More hotkeys in a seperate window

#1 Post by Stition »

I know this isn't a problem for most people, but I'd like to have a second hotkey bar with just different equipment. There isn't enough space in the 60 available for all abilities in addition to all this.

I'm playing a temporal warden right now. I need to switch gear to get the effect reduction stuff and swap other gear while buffing before attacking anything. It wasn't too big of an issue before, but opening the inventory window is taking me ages.

It's only become a problem now since I'll die if anything looks at me on madness, and there's a lot of retreating after I kill one thing. It's almost unplayably tedious to do the buffing as a temporal warden, but some more bars would make it easy.

They should be a seperate bar from the basic hotkeys, and resizeable. Maybe able to drag abilities and items to it for click on use/equip. Please help! My mind is going numb without it!

Edit:
Also make the combat log a maximum size, I always have to reset tome when it gets too large or the game crashes. Maybe 5000 lines or something. It get ungodly huge after playing for a while.

Iirc there are 4 different hotkey bars. Think you can scroll them with.. can't remember. Was it Tab? Or maybe Page Up/Down.

@Stition - you may like these proposals for trimming down the button bar:

Both could help solve the issue you're having.

There are as many different "rows" of hotkey bar as it takes to count up to 60 at your bar display width. Since he mentions that the 60 buttons are not enough, I'd say it's a good bet he knows about pageup / pagedown. ;)
Check out my addons: Nullpack (classes), Null Tweaks (items & talents), and New Gems fork.

Yeah, I have like 40-50 icons on my bar. Thought each page has the same amount, but apparently they overlap a bit.

I think page 1 is hotkey 1-12, page 2 is hotkey 13-24, etc, up to page 5 being 49-60. Adding additional pages or a second bar has been on my long-term to-do list, as I ran into the limit with one character as well. I might be able to roll it into DocNull's suggestions.
