FAQ

Why doesn't the button show up?

Two reasons:

  1. You don't have any quest items in your log. The button hides when there's nothing to fire. Pick up a quest with a usable item and it reappears.
  2. The position drifted off-screen. /wqk reset re-anchors it to the default location.

Run /wqk to print the currently-loaded item list. If the list is empty, that's reason 1.

How does it know which quest items I have?

It calls GetQuestLogSpecialItemInfo for every quest in your log, the same API Blizzard's auto-quest-item button uses. If Blizzard would surface an item, Wick's Quest Key picks it up. No list to maintain, no per-quest config.

Why isn't a particular quest item showing up?

Some quest items are not flagged as "special use" in their quest data, so the API doesn't return them. There's no addon-side fix; that's a Blizzard data issue. If you think it should be flagged, open an issue with the quest name and ID.

How do I cycle to the next item?

Right-click the button. Each right-click advances to the next item in the list without using the current one. The icon updates so you always see what's armed for your next press.

Can I bind cycling to a key?

Currently the cycle action is right-click only. Adding a separate bind for it is a candidate feature; open an issue if you want it.

Does it work in combat?

Yes. The button is a Blizzard secure action button, so it can fire in combat. Cycling between items also works in combat.

Position keeps resetting

Position saves per character. If you have many alts and want a global default, you currently have to set it on each character. A shared-position toggle is a candidate feature.

Is this for Era / Season of Discovery / Retail?

TBC Classic Anniversary only (Interface 20505). Retail already has the ExtraActionButton built in.
