[CATA] Can't shift click spells from spell book

When posting in this forum, please always include:

  • Whether you’re playing WoW Classic Era or Season of Discovery or Cataclysm Classic.

  • The character name and realm on which you encountered the issue, if it differs from your posting character.

Shift Clicking a spell in the spell book does not create a CHATLINK.

I pulled the interface code from the console command and inspected the SpellBookFrame.xml, and there isn’t a Modifier check in the OnClick event in the CheckButton “SpellButtonTemplate”. The vanilla version of the spell book has the Modifier check in the xml. I also don’t see a modifier check in the OnClick Spell Button mixin.

Might be a quick fix to just throw in the IsModifiedClick check in either the xml or the mixin

+1 on the issue. Please fix. OP already provides one potential solution.

A similar issue, you can link abilities from the dungeon journal but the links cannot be clicked to expand.

I’ve made an addon to address this shiftclick issue. For some reason i can’t post links so go to CurseForge search DragLink. Adds Drag & Drop macro creation/Insertion and so much more.
