Select

This mod adds a /select command so macros can pop out a menu to use different items/spells.

To use, create a macro with /select type:criterea and click it to pop out a menu.

There are four types:

item:<x> will display items with <x> in its name or some GetItemInfo fields
spell:<x> will display spells with <x> in its name
tooltip:<x> will display items with <x> anywhere in the tooltip
companion:<Pet or Mount> will display non-combat pets or mounts

Some examples:

/select item:Bandage - items with "Bandage" in their name
/select item:Mote of - items with "Mote of" in their name
/select item:Consumables - items with "Consumables" as an item field
/select item:Food & Drink - items with "Food & Drink" as an item field
/select item:INVTYPE_TRINKET - all trinkets
/select companion:Pet - non-combat pets
/select companion:Mount - mounts
/select spell:Shout - spells with "Shout" in their name
/select tooltip:Quest Item - items with "Quest Item" in their tooltip
/select tooltip:Restores .- health - items that restore health (note you can use regexes)

When you select something in the menu, it will edit the macro to look something like:

#showtooltip
/use [nobtn:2] Multiphase Spectrographic Goggles
/stopmacro [nobtn:2]
/select tooltip:Quest Item

Notes:

To use the selected item, left click or use a key binding for that macro.
To change to a different item, right click to select something else.
You can use the item in combat, but you can only change items out of combat.
In theory it should work with all action bar mods (including default).
You can change the macro template in the Select.lua file.
If you want the macro to /select something else, manually edit the /select line of the macro.
There are no options, sorry. (The code is only ~300 lines if you want to poke at the lua)

This is mostly a proof of concept so it will get minimal support. If anyone wants to take the idea/code and run with it you're more than welcome. Some ideas include /select only as a seed and full UI support from then on (GUI to define criterea and templates, etc), remembering what's being replaced for complex macros, slot:0-19 for slot swapping, etc.

I may even try and see if it would be usable to open containers from the action bar. That would be handy. btw, whatever happened to Autorack?

Between addons like this and Tekkub's Buffet, my UI is getting more light weight everyday. I haven't played with this in yet, but I am looking forward to it. Thanks, Rocnroll

Yeah don't worry about it. Lots of people will expect it to be something other than it's not. I don't know how to say it's not a pop-out action bar. Even Alestane and Cogwheel on the forums couldn't understand that wasn't the intent I was after.

Nice addon, though I would like it if it actually used the spell/item/whatever when clicking on it in the menu, instead of 'queueing' it.

Hmm do all trap spells have "Trap" in the name?

Try "/select spell:Trap" and see. I have to run but I'll check it out on my hunter tonight.

You can do "/select spell:Aspect" also if all aspects have the word in their name. You can do a regex also, but now that I think of it, something like:

/select list:Aspect of the Monkey, Aspect of Something Else, Etc

would be useful.
