Hello!

I've been rather busy with RL stuff and haven't had a chance to play WoW much... but I am back, at least part time!

I've talked my brother into returning to WoW (he canceled he account a couple of years ago!) and I am putting together a new multi-box team to play with him.

Anyway, my GCP question/problem is this:

I'm trying to set up a new keybinding configuration where many of the keys on my main keyboard can be used for commands... but this means that basic WoW commands (like opening a character's pane that shows armor, stats, etc; like opening all your bags; like checking your quest log; etc.) are becoming unbound. So, I decided that I'll use my Num Pad area for these non-combat functions. I'd like to have all my characters do the function if one does (e.g., they all open all their bags, or open their quest log, etc when I type the single Num Pad key, regardless of what character's screen my mouse is in). To achieve this, I bound the Num Pad keys to Clone All with the Multi-bind feature in the View/Keys area. I then went into WoW for each character and bound the appropriate Num Pad key to each of the non-combat functions I was interested in.

The strange thing is that the non-numeric Num Pad keys work great... the Clone All Multi-bind has the press passed on to all the characters and they do the requested action. However, the numeric Num Pad keys have unexpected results. A press has the effect of no character doing anything, but when I check View/Advanced to see what commands have been called, I see that the Clone All is being activated. If I de-activate GCP entirely and place my mouse in one of my character's WoW screens and press the numeric Num Pad key, it works fine for that character. And when I shift to the other character's WoWs, it works for all the characters.

To recap with a very specific example, how do I get all my characters to open their Character Pane when I press Num Pad 7?

Thanks so much!

Hi Sorry missed your last

Hi

Sorry missed your last post- I never got the usual alert.

The problem is that the keyboard grabber reports num pad keys in one way, and the key sender expects them in another way.

I think the answer is to make the key sender able to accept keys in a different form (needs to be in addition to the current form, so we don't break any existing stuff!)

I'll have a look at this over the weekend.

Thanks
Phil
