Using sandstonedragon in dual-boxing

I am newbie in dual boxing and get lost in all keymapping...
I have my main char A in monitor 1 mounting the sandstonedragon ( transforming into it) and now i want char B in monitor 2 who is in follow mode to also mount the "char A" mount. Currently i have to swap the monitor displays to make char B window to be shown in monitor 1 , then do the mount and finally swap back the two displayed windows. This is ackward but my tries to define a hotkey to make char B "interact with char A" are not successful.

Is there a definition to achieve the mounting of char B without all that swapping?

Antoher question perhaps: my two monitors have same size. Is it possible to avoid the swapping, just switch to the window of char B when I want to directly control it, then move the mouse back into window 1 of monitor 1 to resume playing the main char A?

After turning into the dragon... target yourself, press your assist key, and then your Interact with Target key. You'll want to set an Interact with Target key in game and in ISBoxer under Variable Keystrokes. Then under your General Key Map, set a Hotkey for the Mapped Key named Interact with Target.

By pressing the Interact with Target Hotkey that you set in ISBoxer will make your other character target whatever you're targeting and interact with it. You can check out this page for more info (http://isboxer.com/wiki/WoW:Interact_with_Target) but the video there is slightly out of date (but the concept is almost the same).

It's good practice to break up multiple questions that don't pertain to each other in case someone else is looking for the same thing (e.g. Trying to find this answer in the Window Layout sub-forum but the answer is actually posted in the Key Maps sub-forum). With that being said, you'll want to re-run the Window Layout Wizard and disable Cross Monitor Swapping on the right-hand panel of options, then you should be able to choose a layout like you describe from the drop-down list.
