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());

You needed to do this additional edit. Because if there are two same PROFILE_SSSSSSSS_NNNNNN in BindPad.lua, only one block will be loaded. 1.5. Search and delete old lines started with

0. /exit from WoW client if not yet. 1. Open file "World of Warcraft/WTF/Account/<YOURACCOUNTNAME>/SavedVariables/BindPad.lua" with any text editor. 2. Search for a line like below
3. Change that server name to your new server name. 4. Save changes. |

Is there anyway on a server transfer you can keep your bindings profile so you aren't forced to redo the binding again?

Clarification Re: some issues
Try to expriment some clicking, and feel it.
-Clicking Profile1 let you choose to use profile 1 for your current spec (whichever you are). And profile 1 is used for the primary talents now (before clicking anything). -Clicking Profile2 let you choose to use profile 2 for your current spec (whichever you are). And profile 2 is used for the secondary talents now (before clicking anything).
You just chose to use Profile 1 for your current spec (the secondary talents). You are now looking all Profile 1 spell icons and macro icons. Which means you are now using these items you see now. And of course, now Profile 1 is used for both the primary talents and the secondary talents. Because you chose to use Profile 1 in both talent specs.
The fact you didn't know is this; Each Profile is initiallized as a copy of existing Profile when you first use one. So your Profile 3 has all the copy of macros from Profile 2 when you first decided to click Profile 3, but you can edit any icons and macros in Profile 3 independent of Profile 2.
I hope you will some day become one of them. |

Re: Re: some issues
label 1 shows the icon of Primary Talents and its Description reads : "Profile 1" " Primary Talents" label 2 shows the icon of Secondary Talents and its Description reads : "Profile 2" " Secondary Talents" so far so good. So, every intelligent beeing would assume by intuition and logic , that -label 1 switches to profile 1 what is linked to the primary talents -label 2 switches to profile 2 what is linked to the secondary talents we agree, that those labels are clickable and that something happens on click, right ? Clicking on those labels actually switch the listed/displayed macros so the assumption seems to be confirmed. So, now lets see what happens with the labels when click on it : When clicking on label 1, the icons change (why ??) and it suddenly shows BOTH talenttree icons (the icon form talent2 is embedded in the talent1 icon) and the labels description now says : "Profile 1 Primary Talents Secondary Talents" Is this intended ? and if, what is its purpose ? (besides confusing users) For me, this behavior just looks like a Bug and doesnt make any sense. When i click on label 2, the talenttree2 icon jumps back to its former place to label 2, description reads as it was before any cklicking "Profile 2 Secondary Talents" When i click on label 3 associated with Profile 3, the Secondary Talent Icon now jumps from Profile 2 Label to the Profile 3 label. Now, what is the intention of this ? Every user would assume, that suddenly Profile 3 is meant to contain the macros that are used when the user switches to Secondary Talents. Though the macros that have been in the Profile 2 tab are still shown in that Tab , just the icon switched. Dont u think that this is confusing and very anti-intuitional and unlogic-looking ? why not fixate the talent spec and therefore its icons to the Profiles ? means hardlink profile 1 with talent spec 1 and its icon hardlink profile 2 with talent spec 2 and its icon so no weird jumping icons and descriptions confusing everyone

Re: Re: Re: some issues
Because "General Slots" tab is common for all characters and all specs. (2) put your Vampiric Embrace icon in "torqamadda Specific Slots" of Profile 1 and bind "7". (3) Put your holy nova icon in "torqamadda Specific Slots" of Profile 2 and bind "7". (4) Leave the "Primary Talents" icon in Profile 1. (5) Change your spec to Secondary Spec, and leave "Secondary Talents" icon in Profile 2. (6) Done. |

Re: Re: some issues
Please tell me:
How can I set up different keybindings for my primary spec and my offspec... The previous poster asked about the main Spec icon and the secondary spec icon appearing in the same tab... I think this is what is confusing me.. . I want my number pad "7" to be Vampiric Embrace when I am shadow (offspec) I want my number pad "7" to be holy nova when I am Disc (primary spec) I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this! |

Re: some issues
The two icons you see are "Primary Talents" icon and "Secondary Talents" icon. These are not profile N icons. You see?
I don't like behavior of movable frame when it's together with standard blizzard frames. So install other addon to move frames if you want to move BindPad and any other blizzard frames. |

some issues
hello,
the icons of the profile buttons change when i klick on one of the profile buttons, eg: - profile 3 '(w/o icon) shows profile 1 icon and its description : "primary talents" when i click the profile 3 to activate it. - profile 1 icon disappears from profile 1 slot and shows on profile 2 slot overlapping with the profile 2 icon when i click on profile 2 icon. then i wish it would be possible to move the bindpad frame around the screen (without need to install stuff like moveanything). peronally i dont like pinned/unmoveable frames. |
