[Solved] Next/Previous Window Swap w/o auto focus on window

All,

What is the correct command configuration for allowing the next/previous window swap to work when I don't have the always, game is selected option checked on swap hot characters to main region in the general window layout tab.

I want to accomplish the following:
1 screen has a quadrant structure of 4 characters.
second screen has the 5th character in the roam region.
I want to be able to hotkey cycle through the 5 characters and pass them through the roaming region.
I also want to be able to click on the quadrant objects without them auto passing into the roam region (I only want that behavior with the next/previous button).

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Neb

Re: Next/Previous Window Swap without auto focus on window

in the window layout, set the Swap Hot Character to main region to Never.

The Next/Prev window mapped keys and the per slot Hotkey to switch to this character don't take any notice of that setting.

Re: Next/Previous Window Swap without auto focus on window

Thanks for the reply Bob, but upon testing what you suggested, that did not seem to work. Here is how I tested the problem in order to help debug this:

First, here are the sessions that are loaded (game:Eve Online). Also, I put this in general given that I thought this wasn't game specific in the first place.

Edits for additional info:
Version of IsBoxer 42.9.107.1
Innerspace details: Build 6394


Sessions:

eveLauncher6148 - PID 6148 - C:\EVE\Launcher\evelauncher.exe
is1 - PID 4600 - C:\EVE\SharedCache\tq\bin\exefile.exe
is2 - PID 2636 - C:\EVE\SharedCache\tq\bin\exefile.exe
is3 - PID 14384 - C:\EVE\SharedCache\tq\bin\exefile.exe
is4 - PID 16828 - C:\EVE\SharedCache\tq\bin\exefile.exe

Here are the results of what I attempted via your suggestion.
For these three tests, these are the static settings on the general window layout tab.
Use Video FX to show inactive windows is not checked.
Use Instant window swapping is checked.
Activate Current Window and Wheel Switcher is empty.
Focus game window is unchecked (and sometimes grayed out depending on the setting)
When clicking to focus a window: do what it normally does.

Ok now for the testing:
1. Swap Hot Char to region: always, for a game window, the per slot swap works (ctrl+alt+#, global checked), the click to swap works, and the hotkey for next/prev window works
2. Swap Hot Char to region: only when I press the slot activate hotkey, the per slot swap works (ctrl+alt+#, global checked), the click to swap does not work, and the hotkey for next/prev window does not work
3. Swap Hot Char to region: never, the per slot swap does not work (ctrl+alt+#, global checked), the click to swap does not work, and the hotkey for next/prev window does not work

Please let me know what else you would like me to try/share.

Thanks!
Neb

Re: Next/Previous Window Swap without auto focus on window

After a bit of testing.

1. You need to restart the Character Set after changing these settings.
2. "any time ISBoxer focuses a window" seems to provide the behaviour you are after, oddly enough. In my testing, using the per Slot hotkeys and the Next Window mapped key, these moved the game to the active region. Clicking on a game window didn't seem to move it to the active region, despite it being "focused".

/e turns out it is not so "odd". When you click on a Window, it is YOU that is focusing it. Not ISBoxer. ISBoxer focusing is hotkeys/next window/wheel switching/videofx etc. Tiny distinction in there, that is unfortunately not completely conveyed in the option selection list. We shall update the documentation.

Thanks Bob, seems to be working. I will mark as solved and will test if VFX gets in the way next (hopefully smooth sailing).

Cheers
