Guess I am looking for a technical answer but in retail there is a setting that allows mouseover to be enabled, so you do not have to bind a key or make macros to cast spells at mouseover. Was just wondering if there is a reason this isn’t added into classic due to a technical limitation because it seems like a great addition to have.
I have no idea honestly, I haven’t played retail in forever and didn’t even know they added that.
This probably doesn’t answer your question but normally people here just make macros for all of their abilities and go from there.
Mouse over in retail is super recent so yeah there’s a technical reason. Depending on what you’re doing with the mouse over (healing, interrupting etc) just find an addon.
Clique is a good addon for mouse over. Easy to set up and use.

I did run Clique some years ago but ended up just writing macros to not depend on an addon.
Here is the basic template for my healing macro
#showtooltip
/cast [mod,@player][@mouseover,help][@target,help][@targettarget,help][] HealName
The order it will function: hold shift to self cast, friendly mouseover, friendly target, enemy’s target, default.
I love target of target for speed healing whoever has aggro.
