of interactive FX to click things like castbars or healbot from my main's screen so synergy replaces that for me while I wait for Joe Multiboxer. I am hoping JMB might yield better, more manageable client window resizing on the same PC as a solution even if interactive FX won't be present (R.I.P - that's all I ever used

I used to use synergy in the past too on a laptop that had coffee spilled on the keyboard and most of the keys and trackpad wouldn't work but I couldn't afford to replace it, it allowed me to have a working mouse/keyboard and still use it for things. It never let you focus on more than one client at once as it locks your mouse/keyboard to one screen only.

What I was missing is the landscape of today or recent past and how prevalent software KVM software is and if it's ever been an issue. It's good to hear that lots of streamers use it and I wondered how many other people used it as an aide or tool in addition to other things.

My worry was that if it was problematic in the eyes of blizzard prior to the policy change maybe Warden flagged/banned for it, but according to Ebony this doesn't seem to be the case. If Blizzard did decide to have a problem with it now I suppose we'd get warnings anyway.
