Toggle Lock

I would like a way to lock toggles so I don't turn them off by accident when I desperately click everything on my keyboard in the heat of battle.

The idea I had was that if holding Shift and clicking the power icon on the tray it would no longer turn off from a simple key press. It would remain turned on at all time (unless detoggled by normal means of course), until unlocked by once again holding down Shift and clicking the power icon. A detoggled power could be turned back on by pressing a key, only turning off the power would be disabled.

Toggles locked in this manner could be marked with a red circle, like auto-fire powers are marked with a green circle.

That is all.

here's a better idea.

Hit the little plus sign on the power tray to create an external power tray.

Move your toggles into this external power tray.

There, no unless you specifically go into the options and set a keybind for this external power tray, there's no way you can possibly turn your toggles off in the heat of battle

While there are a lot of things I'd like to see "lock-able" (including those arrows,) and don't see anything wrong with the idea itself at first glance, je_saist has a good, immediate solution for you.

See my Guides and Tutorials

Yes, they work. Except I can't turn the toggles back on quickly when they get detoggled, like offensive toggles do when I'm mezzed. But you're right, there is that option. I just wanted to offer a different solution to what I perceive as a problem. It's not something I would expect anyone to work on before we get other more pressing matters sorted out but if it turns out to be 10 minutes of work I figured, why not?

I'm not opposed to the idea. However, re: quickly re-toggling...

for ym toggles which I keep on all the time, I have a bind on the character:
/bind KEY "powexec_toggleon POWERNAME_1$$powexec_toggleon POWERNAME_2$$...powexec_toggleon POWERNAME_N"

Hit KEY a few times (I've generally got it bound to "button5" or else "multiply": next to my right thumb or generally close to my right hand), and your powers will toggle on in the order N, N-1, ..., 2, 1.

Yep. I made an ON macro for some of my characters to turn all toggles back on in the right order, like mez protection first.

I found it incredibly handy - it would be kind of nice if the game had some native support for this.

Put a +$$ in front of the bind and you halve the number of toggels to turn on as it runs on press and on release of the key.

for example:

Code:

Y "+down$$-down$$powexectoggleon rise to the challenge$$powexectoggleon tough$$powexectoggleon weave$$powexectoggleon heightened senses$$powexectoggleon mind over body$$powexectoggleon indomitable will$$powexectoggleon combat jumping"
