Chat Addon that links Skills from the Bar?

As the Title says, im searching for a Addon that enables me to Link skills from my Hotkey Bar into the Chat. It frustates the GOAT outta me in battle rp (Not that i had much) to search the skill in the book first and stuff

Not something i’ve ever thought about, but now you mention it that would be useful.

I think for now you’ll just have to settle with opening the spellbook and linking from there. If you’re doing something fairly regularly you could possibly macro an emote.

Edit: This is doable with .lua, so I may look into this…

(Yes this is a test character).

Ooof Lua…i was thinking mor along the lines of an addon that enables to shift link like you do from the spellbook…

If I get something fruitful, it could be shoved into an addon that does just that.

Maybe something that looks for a shift click when the chat is open and sees what the mouse is pointing at, takes the id, and pastes in the item like how linking from a wowhead page does.

Oooh you can write addons? If you find out would be possible, i am willing to donate some as a thank you

I have something that’s technically a macro.

/run ChatFrame1EditBox:Insert(GetSpellLink(116))
/run ChatFrame_OpenChat(url, DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME);

This will put [Frostbolt] into chat while you’re typing, or start a new sentence with [Frostbolt]. It would have to be a separate button, but it works on action bars. You can find spell id’s on Wowhead by looking for the numbers after “spell=”

There’s probably a way to put this in an actual ability macro (if chat isn’t open, cast the spell, otherwise paste it in) but it is bed time.
