I've also been using this pip setup for several days now. I didn't bother posting about it, because I thought it was an obvious thing to do. The setup works quite well, but there are some minor issues:

  • Sometimes the pip switching creates a seam between my main and secondary windows. It looks like a one pixel wide gap that still displays the contents of the previous window.
  • Sometimes it switches to the wrong main window. It usually happens after I've switched a lot of windows and then try to switch back to the window of first character. Sometimes I end up having to the window of my second character as the main window. Pressing the same switching button again fixes the issue.
  • WoW doesn't always respond to the switch button and the sometimes focus fails the call the set focus macro (although this might also have something to do with the speed of my computer). When this happens you'll notice that the character on your main window will try to follow the preview focus character.
  • Since I don't have a main character anymore, all my character macro's try to assist the focus target. Having the current focus character assist himself sometimes makes you target the previous target (while your alts target the current target). If someone has a suggestion for how to prevent a character from assisting himself, you'd make me very happy.
  • Also, switching focus while keeping a movement button pressed is not a good idea. In my setup, the movement keys are on the keyclone "do not pass" list. This allows me to use the movement keys with every character separately. It also means that a window won't get any movement key updates when it loses focus. When you switch focus while keeping a movement key pressed, you can end up with a character that won't stop moving until you focus that window again. It looks funny when this happens to someone else, but it usually happens at the worst possible moment.

A lot of minor issues, but its still a very good setup.
Your last point about movement keys being held down has also caused me minor issues.

@Rob: Do you believe there is a way to release key presses after a PiP change occurs to avoid the issue of the key getting locked during the switch? Or maybe there is another solution?

@Kvdm: I haven't had any of the issues you mentioned besides the movement keys getting stuck. Are you using 1.8g? In terms of performance, what are the specs on your machine?
