BindPad -- Created by Tageshi

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. WHAT IS "BindPad"?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

BindPad is an addon to make KeyBindings for spells, items, and macros.
You no longer need actionbar slots just to make Key bindings for your macores etc.

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 KeyBindings.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. HOW TO USE "BindPad"?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Type /bindpad or /bp to display BindPad frame.
(Also you can find "Toggle BindPad" Keybinding command in standard
KeyBindings frame of Blizzard-UI.)

(2) Open spellbook frame (p), you bag (b), or Macro Panel (/macro).
(Also you can use three mini-icons on BindPad frame to open these windows.)

(3) Drag an spell icon, item icon, or macro icon using left button drag and
drop it onto the BindPad window.
(Maybe you need shift key + left button drag if action bars are locked.)

(4) Now you see the icon placed on BindPad frame. Click it,
and a dialog window "Press a key to bind" will appear.

(5) Type a key to bind. And click 'Close' button.

(6) When you want to remove icons from BindPad frame, simply drag away the icon
and press right click to delete it.

Note that KeyBinding itself will not be unbinded when you delete the icon.
To unbind it, click the icon and click Unbind button on the dialog window.
Also you can simply override Keybindings.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. HOW TO USE TABS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are four tabs on BindPad frame; 'General Slots', '<Character> Specific Slots',
'2' and '3'. (aka. 2nd and 3rd <Character> specific slots)
Any icons placed on 'General Slots' are for all characters of your account.
Those on '<Character> Specific Slots' are for that specific character only.

Note that you can use '<Character> Specific Slots' tab only after you click
'Character Specific Key Bindings' check box at standard KeyBindings frame of Blizzard-UI.

From BindPad version 1.5, you can see this checkbox on BindPad window itself too.
(Also BindPad will inform you about 'Character Specific Key Bindings' and automatically
activate it for you when you click '<Character> Specific Slots' tab.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. "You want to convert this icon into a BINDPAD MACRO?"... What?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"BindPad Macro" is a new feature from BidPad version 1.8.0 ;
which allow 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:
- Click the small red "+" icon to create an empty BindPad Macro.
- Right-click an existing spell/item/macro icon on BindPad to convert it into a BindPad Macro.
- Right-click the "BindPad Macro" to edit macro-text.
- ...and you can use left-click to set keybindings as usual.

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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. DETAILS AND MORE INFORMATIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

BindPad addon utilizes new functions added from WoW API 2.0 .

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
SaveBindings(GetCurrentBindingSet());

There are some other similar addons by other authors.
Try them and choose what you like.

I'm making the switch from macaroon to BP and it helps me keep everything sorted in my head if I can see the icons in the addon interface.

There is no simple way to distinguish keybindings with or without a skill currently usable.

On vehicle binds, use something like this:

Code:

Where your regular spell is Hand of Reckoning and you want to press button 3 on the action bar if you're in a vehicle.

Well thanks for the answer; would something like

Code:

#showtooltip
/click [bonusbar:5] BonusActionButton3
/stopmacro [bonusbar:5]
/cast [stealth] Garrote ; Rupture

work?

Theoretically this should show the correct icon + tooltip, cast button 3 when possesing a vehicle else cast Garrote while stealthed or rupture while not.

[bonusbar:X] X is the number of the bar, if so why is this used are there more than one possess bar?

Also there's a new carbonite Version out including the fix mentioned below and also "Reduced general garbage accumulation by 90%." based on that statement alone it should run more smoothly.

Edit: The flicker bug still seems to appear with the new carbonite build, altough not as fast flickering if I'm not mistaken; could someone try to reproduce this so I know it's not something on my end.

Back on topic;
I've pretty much bound all my abilities to keybinds using bindpad but when I enter a vehicle, the vehicle abillities have no binds because the bindings are directly used on the abilities instead of bar buttons.
Is there a way to switch to other bindings when entering a vehicle or anothe solution to this? Having no hotkeys for vehicle abilities is pretty annoying in movement intensive situations.

It's driving me insane.

For the record, I've checked CPU time and found nothing abnormal.

Created a new char, only enabled this two addons made some bindings and the problem did not occur.

However when doing thhe same on a toon wich I'm currently leveling, he has 12 Quests in his log, opening the quest watch list will produce this flickering.
When removing all quests from the watchlist or closing the quest watch list, the flickering stops.

So when you try to reproduce this results try a char with many quests in his log and make sure his quest watchlist is open (click on the "-" on the small semi visible carbonite bar)

Very good report.
Now I can reproduce the problem, and then found out the cause.
This is Carbonite's bug; which is calling SetBindingClick() API very frequently for
Carbonite's "Use Top Quest Watch Item" keybinding.

We can temporary fix this problem by this slash command.

Code:

/run Nx:GGO()["QWKeyUseItem"]=nil

mrklotz , please tell this to the author of Carbonite.

Does that happen for you with only two addons BindPad and Carbonite?
Does that happen with default setting of Carbonite? or you need some sort of customize?

This would open up more keybinds and your thumb on the mouse hand shouldn't have to do anything anyways.

You cannot use mousebutton 5 etc. as modifier keys within any means of lua or keybindings of WoW.
But many customization tool for mouse outside of WoW client allows you to replace your mouse button 5~ to shift key or some other modifier key. I suggest to use those tools.

Ok, I understand. I will change that for next version.

The questwatchlist of the addon "Carbonite"; if you minimize it the flickering stops, if you open it again flickering sets in.
Also if you disable carbonite all together the problem doesn't appear, so it really should be an issue with this two addons please have a talk with the authors of carbonite and sort it out, because both your and their addon are great
