WoW:API GetBindingText

GetBindingText

Returns the (localized?) string value for the given key and prefix. Essentially a glorified getglobal() function.

---

Arguments

(String key, String prefix)

key

The name of the key (e.g. UP, SHIFT-PAGEDOWN)

prefix

The prefix of the variable name you're looking for. Usually "KEY_" or "BINDING_NAME_".

---

Returns

value

value

(string) The (localized?) value of the global variable composed of the prefix and key name you specified. For example, "UP" and "KEY_" would return the value of the global variable KEY_UP which is "Up Arrow" in the english locale. If the global variable doesn't exist for the combination specified, it appears to just return the key name you specified.

---

Example

val = GetBindingText("UP", "KEY_");
-- val is "Up Arrow"
