I have been using IS and ISBoxer on 1 pc/2 monitors for 5 character in WoW with no issues. However, once I upgraded to Build #31, I noticed the added support for multiple pc's, so I read the guides and set it all up for 5 pcs-1 char each.
The setup was extremely simple but I am not able to get my hotkeys (broadcast keys to activate Hot character) to work whatsoever.
My setup with a single pc worked flawlessly and I am using the same setup in ISBoxer with the exception of placing each character in it's own set per pc as the guide instructs.
I am trying to use ctl-shft-F1 through F5 via my X-Keys Pro to activate the Hot character on it's respective pc when needed.
I have entered the individual switch keys on the "Hotkey to switch to this character" box and the "Broadcast Keystroke" box with the follow and focus options checked.
All export to each pc with no problem, but the keys do nothing in game.
The ISBoxer addon is active in WoW and so far the few simple macros I have setup in testing seem to work fine, I just cant change the active character to be the lead.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Issue with ISBoxer Toolkit Build #31

Yeah, actually with multiple PCs this part of the configuration doesn't work as you're hoping. The Hotkey to switch to the character and Hot Character switch notifier applies only to the Character Set on that PC. I will have to better document this part for multiple PCs.The setup was extremely simple but I am not able to get my hotkeys (broadcast keys to activate Hot character) to work whatsoever.

What you're going to have to do is set up Mapped Keys for these hotkeys (assign to the keys you had set the switch hotkeys to), each with WoW Macro Actions. The WoW Macro Action key combination should be the same as what you had the broadcast keystroke set for in the Hot Character switch notifier.
You can also set up KVM Mode, using additional actions on the same Mapped Keys, which can broadcast to the selected window. Note that to broadcast to a specific window on another PC, you must put that Character in its own Action Target Group (it can be the character's name for example).
So you might do something like this:
Mapped Key 1 (CTRL+F1):
- WoW Macro Action: CTRL+F1, /focus <main char name, main PC>
- Repeater State Action: Off
- Repeater Target Action: "all w/o current"
- Popup Text Action: KVM Mode: Char 1
Mapped Key 2 (CTRL+F2):
- WoW Macro Action: CTRL+F2, /focus <char 2 name>
- Repeater Target Action: "action target group for char 2"
- Repeater State Action: On
- Popup Text Action: KVM Mode: Char 2
Mapped Key 3 (CTRL+F3):
- WoW Macro Action: CTRL+F3, /focus <char 3 name>
- Repeater Target Action: "action target group for char 3"
- Repeater State Action: On
- Popup Text Action: KVM Mode: Char 3
... and so on, copying 2 and 3 (1 is different because it needs to disable the KVM mode)
