I don’t have alt-1 bound to anything in wow, but pressing alt-1 results in activating the first item in my action bar, which is bound to 1. I’ve checked my keybinds and alt-1 is not an alternative binding for the first button on my action bar.
The problem I am trying to solve is binding buttons on my logitech G600 mouse, which has 12 additional buttons, but must be bound to keys on my keyboard. I thought using modifiers (alt/control) would work, but wow is not interpreting the modifiers correctly unless something is specifically bound to them. Currently control-1 does not activate my action bar button 1, but if I unbind it from ‘pet action 1’, it does.
Wow is using a ‘greedy’ interpretation of button presses, but I need it to be less greedy so I can use those keybinds elsewhere. How do I accomplish this? Also, I do not have anything set up for the ‘self cast’ function in the interface panel.
Its only greedy in the sense that the application is the focused application and takes priority. You’re complaining about thirdparty not taking priority over firstparty. Your logitech mouse is neither firstparty nor secondparty with WoW, and barely qualifies as secondparty with Windows. Its, for all intent and purpose, thirdparty.
“Greedy” would be WoW forcibly allocating a bind and not allowing you to use it with anything else. It does this with certain Mouse Button interaction; while some of these can be keybound there’s still limitations. Anything that has changeable keybounds is not greedy, and they were even kind enough to have two sets of binds.
Use an addon if you want better thirdparty support. Don’t ask for firstparty support for a device that is strictly thirdparty.
Blizzard does not support the use of thirdparty devices or software and if they feel like it they can ban you for using them at their leisure. If its not first or secondparty supported you are doing so at your own expense.
