Idea for an addon, is it possible?

Guides UI and Macro
1

HI there. I’ve been wanting to create an addon that will let me mark items in my bag as junk so they’re auto sold. I know there’s addons to scrap junk items automatically, but I want that fine-grain control over what is being deleted without having to add items to a permanent list. I’d want to make it so items marked as junk also bypass the “type delete to delete” prompt.

I have experience in other languages so I thought this would be a cool addon to learn LUA and the wow addon api. But not having seen this functionality anywhere else leads me to believe it’s not possible? Although in theory it would just behave like any of the other junk addons that let you add items to a list.

Maybe my google-fu is weak and an addon like this already exists. Does anyone know?

Scrap is pretty close. Let’s me mark items under my cursor as junk which is great, but unfortunately it saves that item as junk forever. But I guess it mostly does what I’m looking for. I’ll have to keep playing with it to see if it has the other functionality I want, but at least it answered my question about what is possible!

Thanks.
