# WoW UI Configuration Pack
This repository contains my personal **World of Warcraft UI configurations**, profiles, and layout exports.
The goal of this repo is to:
- Keep UI profiles version-controlled
- Make rebuilding a UI fast after patches / fresh installs
- Share or migrate configs across machines
All addon profiles, exports, and notes live inside their **respective addon folders**.

- Configuration notes

## ⌨️ Keybind Layout Method
This UI follows a **consistent, role-agnostic keybind philosophy** designed for:
- Minimal hand movement
- High uptime
- Easy muscle-memory transfer between characters
### Keyboard Binds (Core)
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `14` | Core rotation / builders / spenders |
| `Q / E / R` | High-use cooldowns or rotational modifiers |
| `F` | Lust-type ability (Bloodlust / Heroism / Drums) |
| `Z / X / C / V` | Major cooldowns / utility |
| `` ` `` | Extra Action Button (always bound) |
These bindings are used across **DPS and Tank specs** wherever possible.

## 🖱️ MMO Mouse Button Mapping
The MMO mouse is a **Corsair Scimitar Elite**, with buttons mapped in iCUE to **NumPad keys** for consistency across all characters.
### Base Layer (No Modifier)
| Mouse Button | iCUE Output | Assigned Role |
|-------------|------------|---------------|
| Mouse 1 | NumPad 1 |
| Mouse 2 | NumPad 2 |
| Mouse 3 | NumPad 3 |
| Mouse 4 | NumPad 4 |
| Mouse 5 | NumPad 5 |
| Mouse 6 | NumPad 6 |
| Mouse 7 | NumPad 7 |
| Mouse 8 | NumPad 8 |
| Mouse 9 | NumPad 9 |
| Mouse 10 | NumPad / |
| Mouse 11 | NumPad * |
| Mouse 12 | NumPad - |

### MMO Mouse (Corsair Scimitar Base Layer)
Mouse buttons are mapped to **NumPad keys** in iCUE and used consistently in-game.
| Mouse Button | Role |
|---|---|
| Mouse 1 | Interrupt |
| Mouse 2 | Stun |
| Mouse 3 | Crowd Control |
| Mouse 4 | Mobility |
| Mouse 5 | Defensive |
| Mouse 6 | External / Self-heal |
| Mouse 7 | Trinket / Offensive Utility |
| Mouse 8 | Taunt (all tanks fixed position) |
| Mouse 912 | Spec-specific abilities |
---
### Modifier Philosophy
- **Alt is the only modifier used**
- No Shift / Ctrl bindings
- Alt layer is reserved for:
- Utility
- Dispel / Purge
- Buffs
- Non-rotational actions
This keeps bindings predictable and avoids finger gymnastics.

## 🩺 Clique: Mouseover & Healing Workflow
All **friendly-target spell casting** (especially healing) is handled via **Clique**.
### Why Clique is used
- No mouseover macros required
- Clean separation between damage binds and healing binds
- Faster reaction time in group content
- Consistent behavior across all healer specs
- Plan to switch to Cell once it is released and did not want to reconfigure this even know DandersFrames has binding built-in as well
### General Rules
- **Left / Right / Middle click** are primary healing spells
- **Alt-modified clicks** are secondary or AoE heals
- **Shift is avoided** to prevent conflicts
### Notes
- Clique is used for **all healer specializations**
- Damage abilities remain on keyboard / mouse binds
- Friendly dispels, externals, and emergency buttons are typically Clique-bound
Addon-specific Clique bindings (if applicable) are documented inside that addons folder.
