Extend the switch window hotkeys

Post by dewey2461 » Thu Nov 03, 2016 1:45 am

Forward : (tilde) + shift
Backward : (tilde) + cntrl

( It should be pretty easy to extend whats there so may give this a look next time I'm feeling up to facing the code )

Dewey,

You won't be able to add that feature. It is in the macroquest2.exe file and is closed source. I'll look at adding it.

I'd really love to get this feature included. I'm trying to script some raids and it would be really helpful to be able to back up.

I added that a while back. I forgot to put it in the change notes.

There should be a cyclenextwindow and cycleprevwindow value in the macroquest2.ini file.

Would you check to see if the feature got checked into the source?

I have ` key set as my push to talk so I have :

[MacroQuest]
CycleNextWindow=shift+` ; This works as expected

[MacroQuest]
CyclePrevWindow=shift+` ; This does not work


I did stumble on {alt}+` as the hide / show all EQ.

Did you really mean "Shift+`" for both next and prev cycle keys?

I only had one in at a time. Basically I wanted to make sure I knew I had a working key assignment.

I'll check again for me but it was working the last time I used it. I just almost never use it as I use alt-tab.
