WoW API < GetBinding

Returns the command name and all keys currently bound to the command specified by index. This would generally be used in conjunction with GetNumBindings() to loop through and set/get all of the key bindings available.


Arguments
(Int index)
index
A value from 1 to X where X is the number returned from GetNumBindings()

Returns
command, key1, key2, ..., keyN
command
(string) The name of the command the keys are bound to (e.g. MOVEFORWARD, TOGGLEFRIENDSTAB). Used in GetBindingKey("command") among other things.
key1-N
(string) The string representation of the key bound to this command (e.g. W, CTRL-F). Even though the default key binding GUI window only displays 2 possible keys bound to each command, it appears there is no limit to the number of keys that can be bound to a single command. This function will return as many keys as have been set with SetBinding("key"{,"command"}).

Example
command, key1, key2 = GetBinding(5);
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(command.." has the following keys bound:",1.0,1.0,1.0);
if (key1) then DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(key1,1.0,1.0,1.0); end
if (key2) then DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(key2,1.0,1.0,1.0); end

Notes

It may also be helpful to use the select function to return a table of all the values. See the select page example of the Catenation function.
