i have a dream mod - "keyboard keybind"
Consider the game Maple Story, i know its a really lame game, i dont play it as well, but, please read on.
I noticed their game interface, they have a distinct unique way for the key settings. unlike WoW, they have the ACTUAL KEYBOARD in the interface, as seen in the screenshot below. So, therefore, i came up with the similar idea, how about we apply this thing into WoW? Im sure it is going to be so useful, and will maximize the true gaming experience. (I apologize for such bad photoshopping.) ~ ~ ~ ~ I've been playing wow for a couple years, loved it so much, i met a lot friends and i enjoyed my life there. But, unfortunately, my work is being a ***** to me. i really need the money, so i have to give up a list of things one by one, and quitting wow is getting closer to the top of the list... I have absolutely nothing about coding on WoW mods, to all wow modders, please consider my idea, im sure it will work out really well... Truly yours. Thanks in advance. |

Thanks Cairenn, but...
it doesnt let me bind skills...:( |
If you just want your action bars laid out like your keyboard, you can use any of the action bar addons to change your bar layout and set it up yourself.
But it's not quite clear what your actual intention is for the mod your are requesting. Keybindings interface? Action bar?, etc. |
Sounds to me that (s)he is asking for a key binding addon that will show a keyboard for the configuration and allow you to drag and drop your spells to the keyboard keys to assign the keybindings directly to that spellbook item/macro or bag item. Basically something like a combo of the addon(s) that allow you to assign bindings directly in the spellbook and the keyboard addon in this thread.

I too, think this is a fantastic idea. Definitely better for more visually oriented people. |

Any suggestions...? What do u think...? Is this possible to become reality? |
I remember hearing Blizzard wanting to have this sort of layout from way back in Vanilla, but it never took off. I second the notion that it would give us a better idea of what is happening where!

The only real difference is the additional F keys and the swapping of Alt/Option and Windows/Apple. |
Keybind for mac keyboards
Quote:
Not true! I use this keyboard on my iMac: (dont mention the "fn" button. Its just a modifier for the missing numpad options) I used about 4 binding addons now (bindpad, keybind, bt4 etc..) and so far i wasnt able to bind CAPS, ALT, SHIFT, CTRL or CMD. I know it worked on windows cause i used them as regular buttons in my tanking routine on windows about 5 months ago. So there must be some differences (at least) inside of wow to address this buttons cause wow itself can bind them as modifiers i think.. but no addon i tested so far. I have no idea about coding/modding but maybe someone on a mac could find out how to get a hold of these buttons and build a mac-ready version of this addon :-)???? |
you can't bind to shift/alt/ctrl/apple anyway, so does it matter where they are?
just list them in a modifier stack or something. since they're toggles and not actually bindable, i think it's reasonable to remove them from the virtual keyboard layout. something very important with all of this is handling the ability to drag the normal keybindings to these keys. you can't just do skills and spells and items. you need to have access to the default keybinds plus whatever additional keybinds other mods might add. they should be grouped up appropriately and draggable. |
Keep in mind that in EU alone there are at least a dozen different keyboard layouts depending on where you live. Myself, I use a Belgian keyboard that is different from a French keyboard, a Swedish keyboard, a German keyboard, etc.
I agree that such an addon would be great but if it doesn't have the exact layout of the keyboard you're using it will just confuse you even more. |
Le nécro royale, n'est-ce pas?

Check out my addon "keybind" - it seems to do just what you want. Ill be adding different keyboard layouts in soon too. (can't link it cos I'm on my phone)

Bring it back then!

But like 4 patches ago it worked. I actually bound: CAPS=macro (target switching) and SHIFT=Taunt via BindPad (The caps and shift functionality remained the same) That leads me to a question!: Why isnt it possible anymore? I mean.. in combat there are 3-4 big unused buttons at the left of my hand! Id donate money to the guy who creates an addon to bind them (and includes a function to enable them infight or with harm-target) <3 |
