FocusClaim

English | 简体中文

FocusClaim is a lightweight WoW Retail addon for setting a mouseover unit as focus, applying a raid marker, and announcing that focus to the group.

Features

Set any mouseover unit as focus with Shift / Alt / Ctrl + Left Click
Clear focus with the same shortcut over empty space
Apply one selected raid marker without clearing the previous focus marker
Announce My focus {rtN} to party, instance, or raid chat
Disable callouts while retaining focus and marker behavior
Support Blizzard frames and nameplates, DandersFrames, EllesmereUI, Enhance QoL, and UUF unit, party, and raid frames

FocusClaim owns the selected modifier and left-click combination on supported unit frames. An existing click-cast action on that combination is overwritten.

Usage

Enter /fc or /focusclaim to open the settings panel. The panel contains only:

Raid marker 1-8
Modifier key Shift / Alt / Ctrl
Callout channel Disabled / Party / Instance / Raid

New characters default to Shift + Left Click, Skull, and Party chat. Settings are stored per character in FocusClaimSettings.

Design

FocusClaim writes one short macro directly to a secure action button and each supported unit frame. It does not create or manage a character macro.

Refresh requests are coalesced, supported frames are deduplicated, and secure attributes are rewritten only when the binding plan changes. The settings controls are created only when the panel is first opened.

The default English macro is:

/clearfocus [@mouseover,noexists]
/stopmacro [@mouseover,noexists]
/focus [@mouseover,exists]
/tm [@mouseover]8
/p My focus {rt8}

Settings changed during combat take effect after combat ends.

Development

Run the Lua regression suite with luajit tests/run.lua.
