A simple addon so you don't have to dig into the quick slot interface during combat.
Two (non-exclusive) modes of operation:
- The addon provides an expanded quick slot bar. You can click the desired item to switch your current quick slot item and then use it (as you always do) with your quick slot hotkey (default: Q)
- Probably more useful, is that you can also set up hotkeys (from the Escape menu -> Controls) and press the hotkey to set that item as the current quick slot item and then use it (default: Q).
Settings/other features:
- Move the expanded quick slot bar by clicking and dragging the area around the quick slot items.
- Themed to match ability bar.
- Turn on/off the expanded quick slot bar display (hotkeys will continue to work).
- Turn on/off auto-hide feature when in UI mode.
- Turn on/off auto-hide feature when in combat.
- Turn on/off key bind display and set position (horizontal and vertical) relative to quick slot items.
- Turn on/off item quantity display and set position (horizontal and vertical) relative to quick slot items.
- Turn on/off show warning and error visual cues based on item count.
- Turn on/off smart visual cues that show only when there is something to report.
- Turn on/off the numbers 1 through 8 displayed for each quick slot item.
- Turn on/off quick slot item background.
- Turn on/off base background around quick slot items.
- Can resize expanded bar to display as grids or purely vertical/horizontal strips (default). This also lets you only show a limited number of quick slots if you so desire.
- Keybinds to move to previous item or next item. Intelligently skips empty slots.
- Shows currently selected quick slot item with a colored label and all others with some translucency.
- Can adjust the size of the quick slot items.
- Turn on/off lock UI mode to prevent resizing or moving.
- Can force quick bar to show via a hotkey. This overrides all your other settings until its turned off by pressing the key again.
- Color indicator for quantity label and key bind label if item quantity is 0.
- Can disable default quick slot action button provided by the game.
- Can control the opacity/translucency of slot items that are not currently selected.
- Settings saved across all your characters.
- Reset addon to default states.
Tip:
- Access the settings page by pressing Escape -> Settings -> G Quick Slot Bar
- I am constantly updating the addon, so if you don't use Minion, make sure to favorite it or visit the comments area often to learn about the changes!

Cheers, Balki
cant get this to qork id really like to have it is there going to be a update
Is there any way that you can make the addon bar be a 2 click operation.
Click 1. Switch to the Item you want in the quick slot.
Click 2. Use the item in the quick slot .
that way it minimizes the time and you are just telling it to use the quck slot item and by passing ESO using items with scripts rule.
The item icon is only showing for the active slot on the bar. I have items in the first 4 slots and the only one displayed is the one I select using my hotkey. Is it because the addon isn't updated?
Are they going to update this tool, i have been reading lots of great things??
Useful. Thanks!
I am having similar issues as Neutrinoh. I setup the controls for the new quick bar as shown in the pic above Binding using the F1-F11 keys. But when I am hitting F1 for my healing pots or any other F button nothing happens. I would really love to be able to use this. What are we doing wrong?
Hey guys:
Yes, ESO doesn't let us use items via scripts. So you press your assigned key to switch the active quickslot item (so you don't have to deal with the wheel) and then press the quickslot item use key (default: Q)
Assuming you have keybindgs F1 F2 F3 for health potion, magicka potion, stamina potion and your quickslot wheel key is Q:
To use magicka potion, you'd press F2 -> Q. Now to use health, F1 -> Q and so on.
Hope this clears things up!
I love this additional bar, but would really love a key that actually uses the item in the quickslot.
I've tried assigning various keys and they all do the same thing: the quickslot key-label turns green, and that's it. I'm still left pressing Q and dealing with that abominable Wheel of Stupidity.
Am I doing something incorrectly? Or is this simply another shortcoming of the game itself (like that horrendous wheel)?
Much thanks for this addition.
really handy! thanks! no bugs yet
woot, ya just bar of our class abilities and a bar for our wep abilities ..and then allow us to hotkey in a change or something :) ...thanks for working on this! ...
nice addon, thanks for making it. to expand on omegacronalpha's comment... switching to 2nd wep is just a hotkey button but maybe seeing it might be helpful ....
more importantly ... could you please create a bar that shows all the abilities that we have available to us and allow us switch abilities in and out of our current hotbar ...so i dont have to open my skills tab everytime i want to switch fiery breath with searing strike! lol .. hopefully you understand what im saying :)
thanks so much
Thanks for the comments, glad you find it useful. I can show it on screen, but we still cannot use it (ESO restrictions). Will add to ToDo list!
Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it! Interesting idea on the bar that shows all things you have, or even just some hand-picked skills so its easier for you to switch. In fact, I can even have a hotkey for you to enable the switch (but only out of combat, ESO restrictions). Added to ToDo list!
Really nice addon - I hate having to cycle through the QuickSlot wheel thing. Would it be possible (probably in a different addon) to put your second ability bar (the one attached to your second weapon set) on the screen at the same time as the first one? Or possibly even just add more ability slots?
Awesome work, mate!
Think I forgot to reply here, but images were added shortly after your comment! Thanks for the feedback!
No matter what I do I can't get this thing to move... so I deleted it. I WANT to use it, but not stuck in the middle of my screen. :(
Sorry to hear! There is a row of buttons and some space all around it (black area). You should be able to click and drag that area to reposition. I am making some tutorial pictures for such things. Hope its not a bug, since I've had close to 8000 downloads and this is the first I am hearing about this! (Fingers-crossed)
Ok, I figured it out. When you turn the background off there's nothing left to drag it with, lol. Got it... thanks.
Can you make it so the Auto Hide option works the other way round?
It's just pointless to have quick slot bar visible when all other bars are hidden and vanish when you actually want it to show up in menus.
