Supported Versions

  • 2.5.5

v1.0.0

  • Initial release
  • Replaces Blizzard's truncated keybind abbreviations on all 5 default Blizzard action bars with full readable labels
  • Supports all modifier combinations (Alt, Ctrl, Shift) displayed as A-, C-, S- prefixes
  • Custom short labels for special keys: mouse wheel (MWU/MWD), numpad, home, end, page up/down, spacebar, arrows, and more
  • Labels only display on visible buttons with a keybind assigned — empty unbound slots show nothing
  • Creates labels on separate overlay frames to bypass Blizzard's internal button clipping restriction
  • Registers for UPDATE_BINDINGS, ACTIONBAR_PAGE_CHANGED, UPDATE_SHAPESHIFT_FORM, ACTIONBAR_SLOT_CHANGED, and PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD events for automatic refresh
  • Staggered refresh on login to ensure labels load correctly after all Blizzard UI initialization is complete
  • /kbd slash command to force manual refresh
  • /kbd debug slash command for diagnostics
  • TBC Classic (2.5.x) only — does not use any retail-only APIs
