Hi Fizzlemizz

Thanks for your code, it is much more legible and easier to follow than mine.

However, it still has the same issue, I have to /reload after logging in to get the keybinds to work.

After much gnashing of teeth, a few print statements and a hell of a lot of experimentation I ended up solving the problem by creating the button itself in a function and then having another frame to run the new function on the player entering the world.

My full solution;

local myTestingKeybindingItemName, myTestingKeybindingItemLink, myTestingKeybindingItemID
 
local function addItemToTable(itemLink)
    if not myTestingKeybindingTableOfItems then
        myTestingKeybindingTableOfItems = {}
    end
    local found
    for k, v in pairs(myTestingKeybindingTableOfItems) do
        if v == itemLink then
            print("Item all ready listed")
            found = true
            break
        end
    end
    if not found then
        table.insert(myTestingKeybindingTableOfItems, 1, itemLink)
        print("Item added to list",itemLink)
    end
end
 
SLASH_MYTEST1 = "/qwe"
function SlashCmdList.MYTEST(msg, editbox)
    if #myTestingKeybindingTableOfItems == 0 then
        print("empty table")
    else
        for k, v in pairs(myTestingKeybindingTableOfItems) do
            print("item", k, v)
        end
    end
end
 
local function keybindingButtonSetUp()
    print("*** keybinding setup function fired ***")
    local myTestingKeybindingButton = CreateFrame("BUTTON", "WalkerbomyTest")
    SetBindingClick("F5", "WalkerbomyTest", "b1")
    SetBindingClick("G", "WalkerbomyTest", "b3")
    myTestingKeybindingButton:SetScript("OnClick", function(self, button)
        if button == "b1" then
            addItemToTable(myTestingKeybindingItemLink)
            print("F5 button clicked", myTestingKeybindingItemLink, myTestingKeybindingItemID)
        elseif button == "b3" then
            print("G button clicked")
        end
    end)
end
 
GameTooltip:HookScript("OnTooltipSetItem", function(self)
    myTestingKeybindingItemName, myTestingKeybindingItemLink = self:GetItem()
    myTestingKeybindingItemID = tonumber(strmatch(myTestingKeybindingItemLink, "item:(%d+):"))
    print("item under mouse",myTestingKeybindingItemLink)
end)
 
local myTestingKeybindingFrame = CreateFrame("FRAME", "WalkerboFrame")
myTestingKeybindingFrame:SetScript('OnEvent', function(self, event, ...)
    if event == 'PLAYER_LOGIN' then
        print("*** Addon Loaded ***")
        keybindingButtonSetUp()
    end
end)
myTestingKeybindingFrame:RegisterEvent('PLAYER_LOGIN')

There is probaly a more efficent way of achieveing the same result but for now I am happy just to have it working.

The next thing on my list is to have the keybindings show in the bindings menu so users can swap the bindings to a key of their choice.
If I fail at that I will probably be back.

Thank you all for the help
