Problems with shift key modifier

Hi I'm a brand new multi-boxer (a total noob one at that), and have really been enjoying the software so far. I wanted to go beyond the default setup of 0-9 keys etc... that were setup for me in the wizard for WoW. I figured out how to copy one of my characters keybinds which is now listed as "WoW Keybinds" under "Mapped Keys" and is perfect because these are all the keys that I use when playing any of the characters on my main account. I was able to successfully use my A-Z keys to activate a single ability on two different accounts so I know that is working properly (hopefully that makes sense :) ). I'm dualboxing two hutners at the moment, and trying to make their abilities identical....so far so good except the only snag I'm having is I can't seem to get shift key modifiers to work properly across both accounts when trying to use a single skill. I tried searching the ISboxer forums and even google, and the only thing I could find was to make sure that "Hold and Keystroke Actions while Hotkey is held" was set for the mapped keys, which it appears that all keys with the shift modifier are set as "default on." I am at a loss as to what I am missing, so I went on ahead and followed the instructions for posting my configuration to pastebin http://pastebin.com/4z5n90SJ. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated thanks!

I honestly don't know how you achieved this, but it's certainly not something that is used at all anymore these days, so I would suggest just deleting it altogether so that it doesn't cause any conflicts.

There is nothing in the profile that you shared which is set up to broadcast your "A-Z keys," so I'm going to assume you either had broadcasting turned on when testing this (it should be turned off when in combat/DPSing), or you've since deleted the Mapped Keys after testing that. The only keys which are currently set up to be sent to more than one game client are 1 through = on the number row of your keyboard, and the letter R.

Two things...

1) You should just run the Mapped Key Wizard to set up any and all basic Mapped Keys that you need.

2) You do not need the Hold option to be enabled when using modifiers and playing World of Warcraft, and, in fact, that can cause issues with FTL.

This was a quick reply, so if you still need assistance with this then just ask, but if you have an brand new and entirely separate question after this, then please open a new thread (new topic = new thread).
