WOW Cata Classic Mouseover Delete Item Macro

Guides UI and Macro
1

Can you please share an update macro that will let me mouseover an item and just click a keyboard button to delete the current item and skip popup prompt?

Hi this used to be my working script but now it doesn’t work:

/run local slotButton, bag, slot = GetMouseFocus() bag, slot = slotButton:GetParent():GetID(), slotButton:GetID() if bag and slot then PickupContainerItem(bag, slot) DeleteCursorItem() end

I get this error:

This too doesn’t work.

/run StaticPopup1Button1:SetScript(“OnUpdate”, function(self) self:Enable() end)

Looks like it’s C_Container.PickupContainerItem now.

/run local slotButton, bag, slot = GetMouseFocus() bag, slot = slotButton:GetParent():GetID(), slotButton:GetID() if bag and slot then C_Container.PickupContainerItem(bag, slot) DeleteCursorItem() end

That only picks the item up, but it does not delete… hmm.… NO LUA errors though! That’s a good a good thing…

DeleteCursorItem has required a hardware event since Shadowlands so what you’re trying to do may no longer be possible.
