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
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1. SLOTS TABS
There are four tabs called Slots Tab on the top of BindPad frame
(like Blizzard's Macro frame).
[General Slots] is for common icons used for every characters and every specs.
[<Character> Specific Slots] is for icons specific to current character
and current spec.
[2] and [3] (aka. 2nd and 3rd <Character> specific slots) will act
in the same way as [<Character> Specific Slots].
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.)
3.2. PROFILE TABS
There are another three tabs called Profile Tab on the side of BindPad frame.
(like Blizzard's Talent frame)
Different Profile can hold different contents in [<Character> Specific Slots].
You can click a Profile tab to switch current Profile, and your choice of
Profile is saved for each Talent specs and automatically reverted to former
profile when you change talent spec. If you choose same Profile for both
talent specs this automatic change will not happen.
Note that [General Slots] tab is not effected by Profile change, as all
contents of [General Slots] tab is common for all characters AND all specs.
If you change Profile while [General Slots] tab is shown,
BindPad will automatically shows [<Character> Specific Slots] tab of
specified Profile.
3.3. CAN I SWITCH PROFILE IN COMBAT? ON STANCE CHANGE?
No, you cannot.
If you need different skills binded 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. "You want to convert this icon into a BINDPAD MACRO?"... What?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"BindPad Macro" is a new feature from BindPad 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.

Profiles
Hi there... tnx a lot for this great addon.. itīs really usefull when I want to play with one of the chars of a friend of mine..
I would like to make you a request.. the posibility to use profiles.. I play a warlock, druid and priest and use a lot of macros... I usually respec a lot so itīs a pain in the ass when i respec and have to change all the binds and macros... It would be insanely good if you arrange a "profile" option in the addon.. tnx in advice! Pd: meanwhile.. would you tell me where does the addon saves the information of each character so I can make copies of the addon each one with each spec of my chars?.. so I can later overwrite when respec... tnx in advice and keep the good work!! |

Re: Profiles
WTF/Account/<youraccountname>/SavedVariables/BindPad.lua All character's data are stored in this single file. BUT your keybindings are stored in WTF/Account/<youraccountname>/bindings-cache.wtf And so, it's difficult to make a Profile for both BindPad icons and Keybindings. You definately want icons and keybindings be profiled, yes? |

Re: Re: Profiles
I will use bindpad couse I donīt clik in action bars and I donīt show any action bar in my UI. I bind all the spells with bind pad for a spec (affliction lock for example) and when I want a respec I copy the bindpad options in my hd from the .lua and reconfigure another spec (destruction one); the next time I go affliction again I only have to overwrite my last bindpad .lua and thatīs all.. made in 2 secs all the binds of my new spec . It would be awesome if you can select a spec for each character, if you add an option like item rack to your addon.. oh man.. that would be fantastic keep the man goin!

Re: Re: Re: Profiles
Please carefully read my previous post and understand why you cannot restore your affliction spec bindings by overwriting BindPad.lua; that will be starting point of a discussion. |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Profiles
I will make the backups copyin BOTH .lua of bindpad and the bindings-cache.wtf of each char that is in the folder of each char (\WTF\Account\accountname\server\char_name ). In fact I copy A PORTION of the .lua of the bindpad file in the savedvariables and the specific binds of each char... Hope this time I managed to explain well. |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Profiles
It's more difficult than the first look. There are many other AddOns with profile (Ace addons and some others), but we cannot just implement such profile functions into BindPad. We want a unified "Profile" for both BindPad icons and KEYBINDINGS stored outside of .lua files. There is one easier option if we want to profile keybindings only. Please try this addon. http://www.wowace.com/wiki/KeyProfiler KeyProfiler will allow you to save and restore all keybindings. And about BindPad icons, we have 3 tabs for each characters. Isn't it enough space for your 3 talent specs? I'm still considering a unified "Profile" too (this is the hardest option). Or maybe add a checkbox in each tab to disable all keybindings of that tab? (this is the middle in difficulty) How do you feel for these possibilities? |

Override bindings
I saw a rumor that saids keybindings will be saved serverside on the next expansion WotLK. That means we can no longer use diffeernt keybindings while using your friend's account after WotLK released.
To handle this problem, I'm considering possibility to change BindPad so that it make use of OverrideBindings API functions to make temporaly keybindings which will not be saved at all (without AddOn's control). With this change, BindPad will be able to have complete control of saving and restoring keybindings depending on characters and/or profiles.

Ok found out the problem.
On my paladin I have shift-space binded to a macro thats seen by all characters. On my warrior I have shift-space binded to a warrior only seen macro. What happens is shift-space works fine on my warrior. Log on my paladin which changes shift-space to mount special macro. Log back on my warrior and shift-space doesn't get rebinded to my warrior only macro. Dont think it has to do anything with the patch though.

I was sure Iposted this before... seems lke I was wrong :P
First off, let me announce that I LOVE BindPad!
It's wonderfull. And with this Macro option it's now even more usefull than ever. I used to use this addon simply to bind a second keybind to whatever I want. But now it's much more than that. Now my macros have become my friends I would love to be able to pull the macros from BindPad onto the actionbar. Old addons that allow the addition of more macros (that can be used on the actionbars) are no longer updated and don't work with the current version of WoW. Can I please get an explanation as to why it can't be possible to make these macros draggable onto the actionbars? Or an explanation on how would it be possible? I mean, the amount of macros supplied by Blizzard ain't nearly enough for one who knows what macros are capable of. Thanks P.S. I have a small understanding of LUA.. not much, but enough for you to try and explain it in your own way. So please give as detailed an explanation as you can If I don't understand something, I'll either search WoWWiki, or simply ask you guys |

Re: I was sure Iposted this before... seems lke I was wrong :P
That means you cannot use any actionbar addons nor blizzard's standard actionbars since they are using same actionbar APIs presented by Blizard. BindPad macro is not using the actionbar APIs, that's why BindPad macro cannot be used with other actionbars. |

Being the hardcore lover of key bindings & more importantly direct binds as I am..I adore this addon..I had used Nymbia's Spellbinder http://www.wowinterface.com/download...ellBinder.html for a long..long time..but now I've moved to yours & am just as pleased.
I'd like to inquire about the likelyhood of a feature..is it possible to let players specify actions based on stealth? like say..I have Shift + D set to distract..would it be possible in an update to let me use that same bind..for another action when unstealthed? Great work /salute |
