Default PwnBoxer switching screens

I was wondering how I switch my slave screen to my main screen quick and easy with PwnBoxer?

Check "Enable Fast Game switch", click on the button to configure it right below that, and set the key presses. I use f8-f12 to switch to games 1-5 respectively.

I think Tim should make a one button option to cycle through all the screens.

Yeah. That would be nice, but the single hot key isn't to bad.

I don't think having 1 button to go through all the screens would be helpful much at all, since nearly all situations requiring you to fast switch to another window require you to actually go to the window you want.

Personally I like the way it is set up. Yeah it sucks a little having to hover over the window you want, but at least you would never accidentally hit the wrong button and pull up the wrong window.

You don't have to. You can set f8 to switch to game 1, f9 to switch to game 2, f10 for game 3 etc. No hovering required.

I believe the way Tim has it set up (unless you don't do something funky) there really shouldn't be too much confusion. Mini window 1 (top) = game 2, next one down = game 3 etc

I think it would be greatly helpful. I normally just switch to each one every now and then to look at stuff, its not always about switching fast, sometimes crafting, comparing stuff, etc. Organizing bags is one main reason i switch

In fact it would save you some key bindings.

I think your example is completely valid, however REPLACING current functionality with this (i.e. "saving some key bindings") I think would be a bad idea.

More often then not when I am switching windows, it is to a specific one for a specific reason (i.e. when I ding for talent placement or something).

However, for the reasons Heart mentioned above, being able to bind a single button to a round robin rotation of the windows would be helpful in several circumstances, although it would just add 1 keybinding and not save any IMO
