How do I get more keybinds?

Hi, Used all my action buttons on macros and keybinds, but I would like to have 1-2 more macros but I dont have space to put them anywhere on my actionbars. Is there a solution to this? ty

No, there is not.

Did you try to use macros with key modifiers? like press ALT + 1 to do A, press CTRL + 1 to do B, press Shift + 1 to do C? you can have 3+ different spells in 1 slot on your bar.

Example macro:

#showtooltip
/cast [nomodifier] Fire Ward
/cast [modifier:shift] Frost Ward

hi, I did not try this and ty for reply.

If i made your macro above as a macro, and bound that to lets say key “1”. Would pressing 1 use fire ward and shift+1 frostward?

Also u could save some space with conditions in macros, for example, i used one on this druid, that if i had enemy in targer used soothe(enrage dispel) and if i had friendly in target it used dispell. Ofc it depends on class and content, but it might free some binds

Out of curiosity, what in the world are you playing that makes you run out of the 72 action bar spaces that the base game provides you with?

However, if these 72 aren’t enough for you just install Bartender or any other action bar addon and you’ll get more.

a lot of pvp macros, that makes each spell like polymorph counterspell speallsteal, ice lance have 5 macros for target,focus,arena1,arena2,arena3 mostly

I guess, but for the sake of argument, lets say you make 5 different macro variations for 12 spells. That still leaves you with another 12 action buttons free and you’d be really hard pressed to find a class that needs to have 24 different things bound in this expansion, assuming the absurd example of having 5x12 spells take up 60/72 spots

i only have that for 5 spells, then i have 4 keybind for changing essence talents gear, for pvp/raid/m+/ vs rogues, then i have 3 kind of pre pots bound, lightfoot potion, goblin glider kit, 20 base spells, use cloak, use 2 trinkets, pvp talent, random macro for mount up, cancel ice block, cancel bop, eat food, make food etc

How…? Use modify macros using Shift/Alt/Ctrl.

How did the world best mage not know this already ?

People actual use the ALT button?

I dont. Too hard and cumbersome to reach. I have enough troubles with shift+number combination. I draw the line at shift+4 since 5 is too much of a reach

You can use Healbot as dps or tank to get more buttons.

When solo or in group, I use it with prot pally like: left click on my bar - flash heal, right click on bar - def.cd 1, crtl-right click on my bar - def.cd 2, mouse button 5 on bar - lay on hands, mouse button 4 - stoneform etc.
Healbot is also useful for classes with buffs - on mage when my int buff expires, my bar turns white reminding me to rebuff. Also, you can see who is in range or out of range of your utility spells.
Also, cleansable debuffs are shown
