Key Bindings 101
BRK » 08 March 2007 » In Macros »
So BRK was asked about how to use key bindings. “I’ve got all these nice macros, but I have to use my mouse to click on them.” Well, we can make some spiffy keybindings so that you can use your keyboard for all your nifty macros.
The above picture shows the left side of my interface buttons. Everybody has the lower row with the numbers, but notice how my upper row shows the function keys F1-F12. As you can see, F1 and F2 are trinkets, F4 is my Pull Shot macro, F7 is my Pet Attack with Hunter’s Mark macro, F8 is my Aspect of the Hawk/Viper swapping macro, F9 is my Misdirection macro, and the others are mapped to standard spells. This is done using the Key Bindings feature of WoW.
I thought this was helpful:rolleyes:
This is where we tell the program to assign the Bottom Left action buttons to the function keys. One we assign these keys here, no matter what spell or macro button we put on that spot, it will be activated by the approprate function key. Of course, you can assign any keys here you want, and you can assign keys to all the other action buttons on the other five action bars. Your interface should be built for your playstyle.
People may ask, if I use F1 for a trinket, what do I use when I want to target myself? Well, I changed my key binding for Target Self to CTRL-S. I also use H for mounting my Flying Mount macro, (H to mount, CTRL-H to dismount), G for my Talbuk and Screenshot is my Help key.
