Hotkey Next/Previous Session not Functioning

I no longer seem to have Next/Previous Session hotkeys working in ISBoxer - Ive used ISBoxer for a few years and havent had this problem before. Over the last 2 days, Ive played around with the Window Layout Wizard trying to get ISBoxer to use the space on my new monitor (now solved) but I dont think I mucked anything up regarding the Next/Previous Session Hotkeys while doing that but IDK.

When I have ISBoxer running, pressing Control+Alt+X (next session) and Control+Alt+Z (previous session) I only get a ding from my speakers. Same thing happens when I use those mapped keys on my mouse. However, when I load WinEQ, Control+Alt+X/Z work just fine as does my mouse buttons.

Ive checked my inputs via an external program and it registers those keystrokes as being input when I press them, so its not my KB, Mouse, or Logitech software (and the fact that WinEQ works just fine says the same).

I need help as somewhere Ive managed to disable Session Swapping and cant figure out how to re-enable it.

All help greatly appreciated.

Ctrl+Alt+X and Ctrl+Alt+Z are default Hotkeys built into Inner Space. However, ISBoxer disables these Hotkeys as of a few months ago (but should have been disabled much sooner). This is probably why you discovered that they no longer work.

If you would like the same Hotkeys, you will want to assign them to the "Next window" and "Previous window" Mapped Keys in the Always On Key Map. (For WoW players that's the "Control" Key Map.)
1. In the top left pane in ISBoxer, under Key Maps, select Aways On
2. In the bottom left pane under Mapped Keys, select Next window
3. In the bottom right pane at the top, click the < in the Hotkey box to set the Hotkey
4. Set it to Ctrl+Alt+X
5. Repeat 1-4 for "Previous window" and Ctrl+Alt+Z
6. Export to Inner Space

That should about do it

Thanks for the speedy reply Lax.

I do not have an "Always On" in my Key Maps. Im known for missing the obvious but I dont see it anywhere in ISBoxer (Ive looked in every submenu and right clicked each Key Map - I also looked for references for Next Window by clicking or right clicking anything as well). Add this to your statement that this type of switching was disabled months ago yet it was working for me just 2 weeks ago - it leaves me feeling Im not getting your updates. I was also having issues with the Window Layout Wizard not recognizing the increased size/resolution despite running, saving, exporting it many times (it finally took tho I didnt do anything different between each of the ~5 tries).

For reference, its happening on both of my computers and the game is EQ1.

Okay, that's fine. All this means is that you are not using the standard Key Maps that the Quick Setup Wizard generates, called "Always On", "Combat" and "Non-Combat".

Since you seem to be comfortable with creating a Mapped Key, all you really need to do is go to one of your existing Key Maps that you already have assigned to your Character Set, and add two Mapped Keys to it. One for Next window, and one for Previous window. Each of the two Mapped Keys needs one Action in it, a Window Focus Action, set to either "Rotate Forward" or "Rotate Backward".

Alternatively you can paste these into a Key Map, this is both the Next window and Previous window Hotkeys, configured for Ctrl+Alt+X and Ctrl+Alt+Z.

To paste in, click the "Select All" button at the top right corner of the Code box and then right click the highlighted text and select Copy. Then in ISBoxer, select a Key Map in the top left pane, then right click "Mapped Keys" in the bottom left pane, and you will have an option "Paste Mapped Key from Clipboard". (If this option is not there, either you didn't Copy the whole thing correctly, or you're right clicking on something other than "Mapped Keys" in the bottom left pane)

Success. Thank you Lax. I had contemplated making a custom Key Map for it but figured that it was best to ask for advice first since it was the 2nd problem I had recently. I appreciate the speedy response and the clear instructions.

Happy New Year!
