About this addon

What it does

CooldownManagerKeybinds

Cooldown Manager Keybinds displays your action bar keybinds directly on Blizzard’s Cooldown Manager icons, allowing you to quickly see which key activates each ability in the Essential and Utility rows.

The addon mirrors the actual hotkey text from your action buttons, including regular keybinds, modified bindings, mouse bindings, and macro based binds. Key labels are displayed in a compact, readable format such as 1, S3, MWU, and similar.

Cooldown Manager Keybinds works with the default Blizzard action bars and popular bar addons that expose standard hotkey strings on their buttons.

 



Features

  • Displays regular, modified, mouse, and macro keybinds on Cooldown Manager icons
  • Supports both Essential and Utility Cooldown Manager rows
  • Handles Shift, Ctrl, Alt, and mouse button bindings
  • Resolves spells and macros using spell IDs for improved reliability
  • Separate visual settings for Essential and Utility viewers
  • Simple in game configuration panel
  • Support BetterCooldownManager Custom Spells/Items


Configuration

You can open the options panel in either of the following ways:

Type /cmk in chat or via the AddOns menu in game and select Cooldown Manager Keybinds

The options panel is split into two sections:

Essential
Utility
BetterCooldownManager Custom Spells CD
BetterCooldownManager Custom Item CD

Each section controls how keybinds are displayed for that specific Cooldown Manager row, including font family, font size, font colour, anchor point, and offsets.

 



Known Limitations

Shapeshift and stance based specs such as Druids and Rogues use dynamically paged action bars. In some situations, the keybind shown on the Cooldown Manager may reflect a different action bar page than the one currently active.

To avoid incorrect keybind labels, only place abilities on the action bar pages used by that form or stance. For example, do not place Lunar Beam on any bars unless it is used in Bear Form.

This is a Blizzard UI limitation only. Gameplay and bindings are unaffected.
