LF addon to add floating text to UI

Guides UI and Macro
1

I currently use a lot of ease-of use addons, but I was wondering if there is anything to add text to your UI. Kind of like Bartender, but instead of buttons, just making floating text somewhere on the screen that you can move around.

The reason I ask is that I have different setups for each character, but I often forget what they do when I come back to an older character, and I’d love to have little text reminders next to my bartender setups.
(Example: “Healing spells, bound to VuhDo”, “Combat spells, bound to 1-9”, “Macros, bound to Shift 1-9”)
Bartender is helpful with displaying the numbers on my first set of keybinds, which is great! But it can’t display what keybinds I have on other addons, of course.
In the meantime I just use a notepad addon with different profiles for each character, but a floating text addon would make the brief learning curve much easier for me when I switch characters.

Sunn Art maybe.

Could also do it with WeakAuras

With something like Discord Art (presumably KgPanels) you can create mutilple texts etc. to place anywhere on the screen. You can create a profile for each character or mutiple characters can use one one profile.

I’d been Huntarding so long that when I tried Fire Mage and Druid I would literally forget that I wasn’t on my Hunter and muscle memory would have me doing waaaaaaay wrong things.

I used Weak Auras to not only put reminders on the screen as to what class I was playing but put description strings attached to each command button reminding me what they did.

I didn’t have to do it long because it was an incredibly cluttered UI as a result, but for getting me over the hump of learning to play different classes and specs it’s not a bad solution.

Thanks! Didn’t even think about WeakAuras, that’s smart.
