Key Map Parser: Track your combos, find those duplicates!

Can't remember what key combos you have used? Can't find that duplicate key combo?

The following Excel 2010 file reads your ISBoxer configuration file and parses it for all of your key combinations.

Download: ISBoxer XML KeyMap Parser v4.2.xlsm
Updated: 5-7-12
Bug and logic updates.
Clearer color coding.

What it does:
  • Automatically loads your file
  • Seeks out and presents suspect duplicated key maps
  • Sorts and organizes them for easy debugging
  • Allows for "Virtualizing", an advanced key mapping technique
  • Shows either duplicates only or all key maps
  • Creates a matrix of key combinations on sheet 2
  • The matrix shows what combos you have used and have left
  • The matrix highlights duplications
  • Compatible with G13 and G510 keyboards
  • Up to 8 button mouse
  • Supports all standard keys, and some not so standard
  • Game independent
  • Printer Friendly!


When I say "suspect" duplications that means due to ISBoxer's vast flexibility, the parser may find duplicates that don't necessarily impact your play. For example, key combos from one team don't affect another. I may have missed/ignored other otherwise safe duplications.

For simplicity's sake, if a combo is duplicated, virtualizing or not, only one combo name shows in the matrix. The matrix isn't comprehensive, it just ticks off what combo combinations have been used. However, all duplicated combos will be commented, showing all uses of that combo.

If you use Right Mods like Right Ctrl, Right Shift, etc., there is a toggle for that. Due to the extra permutations created when using Right Mods they add a significant delay to the parsing time. If you don't use them, turn them off.

Also, the dark yellow FTL warning strip reminds you that unless you're desperately searching for unused combos, you should avoid those, since they stand a high chance of being used for FTL.


If you find bugs or unexpected results, please:
  • Describe fully what you suspect is happening
  • Go to http://www.privatepaste.com
  • Paste your configuration file
  • Paste their generated link in your reply

Re: Key Map Parser

Nice work Fogyreef :)

This will be very helpful for me when setting up WoW macros within ISBoxer.

Re: Key Map Parser: Track your combos, find those duplicates!

New version!

Added auto comments: Because the matrix displays distinct combos and not an exploded view of all key maps, when a combo is duplicated all the instances of that combo stack in the same cell. I added a comment so you can hover over the cell and see what is using that combo. Only duplicated combos need this.

Added Right mods: It's not pretty, and it significantly slows the process, but for those of you using "Right Ctrl", "Right Alt", etc. those should now show on the matrix. It added four pages to the matrix, so scroll away.

Not many people use the right mods, so as always, if you find a problem use the instructions in the first post to reply here.

Edit: Also added a Right Mods Toggle. If you don't use them, turn it off to speed things up.

Is 4.2 the latest and greatest?
