No problem! Thanks for sending me the info. As long as you have the patience to show me the info, I'll keep plugging away till we've solved this mystery. I'm actually quite curious what's wrong. No matter how noobish a person is, a well designed program should help them figure out what's wrong by displaying helpful messages etc. That's not happening here so I want to find out why and fix it.

What you pasted looks correct except that it only has three broadcast keys. If that's all you put in your file, that's fine, but if you have nine like you showed me above then we've got a problem in the file.

Assuming you really have three broadcast keys in the file, let's move on. To save time I'll ask you to do a whole bunch of things, and you can tell me if anything goes wrong.

1. Reboot the PC and do *not* start World of Warcraft. That way we should get error messages in red for all your hotkeys. (I'm saying this so we know exactly what we expect to happen. It makes the diagnosis easier.)

2. Start HotkeyNet.

3. Press "Show loaded hotkeys" again and check to make sure your renaming hotkey (Ctrl R) got loaded like it should have.

4. Expand HotkeyNet so it takes up the whole screen by pressing the "maximize" box on right end of HotkeyNet's title bar (the colored bar at the top of HotkeyNet's window). (I'm saying this to make the display easier to read.)

5. (a) Press 1. The following things should happen:

5. (b) In the upper right you should see <1> with various bits of info about that the <1> key.

5. (c) In the upper left, you should see <Hotkey 1>

5 (d) In the main panel, you should see "Received from this PC blah blah" in black, and under that, either a blue or red message explaining the results of the command.

If any of that didn't happen, please write back and tell me.

If all of that did happen:

6. (a) Press Ctrl R. Check to see:

6. (b) In the upper left, it should say <Hotkey Ctrl R>.

6 (c) In the main panel, "Received from this PC blah blah" in black, and under that, a status message in blue or red.

If you still don't see the messages in 6c then I will have to ask you to please email me your hotkey file and please tell me the build number of your copy of HotkeyNet, and I'll try to duplicate the problem here.

I'm sorry we have to go through this hassle, and thank you for your patience!
