Remember Your Bindings

This is not an addon to place into your World of Warcraft folder... You will need Adobe Reader for these files--they are all in .pdf format.

It is a set of templates to print for those of us who need a little help in remembering which keys and mouse bindings belong to which actions, spells, etc... It's relevant to all versions of WoW (if you'd like a little reminder of your key & mouse bindings)...

Originally intended for users of click-to-cast addons, such as HealBot, Clique and VuhDo, this download has been expanded to include several iterations of a keyboard map as well, so it's not limited to click-casters anymore. The files are saved separately, so you can print the map that best suits your needs...

As a HealBot lover who often tinkers with bindings, sometimes I forget what my latest modification is--not good when trying to use a specific spell in a tense situation! (Sure, I could use HB's built-in tool-tip function, but I prefer to keep those turned off...) After losing my scraps of paper with my latest bindings, I decided to create templates that I could simply re-print when necessary.

-----------------------------------

Current version includes:

--two mouse binding maps to print and fill in--useful for Healbot, Clique, VuhDo, etc... Not fancy, just functional...

• mouse_basic.pdf is a basic 5 button mouse reference chart.
• mouse_expanded.pdf is a mouse reference chart expanded to include up to 9 mouse buttons.

--several iterations of the same keyboard binding map to print and fill in. The keys are color coded so you can jot down what keys you've bound to the alt, ctrl & shift modifiers... Not a ton of space--you'll have to develop your own shorthand for your bindings if you're a frequent modifier user, but sometimes a little memory jog is all that's required...

• keyboard_base.pdf: keyboard block only
• keyboard_direction.pdf: keyboard block, direction key block & Insert/Home/Page Up block.
• num_pad.pdf: number pad block only
• direction_num_pad.pdf: number pad block, direction key block & Insert/Home/Page Up block.
• keyboard_all.pdf: the whole kit-n-caboodle, like the screenshot... If printed to fit on standard letter sized paper, this file will be way too small to fill in comfortably, but I included it for those lucky few who can print longer widths and want the image intact.

--My original plan for updating the keyboard chart was to lighten the text, lose the color rings and make the entire image have a grid-like format, so that there would be more space to write... but SHKM linked a .pdf version in my comments section... Rather than reinventing the wheel, I figured that I'd refine my rings & text and post a link to SHKM's creation here... (Thank you, SHKM, for sharing!)

Printing Notes

If you print the mouse file in standard letter size and fold it in half, you will have two templates, (useful if you're dual spec'd and have different spells bound or if you want to remember a previous combination). Or, you can just cut it in half... I hate wasting paper and felt that it was better to fill the paper!

You should set the keyboard files to landscape mode for best printing. Tinker with your page scaling & use the Print Preview before hitting that PRINT button, so it comes out all nice...

Hope others find it as useful as I do!
If you have suggestions that would make this more useful, let me know & I'll see what I can do. (Alternatively, if there is a previous version that you prefer & want to re-download, you can always go back into the Archived Files Tab. I have noted all of my changes in the Change Log so it should be easy to locate your preferred version.)

Hey! Look what I just found... BindingsReminder... This is an in game AddOn to help remind you of your bindings! Haven't tried it yet, and am not quite willing to give up my paper notes, but it looks terrific!
