PingAltClick
Ping with Alt + Left Click using Blizzard's native ping system — no need to reach for the ping key.
Made for WoW: Forever. No configuration needed: install and play.
🤖 This addon was entirely vibe-coded with Claude Code. It works and has been tested in-game, but keep that in mind.
Features
| Where | Alt + quick click | Alt + hold click |
|---|---|---|
| World (units, objects, ground) | Contextual ping | Radial wheel (Attack, Warning, On My Way, Assist) |
| Unit frames (player, target, focus, party, raid) | Contextual ping ("Health 100%" on the health bar, unit on the portrait) | Radial wheel (out of combat) |
| Action buttons (Blizzard & Bartender4) | Spell / item ping | — |
- Uses the very same system as the game's ping key: same result as pressing it with the cursor in the same spot.
- Your regular ping key keeps working.
- Compatible with Bartender4 and Clique.
Commands
/pingalt— diagnostics. Hover a button or frame and run it to see which element receives the click and the current ping settings.
Limitations
- The addon sets the ping mode to "Key Down" (short press = contextual ping, hold = wheel). This also applies to your regular ping key.
- In combat, Blizzard blocks the trick that opens the radial wheel over unit frames, so there you only get the contextual ping. World and action bars are unaffected.
- Alt + Left Click on an action button pings instead of self-casting. Alt + keybind still self-casts.
- Out of combat, while holding Alt, right-clicking a unit frame won't open its menu.

Haz ping con Alt + clic izquierdo usando el sistema de pings nativo de Blizzard, sin tener que llevar la mano a la tecla de ping.
- Mundo: clic rápido = ping contextual; mantener = rueda radial.
- Marcos de unidad: ping contextual ("Salud 100%" sobre la barra de vida); rueda radial fuera de combate.
- Botones de acción (Blizzard y Bartender4): ping de la habilidad u objeto.
- Compatible con Bartender4 y Clique. Sin configuración.
/pingaltmuestra un diagnóstico del elemento bajo el ratón.
Limitaciones:
- El addon pone el modo de ping en "Mantener tecla", lo que también afecta a tu tecla de ping normal.
- En combate no hay rueda sobre los marcos de unidad, solo ping contextual.
- Alt + clic en un botón de acción hace ping en lugar de lanzar la habilidad sobre ti; Alt + tecla de atajo sigue haciéndolo.
- Fuera de combate, con Alt pulsado, el clic derecho sobre un marco de unidad no abre su menú.
