NumPadBar  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 4.2
by: merak69 , Shaktar

Features

  • Offers a choice of five popular keyboards
  • Offers a choice of three action bar sizes
  • Switches bars on form/stance changes, if desired
  • Hides the numpad or labels if desired
  • Locks all action bars during combat
  • Prevents shift-dragging actions out of numpad buttons during combat
  • Prevents dragging numpad off screen
  • Saves settings individually for each character
  • Displays detailed instructions in a scrollable tooltip
  • Compatible with OmniCC, a ui mod that displays cooldowns on buttons

Warning

Due to the lack of spare action slots for druids and warriors, slots of bottom action bar #2 are used to store numpad actions in. For moonkin and treeform druids, the entire bottom action bar #2 is used. For warriors and feral druids using arrow keys, only the rightmost 4 slots are used.

Description

NumPadBar is an action bar in the shape of a numpad. It works like a built-in action bar such as the Bottom Right ActionBar, for example. You can drag actions and macros into and out of NumPadBar, just like other action bars.

The first major difference between NumPadBar and built-in action bars is that it is in the shape of a numpad. Also, keybindings for numpad keys are already set up for the numpad bar. These keybindings are temporary and are only used while the numpad is displayed.

The second major difference is that NumPadBar can be used as a normal action bar or as a stance bar. When using it as a normal action bar, the same actions are used no matter what stance you are in. When using it as a stance bar, the actions will change depending on your stance; they will be the same actions that are in the built-in stance bar.

You can move NumPadBar anywhere on screen. You can change its size. You can choose from a selection of popular keyboards; this affects the layout of the numpad keys. You can hide NumPadBar. You can hide the labels on the keys. You can select whether to display the Enter key (and override Chat binding), and whether to display the cursor keys (and override movement and other bindings).

In the heat of combat, it is all too easy to accidentally drag actions out of action bars. Therefore, NumPadBar, as well as the built-in action bars, are locked during combat. This prevents all changes to NumPadBar during combat.

You can display instructions in a scrollable tooltip by right-clicking the invisible background of NumPadBar near the numeric keys and selecting Help.

Key Binding

Would like to see something similar to this addon, but used only to inventory bound keys mapped on a keyboard. I get lost just trying to figure out which keys are still available - unbound.

The current version of NumPadBar is not updating the labels for range or displaying a red dot range indicator. I have tried tracking this problem down. This would not be an easy fix. It may be a choice of either displaying labels or displaying the red dot range indicator. I will see what I can do. Please check back in a week for a fix to the range indicator.

I have uploaded NumPadBar 2.20. It is compatible with WoW 2.2.
The instructions have been completely revised. Please select Help to read them.
Druids: The numpad no longer duplicates stance bar 1 when not stance switching.
Lots of bug fixes and compatibility fixes for WoW 2.2.

Change Log 2.20
a) added a scrolling tooltip to display help/instructions rather than a series of dialogs
b) major revisement to instructions, especially action bars/slots and stance switching
c) numpad actions for druids no longer duplicate stance bar 1 when not stance switching
d) added stance switching for moonkin and treeform (bug fix)
e) correct stance set now shown after displaying or hiding cursor or enter keys (bug fix)
f) fixed red dot bug in normal action bars (bug fix)
g) added slash command /numpad which can be used instead of /numpadbar
h) added warning to instructions regarding usage of bottom action bar #2 to save numpad actions in
i) split cursor keys into 2 parts, navigation keys & arrow keys, for more display options
j) fixed wow 2.2 bug: must now call update actions explicitly after buttons are created
k) fixed wow 2.2 bug: using getleft/top instead of getpoint due to relativepoint changes

Yes. I'll be posting a fix this weekend. (NumPadBar 2.1 does not work with WoW 2.2). Check back Saturday or Sunday. It may have the red dot fix as well.

weird dots

I just started using this mod, and I like it, but it's having a weird side effect. On a few of my action bar buttons, I'm getting a dot (maybe it's a period or apostrophe, I dont know). It goes away during combat and shows up OOC. If I move the buttons, it goes away for a little while and then comes back. I'm pretty sure it's related to this mod, as I did not have the issue before, and when I turned this mod off, they went away. It's not enough to make me stop using the mod but if there's a way to get rid of the dots that'd be great.

All users will have to rearrange their actions in the numpad action bar after upgrading from 2.01 to 2.10. This is because the order of the slots were changed to match the built-in stance bars.

I've uploaded version 2.10 of NumPadBar.

I have added stance switching but only for stances that have built-in stance bars:
Druids: bear, cat, moonkin, tree
Priests: shadowform
Rogue: stealth
Warriors: battle, defensive, berserker

The numeric keys on the numpad will have the same actions as the built-in stance bar (action bar 1). Specifically, keys 0-9 and decimal point on the numpad will be the same as keys 0-9 and minus key on the normal keyboard.

You can now select whether to display the Enter key (and override Chat binding), and whether to display the cursor keys (and override movement bindings).

Change log: 2.10

a) added stance switching for druids, priests, rogues, warriors (classes that have stance bars)
a) 1) druid stances: bear, cat, moonkin, tree
a) 2) priest stances: shadowform
a) 3) rogue stances: stealth
a) 4) warrior stances: battle, defensive, berserker
b) added preference to turn off stance switching for those classes
c) added enter key binding preference and cursor key binding preference
d) no longer flashes the background for mouseover events
e) dragging the numpad or using the menu cause the background to display momentarily
f) clicking on the background toggles between displaying and hiding the background
g) fixed bug where action bars would remain locked after combat

Then it will be my favourite actionbar addon!
At the moment I am usuing cogsbar but I would much prefer this one over cogs soley because these buttons are scaleable...

any chance of support for diffrent actionsets based on stance/form?

I've used this setup for years, between various mods such as Flexbar, DUF, and TrinityBars. Glad to see someone actually make a mod focused on it.

Edit: Just tested it out. Unfortunately, it is currently useless without stance support, hiding while OoC, more keyboard layouts, etc.

Cool, this is an *excellent* idea!

Though I haven't tried it, I already have a question: do you support stances with this numpad actionbar?

I ask this, because I always use the numpad for everything I do with my rogue and I never ever map any ohter keyboard key for actions, so this is a vital feature for me.

Thank you for this fine idea!

Version 2.01 includes Windows and Mac "numpad only" keyboards without Enter or arrow/cursor keys.

Changes for 2.01

A) The logic for making sure that the numpad does not get dragged offscreen has been completely changed. It should now be possible to drag the numpad anywhere onscreen no matter what resolution your video is set at. The /show slash command has been removed since it's not needed anymore.

B) One of the keyboards that can be used does not display (or use) the enter key nor the cursor keys. This is the default keyboard (Windows "numpad only"). This lets you continue to use the normal Open Chat and movement keys. If you would rather use the enter and cursor keys for numpad actions, you can select one of the other keyboards. You will have to rebind Open Chat and use other keys (such as WASD) for movement. There is now a warning message when selecting a keyboard with enter and cursor keys, warning about the Open Chat and movement key bindings.

C) Warriors and druids no longer have to give up 2 of the normal action bars. Only 4 extra slots are needed by warriors and druids. The 4 slots used are the rightmost 4 slots of the bottom action bar #2. More precisely, if the Macintosh (enter & cursor) keyboard is selected, the rightmost 4 slots would be used. If a Windows keyboard of some type is selected, the rightmost 2 slots would be used. If the "numpad only" keyboard is selected, then no extra slots would be used.

D) It should now be more clear that the numpad is draggable and has a drop down menu. Specifically, the gray background can be left-clicked for dragging and right-clicked for displaying the menu. There are more messages for first-time users that explain this. The entire background is now clickable and is initially highlighted for first time users.

E) The menus have been simplified and clarified.

Note) All users will have to rearrange their actions in the numpad action bar after upgrading from 2.00 to 2.01.
