GamePadActionBars

A lightweight mod that grants efficient access to 65 different bindings by mapping gamepad shoulder inputs to action bar swaps and intuitively reorganizing the main action bar.

How does it work?

The mod sets up temporary bindings using a secure button frame that captures the shoulder trigger (PADLTRIGGER/PADRTRIGGER) inputs. The driver can be in one of 5 states:

1. no trigger held
2. only PADLTRIGGER held
3. only PADRTRIGGER held
4. PADRTRIGGER then PADLTRIGGER
5. PADLTRIGGER then PADRTRIGGER

These states map to their corresponding action bar page in the World of Warcraft UI, along with a set of predefined bindings that are outlined in the table below.
