Personal fork of the BindPad WoW Addon
by Tageshi
BindPad is an addon to make key bindings for spells, items, and macros. You no longer need actionbar slots just to make key bindings for your macros etc.
The BindPad addon provides many icon slots in its frame. You can drag and drop anything into one of these slots, and click the slot to set key bindings.
/bindpad
or /bp

will appear.Close
button.Note that key bindings itself will not be unbound when you delete the icon.
To unbind it, click the icon and click the Unbind
button on the dialog window.
Also you can simply override key bindings with different ones.
There are four tabs called slot tabs at the top of the BindPad frame:
General
slots are common icons used for every character and every spec.Character Specific
slots are for icons specific to the current characterand current spec.Character Specific
slots.Note that you can only use the Character Specific
tab after clicking
the Character Specific Key Bindings
checkbox.
There are another three tabs on the side of BindPad frame.
Different Profiles can hold different contents in Character Specific
slots.
You can click a profile tab to switch your current profile, and your choice of
profile is saved for each talent spec and automatically reverted to former
profile when you change talent specs. If you choose the same profile for both
talent specs this automatic change will not happen.
Note that General
slots are not effected by a profile change, as all
contents of the General
tab are common to all characters AND all specs.
If you change your profile while the General
tab is shown,
BindPad will automatically show the Character Specific
slots tab of
the specified profile.
No, you cannot.
If you need different skills bound for different stances/forms, simply use the stance condition to decide on what skill to use.
Example: /cast [stance:1/2] Berserker Stance; [stance:3] Intercept
Where [stance:1/2]
is conditioning the macro for you to be in Battle Stance
or Defensive Stance
and [stance:3]
is conditioning you to be in Berserker Stance
.
This works for all classes with stances (Including Rogues for Stealth
([stance:1]
)
and Shadow Dance
([stance:2]
) or none of the previous [stance:0]
).
Druid example: /cast [stance:1] Bash; [nostance:1] Healing Touch
[nostance] = Caster, [stance:1] = Bear, [stance:2] = Aquatic, [stance:3] = Cat, [stance:4] = Travel, [stance:5] = Tree/Moonkin if available else Flight, [stance:6] = Flight if Tree/Moonkin is not available.
"BindPad Macro" is a new feature from BindPad version 1.8.0 which allows you to make almost unlimited number of virtual macro icons.
Older versions of BindPad just let you save your limited action bar slots. This new BindPad will let you save your limited macro slots on the standard "Create Macro" panel.
Usage:
Note that BindPad Macro will only exist within the BindPad frame; You can drag-and-drop them within BindPad, but you cannot drop them outside.
BindPad addon utilizes basic functions from the WoW API.
You can use these functions (and many others) in any addons or macros.
GetBindingKey("command")
SetBinding("KEY", "command")
SetBindingSpell("KEY", "Spell Name")
SetBindingItem("KEY", "itemname")
SetBindingMacro("KEY", "macroname"|macroid)
Just don't forget to save changes by calling SaveBindings(GetCurrentBindingSet())
.
There are some other similar addons by other authors. Try them and choose what you like.
