Shift modifier not working

Guides UI and Macro
1
Hi!

So, I made a macro (x are abilities of course) :

/cast [nomod] x
/cast [mod:shift] xx

Now... When left clicking the action bar the shift modifier works.
When shift + keyboard pressing the modifier DON'T work
When shift + mouse press G button (corsair scimitar) the shift modifier DON'T work.

When only keyboard or G-button pressing the first ability works.
So shift + any other pressing EXEPT left clicking with mouse DOESN'T work.

Any ideas?

Check your keybinds. If you already have shift+keyboard bound to another action button, that will take priority over your macro.

Enter this into the terminal:

defaults write com.blizzard.worldofwarcraft disable-expose-fix -bool YES

Restart WoW and you should be able to bind shift/ctrl/alt + mouse buttons.

Keybinds take priority over macro modifiers. By default SHIFT 1-6 are bound to Action Page 1-6. You’ll need to unbind them to use them as macro modifiers.

Just in case someone stumbles upon this while searching for solution. In my case i previously had bartender and manually bound key to shift+mouse button 4. Even after removing bartender it remembered that bind so i had to manually reassign shift+mouse button 4 to a random action and unbind it immediately after. As soon as i did that macro worked normally.

Just found this after a bump, I’ve been getting exactly the same issue since Dragonflight prepatch happened and it’s also happening with G key specifically. I’ve tried rebinding both G and shift-G and unbinding it to try and reset it without success.

Sometimes if i change mod in a macro to ctrl or alt it’ll work for one press sometimes and then stop again. I’ve checked 20 times there are no keybinding conflicts anywhere in the interface or current addons (even tried deleting WTF folder and running with no addons, still same).

One consistent thing about it is when it doesn’t work it’ll fire the mod command if I press shift-G super quickly a couple times in a row, but never on the first press.

Problem is I never deleted any addon or installed any new addon when it stopped working, and even if it is some addon I no longer have that changed something on the server side maybe how do I figure it out?
