@ Mono:

Most multiboxers that set up their system properly, have their macros in such a way that any of their characters can be played with. It usually only requires 1 button press to inform all the characters which is the main character (e.g. setting the focus). This same button sometimes activates a screen/window swap also.
After that, macros can be set up like:
/cast [target=focustarget,exists,harm] [exists,harm] Something
This way you cast something to the focus target if it exists and is harmful. When this character is just acting 'normally'(without a focus/focustarget), then it will just cast the spell as usual.
^^ I absolutely agree with this information as it is exactly how i run my setup.

Basically numpad 1-4 has a macro for each character that is simply:
/focus toon1
/follow focus
And for toon1 the macro is like such
/clearfocus (this is important otherwise toon1 will try to cast on his old focus' target)


The same button is setup for my PIP to switch toon1 into the main window.

This makes gathering quests a bit more tolerable.
