This looks awesome. More quickbars is good! Autotab even better! One question though: as you're using the !qb, have you found a way around the !qb delay that seems to be in place? I was initially using one hotbar as !qb alterations, but found the delay in battle to be too high. If you're talking about the delay between sending the !qb command to the server and receiving it. Yeah, depending on your ping you have a .1 - .6 second delay before it finishes querying the server and loading your new bar. (I am assuming !qb is saved on the servers though, it might just be slow and player side)
I can't fix this, or change it. The delay isn't bad (for me at least), but like i said it's ping dependent. If you're playing with some terrible lag/ect constantly, you could get anywhere from .6 seconds delay (300 ping) to a full 1 second delay (500 ping). In those cases hotbars are the least of your problems, since everything you do in the game would also share that huge lag delay. Most players are probably in the 70-200 Ping range. So .1-.4 seconds max. Like i said, i can't fix that. My suggestion would be to simply use the normal hotbars for spells you need reactions to, and use these for additional abilities you may not use as frequently, but still want easy access to. Although i stress, that for some generic damage dealing spells, i haven't found the delay long enough to be an issue, and the small delay is a very cheap price to pay to have spells on your actionbars you wouldn't otherwise, specially when no matter how bad your ping is, it'll still bring up the spells for you before you could navigate to them on your radial menu. Tl;DR: It's tons faster than the radial menu and opening your spellbook/dragging things to your hotbar.

I did some testing, had a torrent program running at full-tilt and a brother streaming some netflix. I couldn't get a delay of more than .3 seconds for the hotbar. Which isn't bad at all, considering my character took a full two seconds to follow any commands i gave it, and her running animation was so lagged it consisted of her hopping across the town on one leg without the other ever touching the ground (The animation was constantly restarting due to lag). On a different note, it would be amazing if you guys could leave some feedback/some acknowledgement you're using the script. So i can hone it/change it for what you want to use it for. I've got some ideas for quasi/class specific features. But I'm curious what you guys would want. We've got the entire F4-F12 row to work with for bindings!! Also do you guys find the number keys easier to use? or hard to transition to after using the Function keys for so long? -Next Ideal-Hotkey: Figure out a way to toggle "Turning off auto attack" for casters. |

Added 1/30/12 V1.55+
Easy Combat-Casting Toggle!
Spacebar now Toggles "Combat-Casting Mode"
After toying with combat casting, and wishing it was permanently enabled (not a feature yet, but may be in the future)
I managed to make "Spacebar" turn on and off combat casting every time you pressed it. Without needing a hotbar or keybind, just a really simple combat pose toggle. At the moment it only works with combat casting, but if you request other combat poses I'll add capabilities for them and options/instructions in the script to change spacebar to those instead.
It also shouldn't interfere with anything! not even typing!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.55
-Spacebar now Toggles "Combat-Casting Mode" when pressed.
: This will not interfere with typing (If it does, tell me)
: You don't need combat casting on your bar to use this!
: This feature can be toggled on/off, and if you guys ask me nicely in a post i can modify the script to allow you to choose from an assortment of combat feats, like parry or flurry of blows/ect.
-Worked on making the script less buggy as a whole, i promise it wont overwrite things anymore soon. Or open wierd-windows and things.
Edit: Emergency update to 1.56, Spacebar might be haha i overlooked some things ok? It's now off until i fix it, if you have 1.55, just change it to 0.

v1.58
-Completely changed the input command system. Commands are now copy/pasted into chat, as opposed to input individually. This prevents them from activating windows like the spellbook/ect.
-This means that 90% of issues where spell slots were inadvertently overwriting things, or causing trouble mid combat, will be fixed.
-The quick chat window will still probably activate rarely, because paste is Ctrl+V
-Combat-Casting Mode is once again enabled by default, it shouldn't get stuck permanently entering messages every time you hit space anymore.

v1.6
-Updated distribution method. Exe doesn't require autohotkey installed to function, but works exactly the same. Additionally it should work on machines where it didn't before. (Run it as administrator)

Added 1/30/12 V1.55+ Easy Combat-Casting Toggle! Disabled by Default (Enable at your own discretion, has a high likelyhood of making it difficult to communicate via chat with others). . . -- Soon i'll probably change the hotkey to something not used for typing. How about using the Windows key? I'm planning to look into that myself (after getting the idea for a DCM key from you). - Niilo |

I can't get the auto tab to work the ~ key does not work.
*Edit* Heh, might be worth adding that the ~ key is in a different place on English keyboards, for us it's `
