That's because it's not possible; Alt, Ctrl, and Shift are the only keys that can be used as modifiers in secure environments such as action bars/buttons.

The closest you could get would be to bind the F key to a macro that swapped between two pages, or cycled through pages in a fixed order, each time you pressed it. However, using this method would limit you to the standard 6 actionbar pages, and you would not be able to hold F, use an ability on the second page, and then release F to return to the previous page. You would have to press and release F to switch to the second bar, use the ability, and then press and release F again to go back to the first page.

That is what I was afraid of I suppose I'll just have the action bars out and use key-binds for the different key sets. Thanks for the help.

Hi guys,

Thanks for a great addon, has been keeping my life organised for sometime.

Quick question, have just started using MirrGui texture pack (from over at wowinterface) & was wondering if i could change the look of my BT4 bars to match my new UI, will i have to use a buttonfacade or skins pack? If so has anyone got an idea of the 'name' of the texture/skin i'll need to use?

Many thanks

A link to the texture pack in question would have been appreciated, but you could probably just install the MiirGui Icon Pack by the same author, and then not use any bar skinning addon (Masque etc.).

Otherwise, browse through the Masque skins on Curse and/or on WoWInterface to find one that looks similar. After you've chosen and installed one, you will probably have to use the in-game Masque options to adjust the color to match. Apathy or Elegance might be ones to check first.

Many thanks, I just downloaded it & now my UI looks perfect:o)

Sorry for not putting a link in, as i hadn't posted on forums here i just thought that i wouldn't be able to put links in.

`I'm having an issue with bartenders paging via modifier capabilities. I have two bars, one is set to page when I hold shift, the other is set to page when I hold control or alt. The shift bar is fine, it uses regular 1-= keys. However, the other bar (ctrl/alt) doesn't work properly. It pages when I hold the respective modifier, but I'm unable to use any of the buttons, I can see them just fine but hitting the key does nothing. The buttons on that bar are bound to my number pad, which I control with the buttons on the side of my Razer Naga. I don't know if this issue has existed for a while, because I just started using it today while redoing my bars. It would be very much appreciated if I could get some help, thank you!

Btw, using the Naga buttons on the second bar works fine when I'm not holding a modifier key, but the abilities on the other two bars that show up when I page it are useless.

I wanted to know if there was a way to incorporate a macro conditional such as: /changeactionbar [pet:Felhunter] 1
to switch a bar dependent on which pet I have out; the current conditional code I have is:
[bonusbar:5]11;[bar:2]2;[bar:3]3;[bar:4]4;[bar:5]5;[bar:6]6;5

where I assume its allowing me to modify bar 5 into shifting into different bars.

The goal for me is to create my own pet bar utilizing macro commands for pet attack, focus etc.

I'm essentially trying to emulate:
/swapactionbar 1 2 /cast [actionbar:1] Aspect of the Hawk; Aspect of the Monkey

but with pet conditional

Here is a sample of what I've tried to do on a different bar:
0; [pet:felhunter/imp/voidwalker/succubus/felguard]show;hide
What I want to in essence do is convert some of my bars into pet bars which toggle on and off depending on which pet is out, and if they would share the same keybinds.

I would like know if it's possible to change the strata level of individual bars? For example; bars 1 is on medium while bar 2 is on high.
What I'm trying to do is having bar 2 overlapping bar 1. But atm it's not working so good. Some spells go under bar 1 while other stay above it. Really weird.

I love Bartender4, it gives me enough slots for all my spells and actions without taking up most of the screen, plus I can place them anywhere I want them on screen.
But.... Since the big update I'm getting an error message in my text window while playing my toons. Please see the attached screen shot.

I'm still not able to use my Focus-Cast keys with BT. When I disable it then it works just fine. Was this bug ever fixed, or was a workaround ever found?

Thanks

After the latest WoW hofix the "Button Grid" have a very thick
border that makes the buttons almost impossible to see:



Anyone have a solution for this?

Solved: It was a a third party button skin that was marked out of date

I've had problems with my eject button not appearing when in various vehicles that don't have full UIs, like the Darkmoon Tiger or the Chopper mount. This should just appear as the Extra Action Bar correct? Or does it appear in relative to some other bar? Since I have my other bars set up in an odd way.

Found fix here http://www.wowace.com/addons/bartender4/tickets/835-vehicle-bar-is-missing/#comments

Hi, sorry if this has been answered but I couldn't find it through search.
So I play with all my bars hidden, I'm a key-binding freak.
What I'm trying to accomplish is to have BAR1 which is hidden, to SHOW when possessed.

I have tried custom condition with -> [possessing]show;fade
This does not work, any help ? :D

Thanks a lot, will try this come Friday :D

is there any way to move the spell/ability casting bar with bartender 4, and if so, where do i find it? oh, and thank you for the work in developing this addon. :)

Hi, great addon i am trying to switch bars i would like to be able to switch bar 1 for bar 8 and back at the press of a button 1 for single target 8 for aoe, or maybe if i put down a magma totem it switch's bars, is there anyway to do this ?

regards

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before - I didn't know how to search for it because I don't know what to call it. I'll try and describe it the best I can.

Bartender4 is awesome by the way, this is an annoyance that I'd like to see fixed (or perhaps I need to do something different), but it's not a huge deal.

I have a priest. I switch back and forth between disc and shadow very often, and both specs have PVP gear. So I have basically got 4 specs: disc, disc-PVP, shadow, and shadow PVP.

I have profiles for each one, different buttons, bars in different locations. The profile function is nice.

Issue: Sometimes when I switch specs, the icons may not load (rare), may load but not appear (rare), or most commonly, load in the wrong spot. It's like it's getting the bars confused, an entire bar will be in the wrong spot, OR rather the buttons on that bar will be in the wrong spot.

It is only fair to say that I have a TON of addons. There may be interactions here. I do have them trimmed down on this toon, but I have altoholic, bagnon, datastor, dbm, easymail, facemelter, fortexorcist, gladius, rapture, moveanything (have had problems with this one), mrclean, omen, playerscore, prat, quartz, recount, repbuddy, sexymap, spriest dot timer, tidy plates, titan panel, tomtom, Vuhdo, Wim, and X-perl Unit frames. Have more (lol) but those are the ones on this toon, which is my main.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
