Keybind Hero

Keybind Hero is a minigame for learning your keybinds. The abilities on your action bars fall down the screen as icons, and you press the key you bound to each one before it reaches the line. It gets faster as you go.

Made by WoWSoD Pro.

How it plays

• Type /kbh to open the game, then press Play.
• Icons of your own abilities fall down five lanes. Press the key you have bound to an ability to hit it.
• The earlier you press, the more it scores. Every 10 hits in a row raises your multiplier, up to x4.
• Every 8 hits is a new level: icons fall faster and arrive sooner.
• You have three lives. A wrong key or an icon reaching the line costs one.
• A missed icon stays on the line for a moment and shows the key you needed.
• Esc stops the run.

It trains your real setup

• It reads your actual action bars and bindings, including modifiers such as Shift-2 or Ctrl-E, and mouse buttons.
• Abilities you miss come up more often, in the same run and in later ones.
• The game-over screen lists the abilities worth practising, with their keys.
• A wrong key tells you what that key is really bound to.
• Easy mode shows the key on each icon, for learning a new layout. It keeps its own best score.
• Tick boxes choose which bars are in play, so you can drill one bar at a time.

Leaderboard

Best scores are swapped with guild and group members who also have the addon, and every score you hear is remembered. Addons can't reach the internet, so there is no global list: the board is everyone you've been online with, plus your own characters.

Good to know

• While a run is on, the game window takes every key press, so nothing is cast and you can't move until the run ends or you press Esc.
• A run can't start in combat, and stops if combat begins.
• Mouse-button and mouse-wheel binds only count while the cursor is over the game window.
• It reads Blizzard's own action bars 1 to 8. The pet and stance bars, and bar addons such as Bartender or Dominos, are not read.
• Built for WoW Forever (interface 16001).

Commands

• /kbh opens or closes the game.
• /kbh reset clears this character's best scores and practice history.
