Question - MQ Keybinds vs EQ Key bindings (1 Viewer)

What is this section of MacroQuest.ini for? Why are there sections with NAVKEY and MUTILS?

When I run multiple characters from the same install directory, they all share the same EQCLIENT.ini, which means they all share the same keybindings. Is there anyway I can use MQ2 to have customer key bindings per character? For example, on my DPS clients, I want 1-5 to cast spell gems... but on my healer, I want 1-6 to run macros that heal player 1 - 6. I am aware that this function is ISBOXER territory, but I am trying hard to not use that.

KEYBINDS:

Thanks CWTN
/keypress RANGE_Nrm
etc

NAVKEY = MQ2Nav
MUTILS = MQ2MoveUtils

Is there any way to have MQ block a key from what the EQCLIENT.ini says it should do, on a per client basis? Unfortunately eqclient.ini binds keys for all characters running on that machine. On some characters I have a mash bar with multibinds, but those hotbar slots have a different use case on other characters.
 
Some people use a program like isboxer to use different INIs I believe.
I'm not personally aware of a way to do it beyond just having a different INI for each character and setting each character up the way you're wanting it to be.
You could just /bct charname /keypress 1
etc for characters you want to press the 1 key for their hotbar instead of just sending stuff to all the people.
