Do these new policies include key macros? ie: using 1 key to trigger multiple keys.

And how does CCP intend on enforcing these policies without being able to monitor the users actions first hand?

Does this include programs that allow pass though clicks/keypress?

there are no new policies, only clarification.

key macro (multiple action via single key) is a no-no since like forever

As for the second question CCP will never tell You how they detection software works, but do read on anomalies detection a little.

Thanks Grimmi

Just to clarify on this note, cutting up a windows is not allowed as you've put here, it has to be a full unchanged window, but what about if people layer their windows in such a way that only the relevant part of each is displayed? As I pointed out in a previous post, this is OK, but this is not OK. It seems like an entirely ridiculous distinction. I can understand why disallowing the ability to click through on those segments of windows would be impossible, but for viewing only, people will be able to see parts of inactive windows simply by layout alone, and the worry people have is that by doing it they will get banned as there's no way to really prove they weren't using a cut out overview/ship status vs layered windows (or window previews).

You see, this:Is the most important part to me, ensuring that there's enough of a distinction to ensure people aren't just being banned because they are cleverly using their screen/window management tools and window previews. With EVE-O preview (and now with windows 10 features alone) people can achieve a pretty high level of efficiency, certainly what would be considered an advantage over those that don't use it (which is why people bother to use it in the first place). I think a lot of people just want to be assured that they won't suddenly be banned because they've become "too efficient" while they still follow the rules completely. Because let's face it, being able to rapidly switch between 16 clients certainly would achieve things that aren't achievable "through normal means".

What about applications which display only a portion of the eve client in preview mode, such as ontopreplica showing the local user list from a scout?

This is a major use-case for a lot of people.

I hope so, but would be good to have confirmation that they can (and do) differentiate between key bursts sent to the EVE client, vs key bursts to other applications on the same system while the EVE client is open.

Rejoice PLH wont get you banned

Also good to know you are not banning monitors, LOL

Overlays which contain a full, unchanged, EVE Client instance in a view only mode, << those words answer your question. Chopped up windows = not OK. Full client = OK. This ties into the original blog where it said elements.

You can use the same application to clone the entire window, then resize it among other things. Which would not break the EULA as described.

So does that mean you're banned if you break the rules? Or merely if you use a program which could potentially break said rules?

I'll simplify it for you:

• If it's the former they'll have difficulty distinguishing between actual abuse and normal use of the window management software.
• If it's the latter you simply cannot use any capable window management software without the risk of being randomly banned (since if it includes the potential to be used that way - you simply cannot risk using it).

The distinction is fairly important.
