I have a custom popmenu I made, bound to Tilde in my default keybinds.txt file. It's named Monitor, and originally, I only used it to monitor the 10 Combat Attributes I prefer to watch.

Now, however, I've modified it to set up my Combat Monitor, and then, based on faction (Hero, Villain, or Praetorian), I load the proper Window, Chat, and Option settings, and finally load my custom keybinds file I made for the character.

When I'm doing the Combat Monitor, I have 10 specific things I load, so in the popmenu, they're set to keys 1-0, in the order I want them. The link for each item I monitor ends with $$popmenu Monitor so that the menu instantly pops back up. All I have to do is press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and all 10 items are there.

The Settings are in sub-menus, with H, V, and P set as accelerators. So, if I'm playing a Hero, I press H, and the next level of the menu shows up, where I can then press W to load my Window Settings. Sadly, I've had issues with attempting to add $$ popmenu Monitor to the end of the Options stuff. My chat input becomes active, and my keys stop responding. So, I have to press ~ and then H, V, or P two more times to get the other two settings (Chat and Options). It's not really a bother.

Finally, since I have yet to find a way to load a custom bindfile using the $name string, I have it do this:

Option "&Load Binds" "beginchat /bindloadfile C:\Binds\.txt"

That places the text /bindloadfile C:\Binds\.txt into my chat area, and then I press the left arrow key 4 times to move it between \ and . where I then type the name of the character I'm loading the binds for.

Popmenu is friggin' awesome.

HUZZAH!

Those are my favorite two parts of this patch!

Maybe. But, as I said, I have no proof that this is actually what's happening, or that Mr. Bruce is even working there.

He said as much on his blog. If I can find it again, I'll post the link for reference...
