@Wizeowel, thanks for your reply. I have the following setup currently:
- single monitor with 3 windows (one being primary and two smaller secondary ones)
- when I click in a secondary window it swaps with the main window and becomes the main
- 1 swaps with 2 and 1 swaps with 3
- this is the stock standard setup done through the wizard
What I'd like is the following:
- when I press *and hold* the CAPS LOCK key, window 2 becomes the main large window and I *control it* temporarily while the CAPS LOCK key is pressed
- as soon as I let go of the CAPS LOCK key, window 1 (default main character) goes back to being the primary large window
- I would have a similar key binding for window 3, so that when I press say SHIFT-S, window 2 becomes the main large window and I control it temporarily while the CAPS LOCK key is pressed
Hope you can help

These allow you to control your other toons directly without switching away from the main window (usually by driving with the mouse). Set some hotkeys on them. They are numbered for each slot.
Hi bob, this is great - when I press these hotkeys I can control window 2 and 3 using the mouse and window 1 doesn't register mouse clicks. But is it possible that when I press these hotkeys (e.g. CAPS LOCK) that not only do I control window 2 (for example) temporarily but it also makes window 2 primary while the CAPS LOCK key is depressed?
So sequence:
Window 1 primary (large), windows 2 and 3 small underneath
I press *and hold* CAPS LOCK key
Window 2 becomes primary (large) temporarily while CAPS LOCK is held *and* I can control it
I release CAPS LOCK key
Window 2 goes back to being small and not controlled
Window 1 goes back to being primary and large
Same for window 3 as above only with a different keymap
Hoping you can help. Thanks

Can you tell us more about your window layout? Is it VFX? Is there a swap region or are the 3 slots static?
