IMPORTANT 1.9 WOW CLIENT INFO

When the 1.9 WoW client patch goes live, the ability to save key bindings
on a per character basis will be part of the default UI. As such this mod
is now obsolete. However, in order to make sure your existing binding sets
get saved using the new default UI method, it will be necessary to login
each character with a saved set once. You'll probably want to open the key
binding interface to make sure your saved sets get loaded properly and the
checkbox for "Character Specific Key Bindings" is checked. Once you have
logged in each character once, you can safely uninstall this mod by
deleting the PerCharBinding folder from your Addons folder.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description

This is a simple addon whose only job is to make it so that key and mouse
bindings are a per character setting instead of the Blizzard default of
per account. The intended audience is anyone who plays multiple characters
from the same account and wants to use different key bindings depending on
which character they play. No configuration is required. Saving and loading
the binding profiles happens automatically when you switch characters.

The base functionality provided is very similar to Tale/Bima's ClassBinding
addon which I personally used for a long time before it became unstable
with the 1.5 WoW patch. It appears Bima has either been too busy to fix it
or was never able to reproduce the problem. So I decided to re-write the
functionality I used from scratch.

Note to ClassBinding users:
I have included a command to import your old per-character ClassBinding sets.
If you want to import those settings, DON'T DELETE the ClassBinding addon
until you're done with these instructions.
- Make sure both PerCharBinding and ClassBinding are installed and enabled.
- Login with any character and type the command "/pcb import"
- You should see a list of profiles that were imported from ClassBinding.
- If all the profiles were imported successfully, you can logout and delete
the ClassBinding addon.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known Issues

* The import command currently only imports character-specific binding sets
from ClassBinding. If there is enough demand, I will add support for
importing class sets as well. If you plan on waiting for this support,
don't delete the ClassBinding addon because it will delete your old
settings as well. Instead, just leave it disabled.
There is no dependency information for this file.
1.1.5
* Pre-updated for 1.9 patch. This will be the last update because the
functionality will be built-in to the default UI.
* Added code to check which version of the client is running and use the
appropriate API calls in order to be compatible with both 1.8 and 1.9
clients.

The 1.9 compatible version is up. Assuming no further API changes happen between now and when the patch goes live, this should be the last update.

It looks like Blizzard finally incorporated this concept into the default UI for 1.9. I will be releasing a compatible version for 1.9 so that people can load their currently saved binding sets into their characters using the new default method. However, development will likely stop after that because the functionality will be obsolete.

Currently, there's a bug on the test realm with the SaveBindings() API command causing a #132 client crash. So if you're playing on the test server, you'll want to disable PerCharBinding until they fix that.

Yes, it works with macros the same way that normal key bindings work with macros. You create a macro and drag it to an action bar and then you can bind a key to that action bar button to fire your macro.
