BindPad - GUI to set keybindings for spell/item/macro
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.
And at least one more good addon that I have forgot its name...

Ok, I might be dense but how do I assign keybindings to my rogue for Stealth? For example, in stealth the key "2" is garrote while not stealthed is Mutilate. Used this addon for the rest of my characters and it's one of the best .
Thanks for the help
I'm planning to add that option, but it takes long time and I don't have enough time currently.
For the time being, you can just turn off server side keybinding synchronization of WoW client.
Please refer Slouken's post below
Quote:
Right now if you want to disable the setting synchronization, you can do this on each computer where you want only local settings:
/console synchronizeSettings 0
In 3.0.3 you will be able to manage macros vs key bindings separately:
/console synchronizeConfig 0
-- turns off synchronization of UI settings
/console synchronizeBindings 0
-- turns off synchronization of key bindings
/console synchronizeMacros 0
-- turns off synchronization of macros
Whenever settings are downloaded from the server, the old settings are saved in <file>.old, so you can quickly log out, move them back into place and they'll be uploaded to the server (unless synchronizeSettings is 0).
Is there an option to make it save keybindings ONLY on local computer and not server so that I can play my friends rogue and not mess up his server bindings?
Originally posted by Seiken Is there any chance of allowing us to bind the icons dragged from the pet tab? I looked over the last few pages but didn't see this mentioned. I like a minimal UI and having all my mounts on screen but nothing else is a little odd.
We need to wait for Blizard to fix GetCursorInfo() API function for Companions and Mounts icons. I have asked for this at Blizard's forum monthes ago. http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...32767&sid=1#88
Until API fix, I recommend to use BindPad macro like below.
Code:
/cast Violet Netherwing Drake

Also I cannot seem to bind a modifier + mousewheel, for example SHIFT+Mousewheelup. I can do this in the standard keybindings and used to have spells bound to these via another addon I had. Is there any reason this can no longer be supported?
Thanks for your time and keep up the good work.
Actually you can do make bind. Just don't forget to hover over the Keybinding window with your mouse pointer before you try to push modifier + mousewheel .

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
Right click your spell on BindPad slot to make BindPad macro.
Edit the macro text like below.
/cast [stealth] spell name 1; spell name 2
And set keybinding for this BindPad macro. Done.

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
Thank you for using BindPad.

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?
It's impossible unless we make whole new system of Actionbars with full huge set of addons.
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.
Originally posted by galvin 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.
Well. Do you still have same problem now?
I never have been able to reproduce this problem.

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
.
