can't find console
While I bought an ISBOXER subscription a long time ago, this is the first time I tried to use it.
Running win7 on this machine. Trying to set up for Everquest 1, which I routinely 3- or 4-box without isboxer.
I downloaded isboxer and went through the install. When I start it I get an icon on the taskbar. Right-click on the icon gives me a menu, clicked Add Game, pointed to the everquest launchpad exe, and called the game EQ.
Clicking EQ gives me an option for "EQ default profile", clicking that launches the game. I can start several EQ sessions this way, and each comes up in a window labelled is1, is2, etc. With a parenthettical hotkey ctrl-alt-1, -2, and so on, and sure enough those key combinations work to bring the associated window into focus.
At this point I can play the game just like I always have, with my windows about 3/4ths full-screen size, overlapped and staggered so I can click the edge of the one I want to do something with. Except for a couple of annoyances. Like, if I click a spell gem or hotkey on a window which was not the focus, it does not do anything but bring the window to the top. I have to click it again to cause the desired action. Without isboxer, the clicks are effective the first time.
Of course if I can get this working, I can presumably use keys from my main window to do things on the other sessions, so then it won't be a problem.
But I cannot find any way to set up character sets or hotkeys or such. Both the "console" and "configuration" selections in the icon right-click menu bring up an "Inner Space Uplink" window which has a couple of sub-windows in it:
an "innerspace configuration" window with 5(?) tabs at the top, and an "uplink console" window showing successful launches of the game sessions and what seems to be a command line at the bottom.
Nowhere is there anything that looks like what is called a "console" in the website pictures, or anything that talks about wizards or character sets or hotkeys.
I read somewhere that ctrl-alt-q might bring it up, but they did not say in what context this key was active and it does not seem to do anything in game or in the innerspace configuration screen.
Can someone give me a clue? I obviously am missing something very basic here.
