Wowhead Quick Link
Mouse over and press CTRL-C on (almost) anything to generate a Wowhead or Armory link. Allows you to quickly look up anything on Wowhead without having to manually search for it. Lightweight and efficient.
Supports generating links to the Wowhead page for quests, achievements, items, spells, buffs, NPCs, mounts, battle pets, factions, or currencies by pressing CTRL-C while mousing over, as well as armory links for player characters.
Now also supports Raider.IO links by pressing CTRL-SHIFT-C.
Configuration
The default keybind CTRL-C can be changed in Key Bindings -> AddOns -> Wowhead Quick Link -> Generate Wowhead link.
The link can be customized with a prefix and suffix by typing /wql, to e.g. change to the German version of Wowhead (de.wowhead.com), or go directly to the comments section (wowhead.com#comments).
Suggestions and feedback are welcome!
it looks like if you click an item, achiev, etc in chat and then close the tooltip by any means other than clicking the X (eg: pressing escape or clicking elsewhere) then CTRL-C will continue to copy the link for whatever that was instead of what's under the mouse. it can be fixed by clicking something else from chat and then closing by the X
I can't believe I've never thought to look for an addon like this until today. It's amazing. Such a time saver. Please never abandon this (I would assume it's fairly resistant to breaking, but you never know).
Thank you so much!
I recently started using Krowi's Achievement Filter as a replacement for the outdated Overachiever addon (and the fork of it that was maintained for a short bit), and I immediately noticed that my usual CTRL+C keybind doesn't work in the overhauled achievement interface when using that addon.
The achievement addon does have a right-click menu that can be used to access a wowhead link, but I love the CTRL+C keybind from your addon so much that I felt inclined to submit a request here.
Is this something you'd be able add support for somehow?
EDIT: The CTRL+C keybind *does* work on the summary page of the achievement interface, but does not work when attempting to use it in any of the categories.
In reply to Taizun:
Hello! I've been looking for an Overachiever replacement myself, happy to support this. 2.15.0 was just published and fixes this, thanks!
In reply to vaindil:
Thanks so much!
I just installed the latest version on Retail, but when using the binding I set for Wowhead links all I get in the popup editbox is the text of the keybinding instead of a link to whatever I am hovering over.
In reply to karaste:
Hey there, sorry for the delay! I can't reproduce this on my end. Just to confirm, you mean you see the literal text "Ctrl+C" (or something like that) inside the text box after you press your key binding? Did you rebind away from ctrl+C, and if so, what did you set it to? Does this only happen for certain types of items/spells or is it everything?
In reply to vaindil:
I set the binding to the "L" key for the wowhead link. When I hover over anything and use that keybinding, the dialog pops up and has an "l" in it instead of the actual link
In reply to karaste:
Ah okay, I can definitely reproduce that. It happens because the key binding triggers typing into the edit box, and the edit box's text is highlighted when it pops up to make copying the the link easy.
I'm honestly not sure how to fix this, it may take some time for me to figure out the right way to do it (if it's even possible, though I assume it is). The only workaround I can offer in the meantime is to use CTRL in your keybind, as that avoids the problem. I'll report back when I have a fix!
In reply to vaindil:
Good to know. I assume any modifier would work as well?
Hey, sorry to bother again, this time I got errors when I'm crafting Protoform Synthesis mounts in Zereth Mortis.
It also happened in Professional like Alchemy.
