BindPad - X-Keys Pro style

[bryanc]

Thought someone else may be interested in this... I made some very minor changes to the BindKeys AddOn (written by Tageshi) to use with an X-Keys Pro.

The changes are: 1) Increase the number of buttons to 58, and 2) tweak the pads button layout to match the physical layout of the X-Keys Pro.


Attached patchfile if anyone is interested, and a zip of the addon with the patch already applied.

Patch is against 1.7.1 release of BindKeys.

Hey that's pretty slick! I am sure many people will find this useful.

Does it allow you to say, hold down alt and have layer 2 of keys show up? I know Bongos and most other popular button mods do that.

Now all we need is extra macros... none of the current mods seem to work properly.

Props dude! That's pretty wicked, gonna give it a try. Thank you!

Hey BryanC!

Can you please tell me what this would do? I have the same XKeys and this looks slick, but what does this addon do? How would you coordinate the programming for XKeys?

@Xzin: it doesn't do any paging for modifier keys.

Basically, my changes were only aethetic to the AddOn (I'm not the original author -- I updated the OP to clarify that).

BindPad simply gives you a place to put spells/items/macros and facilitates keybindings to those things without having to put them on an action bar. So it's not 100% suited for the way I am using it, particularly in that the keybindings created are attached to the specific action (rather than to the button that it is on). I didn't change the functionality at all, the original BindPad could be (mis)used the way I am using it -- my change just let's me do the whole X-Keys on one tab (and provides some visual clarity when I add to or change my key set up).

I did toy with the idea of using a bar mod for the X-keys instead, but didn't like that for a couple reasons: it eats up too much of my screen real estate for something I don't really need to see anyway; and it uses up pretty much every one of the game's built in 120 ActionID's (or at least half if you only use one layer).
