Navigating to a keybinding category

Hi all

After the changes brought about by 10 the keybindings menu is now available in the game options.
I had a button that opened my keybinding list.
Previously I used;

Lua Code:

SwarmKeybindingButton:SetScript(
    "OnClick",
    function()
        GameMenuButtonKeybindings:Click("RightButton")
        InterfaceOptionsFrame:Hide()
        KeyBindingFrame:Show()
        for _, v in pairs(KeyBindingFrame.categoryList.buttons) do
            if v:GetText() == "Walkerbo's Addons" or v:GetText() == "WALKERBO'S ADDONS" then
                v:Click()
            end
        end
    end
)

I know that the keybindings header tags are not working yet, so I won't be able to jump directly to an individual keybindings header; but how do I now open directly to my category of keybinds?

Okay after a bit more investigating I have this:

Lua Code:

GameMenuButtonSettings;Click("RightButton")  -- open game menu
SettingsPanel.GameTab:Click("RightButton") -- click the game tab

Then from there, I have to loop through the category list:

Lua Code:

for k, v in pairs(SettingsPanel.CategoryList) do  
   print(k, v)   
end

The keybindings button is the 7th element;

Lua Code:

for k, v in pairs(SettingsPanel.CategoryList.elementList) do
   for a, b in pairs(v) do
      if k == 7 then        
         print(k, a, b)     
         if a == "data" then
            print("FOUND", k, a, b)            
         end
      end
   end
end

The problem is that getting to the 7th element is wrong as I have to manually count the elements rather than reading each element.
Then from there, I need to identify the current element as a button then read that button text and from there I need to click the keybinding button.

Now that I am a bit closer to my goal I have hit a wall and am floundering once again.

A little bit more progress.
I can now identify button elements;

Lua Code:

for k, v in pairs(SettingsPanel.CategoryList.elementList) do
    for a, b in pairs(v) do
        if b == "SettingsCategoryListButtonTemplate" then
            print(k, a, "This is a button")
        end
    end
end

Still working on determining which button is the keybindings button.

A little closer to an answer;

Lua Code:

for k, v in pairs(SettingsPanel.CategoryList.elementList) do
   for a, b in pairs(v) do      
      if k == 7 then            
         if a == "data" then           
            for q, w in pairs(b) do
               if q == "category" then
                  if w:GetName() == "Keybindings" then
                     print("keybindins button found")   
                  end
               end
            end         
         end
      end
   end
end

I would believe that

Lua Code:

w:Click("RightButton")

would work but it no longer does as w is a table.
