Separating keybinds on steam deck and PC

[Snukemus-sargeras]

Anyone know of a way to keep these bindings separated?

Hi, sorry to revive an old topic. I’ve been seeing this line and trying to figure out where exactly should I type or put that line? I’m trying to set it up in a way where the options I do on steam deck stays on steam deck and not affect the other computers. Thank you.

> run local t={"synchronizeConfig", "synchronizeSettings","synchronizeMacros","synchronizeBindings"} for k, v in pairs(t) do C_CVar.SetCVar(v,0) end ReloadUI()

enter it in chat on the SteamDeck.

[Blackmon-2214538 (Blackmon)]

Thanks alot. Chat in wow right? Also, do I just need to do it once? And I only have to do it on the deck right? Like I don’t mind my other computer syncing up. It’s just the deck is completely different and I wanted to remove all action bars and focus on the addon to remove clatter.

Yup.

I have tried running this command on my steam deck in desktop mode and in gaming mode. I even tried it on my PC but the keybinds won’t stop syncing. Any other suggestions to fixing this?

If you’re talking about copying and pasting what Murder posted, it’s all messed up from the forums cuz they didn’t use code tags.

/run local t={"synchronizeConfig", "synchronizeSettings","synchronizeMacros","synchronizeBindings"} for i,k in pairs(t) do C_CVar.SetCVar(k,0) end ReloadUI()

Is this the correct command, or is FizzleMizz the correct one?

Using Steam Deck and PC have separate settings?

Just to clarify, Elvenbanes code won’t work as it is using k for the CVar settings. In the for loop being executed, k is the implied table key which in this case is 1, 2, 3, 4 My modification adds the v (key values or “synchronizeConfig” etc.) to the loop and uses that for the CVars. Edit: Both sets of code are now functionally identical.

[Fizzlemizz-3415 (Fizzlemizz)]

They are all exactly the same in function now so all will work.

Use what Elvenbane posted above.

Thanks! Are you familiar with MySlot? Does this do something similar, I’ve seen people mention it.

MySlot

It moves UI layout and settings between characters/accounts but, as far as I know, doesn’t effect synchronisation settings between computers which is what this macro it doing.

This seems to no longer work as of July 2026. Found a repost of this advice on YT where a comment suggested it stopped working in TWW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wfdzDl7o4Y

I tried running the command on Steam Deck and no change – switching abilities on PC still results in a change on Steam Deck. My next possible solution is to utilise additional action bars e.g. 6-8 as the Steam Deck bindings, and keep bars 1-5 for PC use only. This will only work in TBC Anniversary from what I can tell, as Classic only has 5 action bars total.
