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.

Until Blizz gets this fixed, you can simply use the CallCompanion() API, example:
Code:
/run CallCompanion("MOUNT", 1) That should cover it. Btw: I wuv BindPad. Just stating the facts. :>

Hello!
May have commented on BindPad before, but just want to mention that it's the one addon I could absolutely not do without, so thanks for making it available. Now, I'm curious as to what you'll be doing with BindPad to make it work with offspecs in an upcoming patch. Will it be a profiling thing or automatic? Or perhaps impossible to say until then? Thanks! |

was wondering, is it possible to turn off the hotkey indicator. for instance, i have penance bound in bindpad, and when I put penance in my action bar for cooldown tracking, I see it's bind. Can this be turned off? nvm im dumb. AWESOME ADDON.

All keybindings will be swapped as you switch spec; which include keybindings made by BindPad. Don't forget that BindPad is just a GUI for Blizzard's API SetBinding functions. And I assume that you have enough slot spaces for both specs. If not, I can increase number of pages of BindPad. ----EDIT---- Yes, I was wrong. Dual spec won't swap keybindings at all. I need to do something to solve this problem.

BindPad 2.0.0
Version 2.0.0
- Updated for WotLK 3.1.0 - You can drag&drop companion icons and use it as a BindPadMacro. (WotLK 3.1.0 only) - You can drag&drop new equipmentset icons from Equiment Manager too. (WotLK 3.1.0 only) - Changed keybinding name of BindPadMacro; now it sees like "BindPadMacro:<name>" instead of "BindPadMacro101:" etc. - Now you can use "/click BindPadMacro <name>" slash command to run the BindPadMacro from within a macro. - Added various error checks to avoid calling protected functions in combat. - Fixed: BindPadMacro text was sometimes overwritten by different icon's macro text. ----Edit----- P.S. All existing BindPadMacro keybindings will be automatically converted to new names.

Then yes, I noticed that a while ago. Before BindPad 1.9.x. I think it is nature of SetBindingMacro() API function. You can just bind one macro to X key, and another macro to ctrl-X key, for example. |

dual spec
Now correct me if this has changed since a couple weeks ago...
I was playing with BindPad on the PTR and messing with my mage's dual spec. Yes, the hotkeys swap over, so what i had bound to X in fire, no longer works for Arcane. However, Bindpad still had the icon and the X bound to that spell. And rebinding it for Arcane spec would overwrite what BindPad had saved for my Fire spec. So yes, BlastWave no longer works in Arcane, but BindPad won't automatically swap between BlastWave and ArcMissiles (for example) as I swap back and forth. Obviously my action bars and spellbook swap just fine, and the BindPad keybinding text follows the spells I have set in those action bars. Thoughts on this? Maybe I'm wrong and I missed something? |

Re: dual spec
I believed that it will. But that was misunderstanding. I will add something to solve this problem before 3.1.0 go live. |

I'm also having a problem with my modifiers.
I updated today and noticed my bindpad macros with modifiers were no longer working. I have two, one for frostfire bolt and one for scorch, each macro set to cast pyroblast while holding shift. I thought about it and pulled out pyroblast as a different spell. That worked, however, I need two different keybindings for pyroblast, and bindpad will copy the keybinding over to every copy of that spell. I thought maybe I could convert one of the two pyroblasts to a macro and fix it that way. However, the one that is now a bindpad macro set to shift-e does not work. The one that is a spell still does. I'm just curious as to whether this is something that's changed within the game, or will this be something you can find a fix for? edit: Just wanted to add that I update my add-ons frequently, the last time being only a few days ago, and everythings been working fine until I updated this morning. Another odd thing. I have a similar setup for my DK with death coil. I set up a spell version and a macro version in bp for two keybindings and they both work.
