Set the Mapped Key to "Execute a Step when the Hotkey is pressed or released." In the Advanced settings of the Mapped Key check the toggle for "Reset to Step 1 after X seconds from the first Hotkey press." Set that timer to .5 or 1 seconds. In this manner the Mapped Key will always start on Step one.
This helped quite a bit. The problem still happens but not near as much.

but if you make it a 4-step mapped key you might get closer to what you want.
This also helped even more. With these 2 options the problem may be resolved, I will try to explain what my problem is a different way in case y'all have better solutions.
starting this mapped key by pressing my hotkey
press key -- step 1 open chat box
release key -- step 2 paste text
press key -- step 3 close chat box + timer to turn mapped key off/on
mapped key set to activate on press OR release
Problem 1: when spamming the hotkey and when the mapped key resets to step 1, I could be activating it on a release leaving my toon with an open chatbox.
Problem 2: when spamming the hotkey and when the mapped key is on step 3, if I stop spamming the hotkey my toon has an open chatbox with pasted text.
What I think I am looking for is a way to make a mapped key only start on a key press but continue on with press OR release. This would solve problem 1. If the mapped key was only 2 steps I think that would solve problem 2.
Again with the 2 solutions this problem only happens when I really TRY to make it happen.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to create in-game macros
1: it seemed like the thing to do to use the Like A Pro system, set up key maps for each soul, using Action Target Groups to plug those key maps into whichever slot was using that soul. Using virtualization I would never need to know which action bar key held what macro or ability. I could set up a mapped key that cycles thru instant cast abilities that do damage over time. I think I can do it in ISBoxer, not sure if I can in Rift macros.
2: It's fun for me.
I like using ISBoxer probably more than I like playing MMO's. I like the challenge of setting things up and getting them to work correctly.
I will have to use macros in game until I can get this to work, but I like the challenge of trying it this way. This team is only level 15. Trying to start early learning how to set up all this stuff without using someone else profile and just changing the names.
