Help with Asheron's Call 2

Hiya, I have a couple of chars in Asheron's Call 2 and was recommended isboxer as a way to multi-box.

Having a few issues unfortunately...

http://pastebin.com/GXLqpb7P <--- my profile, pretty basic I know ;)

Problems I am finding, having to press keys twice to get the desired action (tried setting delays either did not work at all or made no difference).

I set new keys up and they just plain don`t work or only complete the first step but don`t complete the second, this happens with straight broadcasts too, one example is ` key, its auto attack in the game as default and would like to keep it as such but it just refuses to broadcast for some reason.

And lastly is there any way to have a two monitor setup without switching avoiding task-bar, am probably blind but I could not see it as one of the options.

Thanks in advance ;)

I set new keys up and they just plain don`t work or only complete the first step but don`t complete the second,

Each Step in a Mapped Key requires a separate physical keypress action. I.e. you press a key on the keyboard and ISBoxer will execute a Step in a mapped key. Depending on the game, you might be able to queue multiple actions in each step, although this is fairly rare and most games will just ignore the extra actions.

HOWEVER, the above said, each keypress actually has two distinct physical actions. the downstroke and the upstroke. ISBoxer can take advantage of that and execute a Step on the downstroke, and a second step on the upstroke. You can set this by selecting your mapped key and setting the Execute a Step when "Pressed Or Released".

n.b this is the setting, select it from the drop down.
Delays are to prevent steps from changing immediately, so if you are mashing the hotkey real fast, you can stop the steps from moving on to the next step. Handy if you have a casting time and a second action in game would interrupt it.

Some keys might not work as expected. Normally this is if your game is using DirectInput to accept incoming input, and you happen to be using a non US-EN keyboard layout. If this is the case, then you will be out of luck as there is no fix for it. It might also be caused by the fact that the Combat Key Map is not assigned to your character set (well, team 2 anyway), so currently, when you first load up, unless you disable and then enable Key Maps again (the toggle button or SHIFT+ALT+M), it wont be loaded (I mention this because your ` hotkey is in the Combat key map).

Yep. In the Window Layout Wizard, on the right hand side of the layout styles, there are a bunch of options you can set. You can set Enable Swapping to False, and then select "Multi-monitor on \\.\DISPLAY1 and \\.\DISPLAY2 (Avoid Taskbar)" from the dropdown.

Bonus points. At the moment your AC2 Key Map will not be disabled if you try to disable Key Maps... I added a new Key Map but the Key Maps toggle does not disable it
