could you modify the '/' command to be qt toggle, so that it can be put into a macro for open and close with one button click

My Minicity, click it!

I was pondering the slow down required to open the addon. A problem that's mentioned in the description. I was wondering, is there a way you can key bind by tradeskill so instead of hitting T to bring up quick trade to search all recipes, you could do <shift> C to access cooking so it only goes through those spells.

I use this mod for when I do my daily cooking quests or enchanting for other people because it really is quicker then Bringing up my tradeskill ui and finding the recipe and then selecting how many I want to make and then making it go. Much more efficient this way despite the lag. I just mentioned the other option as a way to reduce the lag time.

In response, to the other poster requesting tabs, this might also be an alternative. I'm thinking you would need a Gui that - instead of the + option to click known vs unlearned. And then a option where you could select what skills it searches like Blacksmith vs JC because I have bs but not jc. That might also cut down on the lag time.

Thanks for the tip about the "Esc" with the text box. That solves alot of hair pulling.

I like your addon,

However, there is something that i thought it was, which it wasn't.

I will stop being vague and go into the details. For example, I have 2 professions, Enchanting and JC. When i press my Keybind (f12) It shows me the edit box, which is all good. However, when i type Agility, it shows me Alchemy receipe, that i do not have.

Maybe, the purpose of this addon to know every skill that the game professions have. However, adding an option, that could make it work only with the local professions with the receipie i Know, will make this excellent.
Perhaps, adding small optional feature through Interface > Addons tabs.

Just throwing in my idea. I do like this addon alot though, so thanks!

Edit: I forgot to ask, Is there a way for a mouse wheel to work with the result list?

After a quick review of this AddOn in game, I see one thing that is "inconvenient". If I want to paste a recipe into the chat edit field after I have QTS displayed, as far as I can see I can't open chat with the normal slash-s, slash-p, slash-2, or whatever.
I thought maybe I could open the chat field first, then open QTS, but that doesn't work, either, as far as I can see.
There are other ways to open a chat edit field; as I said this is merely an inconvenience, but one which would be nice to remedy.

Would it be possible to somehow allow searching for 'just' Minor or major glyphs and things of that nature? Sometimes you just want to know the Minors you've learned or which is which when looking though the glyphs.

I know that's kinda one profession sided, but it would be interesting to see happen.

Sorry to hear you aren't thinking about implementing search-by-mat-name. Anything we can do to convince you otherwise? Warm cookies? No other mod currently does this since TradeskillInfo died; its a big hole needing to be filled.

Has the API changed? Back in 2.4.3 & prior, TradeskillInfo, ProfessionLinks (also dead) & other such database mods allowed you to link yellow recipe links, even if a character didn't know the recipe. But I see your point; those light blue links currently provide all material info for the recipe. They didn't used to .

As to the library pointers, I see now you have included them in QuickTradeskill.xml. No problem, but that's non-standard.

Don't need this in QuickTradeskilll; there are already two other updated mods out there that provide this exact functionality: Recipe Book & ProfessionsBook.

Neither of those provide features for searching tradeskill recipes other than your own, though. Which is why I prompted about adding such a feature to this mod. And very glad you have started on it. Still offering up warm cookies for the ability to search for recipes via material .

I had some thoughts on making QTS slightly more convenient, though I don't know how difficulty they would be to implement, nor how much work you are willing to put into this app. I think these can mostly just be checkboxes or buttons at the top to modify how the search is performed.

1) Searching by reagents as well as final products is a big one. I skimmed over previous comments and I believe a few others have mentioned it already.

2) The option to 'create all' of that recipe rather than having to click again and again depending on the amount of items you are making. Perhaps this can be a button on the righthand side of the results; clicking the recipe bar itself can still create one. This is another 'big one' in my book, in terms of how much convenience it adds.

3) The option to have the results 'grow up' rather than down.

4) A scrollable results frame, showing maybe four to five recipes to begin with. If possible this should also capture the mousewheel, so that you can just move your mouse into the window and scroll up and down (like how the chat window works natively). If this is more work than it sounds, perhaps just cut out some of the padding and border, as well as the item's icon, to shorten the results a little.

5) A database of recipes known across your characters, so that you do not have to switch between characters to check whether they have recipe. This is pretty minor; TradeskillInfo will serve this purpose once it is fixed.

Most of these are just for convenience sake. Some of them are also native to TradeskillInfo, but I think QST has the potential to be more useful than TradeskillInfo. The big annoyance I had with TSI was that you could not create recipes from its interface; it was just a database. QST is on the other extreme, where you are easily able to create recipes, but lacks the comprehensive database (of known recipes across characters) and convenience of searching by reagents. I hope you'll consider adding some of the better features of TSI into your mod to help limit the need to run both.

Nice start on the search!

A few things about Quick Tradeskill v2.1 as it is now.

--The results list needs to be compacted. Either put all the results as clickable links in one window or make the result frames a lot smaller. As it is, if you enter a common name like "Adamanantite", it can fill up your UI and you can't see the things at the end of the list (especially if you run at low resolutions).

--Doesn't seem to be any way to link actual recipes in chat (yellow links). Only completed items (light blue links). Yellow recipe links should be able to be chat-linked to make the search useful.

--For searching, would be nice to be able to find recipes by searching for material names in addition to recipe names (its something Tradeskill Info mod allowed). Should be able to do this with the LibPeriodicTable-3.1-TradeskillResultMats.lua file (which v2.1 doesn't currently use).

--The v 2.1 TOC doesn't contain any pointers to the included libraries. Consequently, if a user is running this mod and doesn't have the libraries loading with some other mod (or standalone), the searching won't work.

How to handle it (put the following in the TOC):

--Any thoughts about using the "TradeskillResultMats..." & "Tradeskill.Mat.ByProfession.Inscription" results contained in the above library files for inscriptions?

--As to auto search on typing, that's unneeded. Here at least . Yes, there will be a performance penalty doing that. And sometimes you may misspell what you are looking for. Sometimes you start the search for a particular item then change your mind about what you are looking for. Which means the results being pulled up automatically are unwanted.

Just having the search done after pressing "ENTER" (or a "Search" button) is more than good enough.

--For recipe search results and alphabetizing it, yes, there will likely be large overhead. Especially once you get search working on materials and not just recipe names (recipe names will have a limited number of results; materials much, much more). Its unneeded.

But some sort order would be good. How Tradeskill Info did it: categorized results by profession and then listed them in order of trade skill needed to make them (lowest skill ones at top of lists). You could do it that way. Or have a column-sortable list or similar.
