Use the native WoW Forever emote wheel with keyboard and mouse, plus an automatic action-bar macro.

Forever Emote Wheel

Use WoW Forever's native emote wheel with a keyboard and mouse, without enabling the gamepad interface.

Built for WoW Forever / Classic Plus beta 1.60.1.70009, Interface 16001. Requires the client's built-in Blizzard_Gamepad UI. Retail and other Classic clients are not supported.

Installation

Extract the ZIP into World of Warcraft/_classic_beta_/Interface/AddOns/ so the resulting path is ForeverEmoteWheel/ForeverEmoteWheel.toc. Restart the game after first installation and enable the addon. Use /reload after updates.

Quick start

Type /few to open the wheel. On login, the addon creates a FEW Emotes macro in General Macros. Open /macro and drag it to your action bar. Alternatively, assign a key under Keybindings > Forever Emote Wheel > Toggle emote wheel.

Controls

Input	Action
Mouse movement + left click	Select and perform an emote
1-8	Select a segment
Arrow keys	Select a cardinal direction
Tab / Shift+Tab	Select the next / previous segment
Enter or Space	Perform the selected emote
X, while the wheel is open	Sit or stand, then close the wheel
Right click or Escape	Close without performing an emote

Clicking the center or outside the wheel does not perform an emote. The wheel works outside combat and closes when combat begins. When it is closed, normal keybindings apply.

Commands

/few or /emotewheel: toggle the wheel.
/few macro: create or find the action-bar macro.
/few status: display the client version and native API compatibility.

Native appearance

Uses the game's own radial artwork, segment template, selection effects, labels and emote actions. The eight choices are Dance, Point, Wave, Kneel, Train, Chicken, Angry and Cheer, ordered counterclockwise from the right.

All eight choices share the same icon in the supported beta build. This is the original client's assignment. This addon does not provide a full emote catalog or pagination.

The wheel is centered on screen with English keyboard/mouse help. Native emote labels follow the game client's language. The original controller wheel, camera settings, gamepad mode and action bars are not modified.

Automatic macro

The generated macro uses the native emote icon and contains /few.

A General Macro named FEW Emotes (or a numbered variant) with the same command is reused.
Your own differently named /few macros do not prevent creation.
Existing macros are never overwritten; name conflicts add a numeric suffix.
If General Macro slots are full, free a slot and run /few macro.
Creation requested during combat is deferred until combat ends.
A deleted generated macro is recreated on the next login or UI reload.
You choose its action-bar position by dragging it from /macro.

Troubleshooting

For a missing macro, run /few macro outside combat and read the chat message. If a new file is not detected after /reload, restart the game completely. After beta updates, include /few status output when reporting issues.
