Shadow Step + Black Dwarf Step on one bind?

Dinged 20 last night and finally got Black Dwarf to add some versatility to my build and [thank god] some variety to my playstyle. It's been hard work living in Nova for 14 levels.

Anyhoo, I have lshift+lbutton bound to Shadow Step when in Human Form and I'd like to use the same bind when in Dwarf form if possible so that I don't have the inevitable brain-lag induced moments where I can't TP.

So, will the following bind activate whichever power is valid in the current form?

/bind lshift+lbutton "powexec_name Shadow Step$$powexec_name Black Dwarf Step"

Not at home at the moment so I can't test it out, would be grateful if someone can confirm. Thanks.

Just bind lctrl+lbutton.

Left Shift : tp in human form.
Left Ctrl : tp in dwarf form.
The two buttons are just under/above each other

Yeah, that's what I'd planned as I don't use the combination for anything else. I just can see me getting confused between the forms though.

Think the bind both powers could work.

Hm..pity it cant be done to bind both tps to one button..but eh I only ever use black dwarf tp in combat (so normal, non bind can suffice) ..for travel its nova or human tp

Far as I can tell, that bind triggers BD Step only.

I have both bound to the same combination through my transformation binds (binds within binds! ), using U to go to Dwarf and H to return to Human, like so:

/bind u "goto_tray 5$$powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$powexec_toggle_on Black Dwarf$$bind lshift+lbutton powexec_name Black Dwarf Step"

/bind h "goto_tray 1$$powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$powexec_toggle_off Black Dwarf$$bind lshift+lbutton powexec_name Shadow Step"

Results in the combo triggering the appropriate teleport, as long as I shift into the form using the particular bind. (the tray switches are there because I have human powers in 1-2-3, Nova powers in 4 and Dwarf powers in 5.) It ain't absolutely perfect (for one thing, if I get planted in form or mezzed out of one, I have to press H to get Shadow Step working again), but it works.

Could just as easily be done as macros, of course, if a button is preferred.

EditReading that through, it seems to me to be a little patronising. Forgive me if it is, it wasn't meant. Not good at putting across a lot of information.)


Character references! Artz! Whatnot!

Actually looking at binding within the macro/bind would have been my next course of action, so that should help a lot. Thanks.

I'm using some bind files to change keybinds when changing human/dwarf forms, as well as having macros for the power tray changes.
