Hi All,

As a multi-boxer, I often have a lot of trouble of alt-tabbing between instances of my alts. Thus, I created an alternative. https://github.com/mynameisgonz/FFXI-Apps/tree/main/FFXI%20Character%20Manager

This program, written and requires .NET 6.0, simply is a box that allows you to either click on or press a hotkey to flip between instances.



This application does not hook into POL/FFXI/Windower and does not do anything more than get the open POL Processes, makes a list, and allows you to swap through them on Windows.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues. Instructions are on the Github. Enjoy.

Awesome! Sooooo going to try this out. I’ve always wanted a way to just make a hot key for each window. Thanks! I’m excited to try this.

Let me know how it goes!

Very cool! Any suggestions on what keys to use? Num keys end up moving my chars, etc. It would be great to use a key that never gets used.

Edit: so I mapped them to F13-F18, works well but one issue I see is if someone DC's it changes their "position" with the keys. So my usually F13 char dc's, he now is F18 and everyone else moves up one spot, if that makes sense.

So I unbind those keys in my gearswaps:

send_command('bind numpad1 input')
send_command('bind numpad2 input')
send_command('bind numpad3 input')
send_command('bind numpad4 input')
send_command('bind numpad5 input')
send_command('bind numpad6 input')
send_command('bind numpad0 input')

Yeah, I made it so it autorefreshes accordingly. The logic to keep positions and empty ones is something I can look into.

Would be very cool to change the bindings from box to characters name (window name/title)

I am having trouble getting this to work (probably doing something really simple wrong) I downloaded and installed .net 6.0 and when I go to run as administrator is still gives the message it is missing and I need to install. Any idea how I have messed up something so easy?

Seems cool but i dont see the point too much. On my laptop I can hit alt(and hold it) and then tab and it shows every window and I can simply click which one.

Working great so far, thanks for this. Makes flipping to an exact instance very quick and easy.

Are media keys bindable? Windower will not allow me to bind scripts to media keys but maybe you can bind them to this?

I’m trying to use the delete, end, and page down keys. It just crashes whenever I hit any key on my keyboard. I was trying to pick keys I don’t use, doesn’t leave many options. I think I’m stuck alt-tabbing forever.

Did you use the key denoted in the Microsoft link on github?

Posting to be able to reference back to it. Looks good though it would be nice to be able to pivot away from ffxi monitor switch

Great program ! Thank you for that :)
Is it possible to assign a character to "box1" "box2" "box3" etc... ?
Because it seems that box1 is always first character logged, but for keep the same bindings for same characters, it's not possible like that.

Shameless bump. I love this, it's made multiboxing so much better for a variety of situations. My only wish is that you could assign characters to the same location(keybind) every time. I frequently will have someone dc and it alters the keys I need to hit to bring that instance up.
