WoW Classic Mouse Broadcast
What works in game:
Mouse Scrolling works across all toons in all areas of the UI
When enabled; click to move works across all toons along with all of it's quirks
All mouse "click" functions work across all toons
What doesn't work in game:
In WoW Classic there is no MouseLook Keybind option. You can however use `/script MouselookStart()` and `/script MouselookStop()` to manually turn it on or create macros. That said you can hold either the left or right mouse buttons to pan the camera (common knowledge) which is pretty much the same behavior but without having to hold down either the left or right mouse buttons. With mouse broadcasting on, I would expect to also have the ability to pan the camera in all my toons but it only works from Window:Current. I tried creating the before mentioned macros and mapped them to a toggle... this works but when it's toggled on (visual indication is that the mouse cursor is gone) I can move my mouse around and pan the camera but again ONLY from Window:Current; it did send the toggle to the other slots though because I can see that the mouse pointer is gone and when I use a hot key to flip to another slot, moving the mouse pans the cameras. *scratches head*
My guess is that something is going on with the X and Y inputs of the mouse not being sent to the other slots. But, here is the kicker... if I log out to the character selection screen, I can use the mouse to spin the characters around on all slots!
I'm using a Swiftpoint Z mouse. I also have a Logitech G700 I tried. Same behavior.
