Fact Finder

By

Hold Shift+Alt on almost anything (items, quests, spells, buffs, NPCs, chat links) to get its Wowhead page ready to copy.

📌 Fact Finder answers "what is this?" in one click. Hold Shift+Alt and everything you can look up lights up. Right-click an item, a quest, a buff or an NPC, and the right Wowhead page for your game version pops up, already selected. Press Ctrl+C and paste it in your browser.

🔥 Features

✅ Lens mode – Hold Shift+Alt. Whatever is under your mouse gets a gold highlight and a label ("Quest: The Defias Brotherhood"), and everything you can look up gets a soft outline.
✅ Knows what it's looking at – Items, quests, spells, buffs and debuffs, NPCs, objects, factions, achievements, currencies and item sets. Works from your bags, bank, action bars, quest log, character slots, reputation, loot, vendors, trade window and chat links. When it only knows a name, it gives you a Wowhead search instead of guessing.
✅ Click things in the world – Hold the keys and click an NPC, a mining node or a chest to look it up without talking to it, attacking it or looting it (where your game version allows it).
✅ The right Wowhead page – Links go to Wowhead's section for your game version (Forever, Classic, TBC, MoP…), in your game's language or in English. "Jump to Comments" is optional, for the players' tips.
✅ One keystroke to copy – The link opens already selected. Ctrl+C copies it, and the box says "Copied" and closes. WoW doesn't let addons open web pages or use the clipboard, so this is as quick as it gets.
✅ Never gets in the way – The lookup click lands on Fact Finder's own overlay, so your item isn't used and your buff isn't cancelled. It's off in combat by default; the key binding works any time.
✅ Recent lookups – Your last lookups (up to 50, shared by all your characters). Click one to copy it again, or Shift-click to link it in chat.
✅ Make it yours – Pick the keys (Shift+Alt, Ctrl+Alt, Shift+Ctrl…) and the mouse button. Choose the highlight style (Gold Frame, Glow or Corners) and color (By Type shows items in their quality color), labels on or off, and where the copy box opens, with a live preview in the settings.
✅ Lightweight & dependency-free – Just install and play!
