shareing keymap issue thats hopefully resolved
after a certain point basic things wouldn't work. simple button broadcasting / keybroadcasting wouldn't work.
After talking it through and trying some things, it started working again when I undid the quick launch (forgot I tried that to try to get an icon) earlier. Also I noticed each time I was logging in that I had to undo full screen. I used a virtualized session to make sure that the "Default" was not full screen.
I'm not sure which part of the quick launch/full screen was part of this, but I'm glad its working now.
I just got neverboxer, and I had the same issue with keys not working (prior to the above fix). hopefully I can finally get gaming now.
