Some German and French customers are having troubles with keybinds for both Addon settings and, at times, normal game settings. This was reported to me first as an Addon issue but after working with several French and German players it has been determined that the people who have this issue occasionally have the same issue with standard game keybinds as well, and other addons from other developers.
This may have something to do with the drivers they are using on their end but it was occurring with such simple keys as: C
Since this is found most often with addons it is being reported to me as an issue with mine. There is nothing I can do about it from inside the addon, as the same code runs for all versions of the game client and the keybind settings are exceedingly simple. The game also allows them to SET the keybind successfully. The error is that the keys seem to do nothing when triggered inside the game UI after being set.
For example: A user would set C to open the Macro window in Wykkyd's Framework. The game settings for keybinds let them set the keybind just fine. Then they go back to the standard game interface and hit C and nothing at all happens. No window, no error, no feedback whatsoever. They go to the controls section again and it's still set to C. They set a game setting like Jump to C instead and A: they don't get prompted that it's going to replace the addon's keybind, and B: it won't always make them Jump either.
This is not an issue with the English game client. I attempted to shift my client into German to test for myself and the game client choked on patching and needing to repair itself and I finally had to reinstall it to get back to English.

Im sure so u can fix this.0 -
sdande✭Cmon devs atleast tell us that you are working on this.
You have every information you need in the first post.
It cant be that difficult to get some keybinds right...
For me this is a gamebreaking bug as it happens to me not only in addon keybind but also in usual game-keybinds... So pls would you pls finaly fix this problem or is there no interest in making your german/french customers happy? thanks in advance.
and wykkyd thx for your commitment on this topic!Edited by sdande on April 9, 2014 3:04AM0 -
Im sure he is working on a fix. But all that need time. You can not make a perfect addon over night.

Wykkyd✭✭✭✭✭I will have commandline options for the macro window to open tonight. Watch WykkydGaming on twitter for updates on that and notification when it is published. That doesn't, however, fix the real problem. This requires @ZOS response & fix actions.Edited by Wykkyd on April 9, 2014 12:34PMWykkyd Gaming • Mostly Harmless • Website • Twitter

Wykkyd✭✭✭✭✭@ZOS = Zenimax. They have to fix the REAL problem here. That's all I was saying. And as the post mentions, I will have a small workaround ready at some point tonight. I am at my day job right now though, so I can't do it just yet.Wykkyd Gaming • Mostly Harmless • Website • Twitter

Ok, i have testet the new Updated and found 2 errors.
1. If i type /macrowin, the macro window will open and i can right click the macros to edit them. But (i.E.) if i set it to "Skills" or "Gear" i cant choose the skillbar or the gear that i have saved. There is no window to choose that. But the command "/macrowin" works fine.
3. If the Basgrims Toolbar is enabled, there comes an error massage. If i want close that error window, there is a second error window. I have take 2 screenshots for you.
