Innerspace not allowing Right Shift etc

I am setting up macro key combinations for a heap of macros. When I use (Left) Shift+any key for one macro and Right Shift+same key for another macro, innerspace gives an error and stops the import. In other words it does not recognize the difference between Left and Right shift, alt or cntl.

Am I missing a setting or something? I do have all of the "Additional Modifiers" checked.

This is where you run into the error you mentioned. I don't play WOW but another awesome video of MiRai explaining ISBoxer World of Warcraft Macro Library covers that (i think) at 2m43s.

I really hope that watching his video clears your problem for you.
Otherwise i am asking everyone else who have experience in WOW Macros to help you out.

Thank you for the link. That was a very informative video and I see that I do not need to have check all of the additional modifiers since I dont use them.

Unfortunately, the video didnt help with my little problem though :(

That's too bad. But for more and better troubleshooting you could share your configuration (WIKI: Configuration Sharing).

Re: Innerspace not allowing Right Shift etc

The problem you're having is just that you're going about it wrong. This is a limitation of bindings in the game (and ISBoxer is making sure you do it according to the game's rules). To demonstrate, go into the game's Key Binding screen and try binding something to Right Shift+whatever, and observe that it clearly just says "Shift+whatever"

To differentiate between different shifts on a Hotkey, in a WoW Macro, you need to bind it to <whatever> without the left or right shift, then use [mod:lshift] and [mod:rshift] conditionals as part of your WoW Macro to tell which Shift key might have been pressed with the Hotkey.

Then in ISBoxer, since you're hopefully using a WoW Macro Set, check the boxes to allow left/right shift. When you use a Named WoW Macro Action to perform your Macro, you can then check the left/right shift boxes as needed

Re: Innerspace not allowing Right Shift etc

Lax thank you for the explanation. You are right I was doing it wrong. I subsequently realized this and rethought my WoW Macro Key Combination assignments and re-did them. I was really hoping that I could use L and R shift, alt and cntl for the key combinations because it would open up many more spots to bind my macros.

I am using macros for DPS Rot 1, DPS Rot 2, Proc, CDs and AOE Rot for a total of 15 different level 90 specs. You can probably see me concern for binding space. :lol:

Thanks again

Each character can only have 3 possible specs, not 15, right?

If you're assigning every single macro you're making to every single character you're doing it wrong...

Re: Innerspace not allowing Right Shift etc

I have 3 5 man teams

Team 1 = DK Blood, Priest Disc, Hunter BM, Shammy Elem, Mage Frost

Team 2 = War Prot, Druid Resto, DK Frost, Rogue Sub, War Fury

Team 3 = Pally Prot, Pally Holy, Mage Arcane, Warlock Destro, Monk WW

Thats 15 separate characters and 15 different specs.....

How am I doing it wrong? I leveled team 3 from 85 to 90 using IS steppped rotations but switched to priority macros at 90 which the rest of my toons were already using. The only way I can think of that I am "doing it wrong" is by sitting here arguing with you after I paying for your product. (which I think is excellent btw)

Re: Innerspace not allowing Right Shift etc

Here is one way to handle multiple mixed-class teams: ISBoxer Pro Configuration. Under such a system, with the 5 macros you mentioned, you would only need to use 5 key bindings, not 15*5.

It's just about managing the WoW Macros in WoW Macro Sets, and which WoW Macro Sets are assigned to which guys. The DK doesn't need any of the Priest-specific macros, and because of that, the DK macros don't need a different set of Key Combinations than the Priest macros. If there's 90 DK macros you need, and 90 Priest macros you need, then you still only need a total of 90 Key Combinations. They don't conflict because they are only assigned to the class that needs them

What we demonstrate with the Pro Config (linked by Alge) is that you can set up a WoW Macro Set for your DKs, and assign the set to only your DKs; another for your Priests; another for your Hunters; etc. Each of these can reuse the same Key Combinations without having to cleverly identify different left/right modifiers. I just use Ctrl+Shift+Alt+___ for most of the macros I need
