Keybinds are not working correctly

First let me say this isnt my first time using ISBoxer. About a year ago i used it for like 8 months with WOW running 5 accounts and an FTL setup with multiple computers and everything. I got pretty good at configuring ISBoxer but this time around with EVE it is just not working out at all.

I have added nearly all the keyboard keys i need to broadcast to a series of Key Maps using the wizard. There is nothing special about them they are just direct broadcasts to another instance on the same computer. I am only running 2 instances of EVE with this current setup.

Steps taken:
1 ran wizard to add 2 characters using all default settings
2. Added all my hotkeys to several keymaps using the add keymap wizard (added almost every key on keyboard including SHIFT versions (shift a etc.)
3. ensured that all keymaps are assigned to my default character set
4. Saved Profile and exported to innerspace
5. launched character set

Problem 1: Seems like anything with an ALT in it does not want to work and only throws a windows error sound. See other topic viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3569

Problem 2: when i have keymaps off all hotkeys still broadcast. In my past experience when you have keymaps off ALL keys should function normally and not broadcast. I have not messed with the whitelist/Blacklisting settings at all.

Re: Keybinds are not working correctly

1. Thank you, I will look into that issue with EVE. It's possible that a different Windowed/Fullscreen mode setting in the game will affect this behavior, so that's something you can try fiddling with...

2. FAQ: I added a new Key Map but the Key Maps toggle does not disable it? :)

Re: Keybinds are not working correctly

I want to update this and say that im noticing another strange thing.

Any keybind with Shift or CTRL in it is not working correctly either.

Strange part is if i activate the ingame chat box on both screens and hit SHIFT R i get a capital R on both screens but if i try hitting SHIFT R to activate a hotkey i have set up for returning my Drones it does not work.

In other words it seems to work only when im typing in chat. Not sure why it would work in a chat box but not outside the chat box.

Re: Keybinds are not working correctly

It looks like all those Mapped Keys are set up properly, so I suspect something else is going on. Is there anything unusual about your hardware or software? Are you using an English keyboard and keyboard layout?

Also, does it work properly when you first launch your Character Set and then stop working at some point? If you could pin down what caused it to stop working (some key combination maybe) that would help us work out what is going wrong.

Re: Keybinds are not working correctly

Im using a G15 keyboard is only thing that might have affect.

Also it is persistent throughout game play.

Re: Keybinds are not working correctly

Enable the HOLD option on your Mapped Keys for the Alt, Shift, and Ctrl modifiers to send correctly with EVE.

Using a Hotkey with Alt will still cause beeps (error sound), but this should all otherwise work

(Looking into a fix for these things, but here's your workaround for now)

Re: Keybinds are not working correctly

Inner Space build 5783, now the development build, fixes the beeps. To try it out, right click IS and select Patcher, check "Download development (test) patches" and then close and restart Inner Space to let it patch up.

You will still need to use the Hold option for modifiers in your Keystroke Actions to be detected correctly by the game.

Re: Keybinds are not working correctly

Ok i downloaded the new version and reloaded InnerSpace and did your suggestion with the HOLD option and everything works but ALT keybinds are still making the windows noise.
