About SetConsoleKey
This addon is used to remember your SetConsoleKey keybinding when using wow in -console mode. By design, the client will not remember your console keybind and I find myself annoyed with having to reset it every time I restart the game. This simple addon hooks the SetConsoleKey function so it can save your last console keybind and then loads it on startup.
Note: Due to the way addons are loaded, this addon can only set your console key after you have selected a character. Prior to selecting a character (that loads this addon) The console key will remain bound to the default tilde key.
I did not include any command line scripts as I did not feel they were necessary. Since this hooks the SetConsoleKey function itself, you simply set the key the normal way i.e. /script SetConsoleKey("KEYTOBIND");
If you are unfamiliar with console mode and/or the usage of this function visit: http:www.wowpedia.org/API_SetConsoleKey

Feature request: to enable/disable/toggle the console so we still have our settings and can play the game without debugging for awhile. Add /run SetConsoleKey("on"), /run SetConsoleKey("off"), or a minimap button? For example, it seems to disable the console with any invalid shift key like tilde, or enable to restore the saved variable, SCK_DATA.
Test with the code below. Enabled if key is like "F7". Disabled if tilde in front of key like "~F7". In the future, the code could be much simpler if SCK_DATA was a table = {} and not just a value.
function SetConsoleKey(...)
local newkey = ... or ""
local disabledkey = "~" -- key to disable console, e.g. tilde = Shift-`
local lastdisabled = ( strsub(SCK_DATA,1,1) == disabledkey ) -- disabled if tilde in front of key
local lastkey = string.gsub(SCK_DATA, "("..disabledkey..")", "") -- key without tilde
if ( strlower(newkey) == "toggle" ) then -- /run SetConsoleKey("toggle")
if ( lastdisabled and strlen(lastkey) > 0 ) then newkey = "on"
else newkey = "off"
end
end
-- enable console and restore old key without tilde
if ( strlower(newkey) == "on" ) then -- /run SetConsoleKey("on")
SCK_DATA = lastkey;
print("SetConsoleKey:", SCK_DATA);
BlizSetConsoleKey(SCK_DATA);
-- disable console with tilde in front of key
elseif ( strlower(newkey) == "off" ) then -- /run SetConsoleKey("off")
SCK_DATA = disabledkey..lastkey;
print("SetConsoleKey:", "off");
BlizSetConsoleKey(SCK_DATA);
-- set new key
else -- /run SetConsoleKey(...)
SCK_DATA = newkey;
print("SetConsoleKey:", SCK_DATA);
BlizSetConsoleKey(SCK_DATA);
end
P.S. Interesting how Blizz defines the default as a tilde-key, when it is really a reverse quote. Tilde is Shift-` and shifting is invalid. Probably preferring tilde since easier to say and see.
