Hotkey Feature Request

I use Multiplicity to play WoW on 2 boxes and I think it's working really well.

However I do wish it could have 2 additional features: first is the ability to set any key as the switch hotkey. Right now only the function keys can be bound as the hotkey, but it would be nice if we can bind any key to the function (such as Alt-V, etc). Second feature is to add a hotkey that simply toggles between the primary and the secondary. Currently I use 4th and 5th mouse buttons to switch between primary and secondary. However, it would be awesome if I can just use the 5th button to toggle between the two computers. The reason for this is because before I use Multiplicity, I already use the mouse buttons for other things, and buttons/keys are a really scarce resource when playing games, so if I can achieve what I want with only one button instead of two, it is tremendously better.

If these features can go in a future version, it would really help gamers a lot.

Thank you for your time.

I'm all for this as well. I would love to switch to multiplicity from my current solution but I use a variety of programs that require certain Fxx keys so I end up having to use the mouse buttons (for some reason I can't use the scroll lock because of some conflict with Logitech Setpoint, if anyone has a workaround for this...).
I would love to be able to pick my own hotkey taht would toggle between the main and secondary (as a matter of fact I could have sworn the last time I tried multiplicity that was possible).

You can pick a hotkey (switching tab - hotkey setup button)

Yes, except all the hotkeys available to chose from are Fkeys. I use my Fkeys/ctrl+Fkeys/alt+Fkeys and would need to use something different like insert/delete/pause/etc

Oh, and I specifically mentioned a toggle key, which unless I missed an option isn't available. I want a single key that when pressed will switch (or cycle in the case of more than 2 systems) between systems.

Enable wrapping mode in Multiplicity and then the hotkeys will also wrap.
