Need help with simple window swap

http://www.privatepaste.com/ba9778c0ba

Ok, I'm starting a brand new config from scratch. I just did the quick setup wizard and left everything as the default. I have a dual-monitor setup (and I'm running 2 accounts on EverQuest2), so I selected the "full screen per character (swapping)" option in the window layout wizard. I go into the "always on" keymaps and set the "next window" hotkey to be "Ctrl+shift".

I launch my character set and each one loads on their respective screens. I click the repeater on button and type my password which works on both screens/accounts. But when I press "Ctrl+shift" nothing happens. I can't get the screens to swap.

If I click my mouse over on the secondary monitor, they swap instantly. But I would like to have them instantly swap via a hotkey whenever I press it.

This seems like it would be very simple, but I just can't figure it out. Thank you in advance for any help or assistance.

I think you're going to need to choose an actual keyboard key (or even mouse button) rather than just two modifier keys.

Re: Need help with simple window swap

Thanks MiRai. I had actually tried several different ones before posting my problem here, but none of them worked. I just edited my config and tried "Ctrl+Shift+S" and then "Shift+5" to confirm but neither of those worked either. The only reason I had Ctrl+Shift was because I found another post of a guy with a similar problem and that was the hotkey he was using that Lax was helping him on and it was the last one I had in my config before posting this.

All I'm trying to do is a simple window rotate as seen here:

Rotate windows

How to configure a Hotkey to rotate between windows

In the top left pane in ISBoxer, under Key Maps, select "Always On" (or "Control" if playing WoW)
In the bottom left pane, under Mapped Keys, select "Next window"
In the bottom right pane, at the top, is a Hotkey option. Click the < and configure your desired Hotkey
Export to Inner Space

Just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

BTW - I spent a lot of time working on this today and reading about it before posting here. I watched a lot of your tutorial videos too about layouts and all. You are very talented at making those vids and they are very professionally done. They're informative and entertaining as well. Thank you very much for those! Lax is lucky to have you doing those for all of us!!!!!
