Save default keybinding in Keybinding UI

Hi all

I have set up a number of keybinds in the Binding UI; 4 of these bindings have default bindings.
Whene I first login they work without an issue; however if I /reload the default bindings disappear.
If I /logout and then log back in the defaults are once again working.

The none default bindings can be set and they will always be available; they are written to the bindings-cache.wtf file.

Here is my xml.

Lua Code:

<Bindings>
    <Binding name="AVKRUNSHOWAARDVARKUIFUNCTION" category="Aardvark">
    print("Keybinding destroy function")
        AVKRUNSHOWAARDVARKUIFUNCTION()
    </Binding>
    <Binding name="AVKRUNRESETAARDVARKUIFUNCTION" category="Aardvark">
        print("Keybinding reset aardvark UI")
    </Binding>
    <Binding name="AVKRUNCLEARALLLISTSFUNCTION" category="Aardvark">
        print("Keybinding clear all lists")
    </Binding>
    <Binding name="AVKRUNDESTROYFUNCTION" category="Aardvark">
        print("Keybinding destroy function")
    </Binding>
    <Binding name="AVKRUNADDITEMTOGLOBALLISTFUNCTION" default="ALT-F9" category="Aardvark">
        print("Keybinding add to global list")
        AVKRUNADDITEMTOGLOBALLISTFUNCTION()
    </Binding>
    <Binding name="AVKRUNADDITEMTOCHARACTERLISTFUNCTION" default="ALT-F10" category="Aardvark">
        print("Keybinding add to character list")
        AVKRUNADDITEMTOCHARACTERLISTFUNCTION()
    </Binding>
    <Binding name="AVKRUNADDITEMTOGLOBALPROTECTLISTFUNCTION" default="ALT-F11" category="Aardvark">
        print("Keybinding add to global protect list")
        AVKRUNADDITEMTOGLOBALPROTECTLISTFUNCTION()
    </Binding>
    <Binding name="AVKRUNADDITEMTOCHARACTERPROTECTLISTFUNCTION" default="ALT-F12" category="Aardvark">
        print("Keybinding add to character protect list")
        AVKRUNADDITEMTOCHARACTERPROTECTLISTFUNCTION()
    </Binding>
</Bindings>

Is there a way to have the defaults saved to the bindings-cache.wtf file as well to ensure they are not wiped on /reload?

Hi all

After playing around for a while I decided to approach this problem in a different way.

I now check to see if the keybinding is set, if not I add it.

It does not write it to the bindings-cache.wtf file; instead it sets it upon login and /reload.

Here is my function;

Lua Code:

local function ensureDefaultKeybinds()
    local key1, key2
    key1,key2 = GetBindingKey("AVKRUNADDITEMTOGLOBALLISTFUNCTION")
    if not key1 and not key2 then
        SetBinding("ALT-F9","AVKRUNADDITEMTOGLOBALLISTFUNCTION")
    end
    key1,key2 = GetBindingKey("AVKRUNADDITEMTOCHARACTERLISTFUNCTION")
    if not key1 and not key2 then
        SetBinding("ALT-F10","AVKRUNADDITEMTOCHARACTERLISTFUNCTION")
    end
    key1,key2 = GetBindingKey("AVKRUNADDITEMTOGLOBALPROTECTLISTFUNCTION")
    if not key1 and not key2 then
        SetBinding("ALT-F11","AVKRUNADDITEMTOGLOBALPROTECTLISTFUNCTION")
    end
    key1,key2 = GetBindingKey("AVKRUNADDITEMTOCHARACTERPROTECTLISTFUNCTION")
    if not key1 and not key2 then
        SetBinding("ALT-F12","AVKRUNADDITEMTOCHARACTERPROTECTLISTFUNCTION")
    end
end

This is most likely the nasty/inefficient solution but it gets me to where I need to be.

Any advice or better solutions would be great, but if not I will just keep playing with this and report back when/if I find a better solution.

Cheers
