Description

If the ActionButtonUseKeyDown CVar setting is enabled (as it is by default for newer players) then actions placed on action bars 1–5 will be activated as soon as their bound key is pressed (key down) rather than released (key up). Action bars 6–8 (added by this addon) do not respect this setting, and instead always activate on release (key up) regardless of the value of ActionButtonUseKeyDown.

• WoW Classic: 1.15.6.58844

Additional Context

Although the ActionButtonUseKeyDown CVar cannot be changed through the options menu without addons, it is enabled by default, causing the action bars added by this addon to behave differently than standard action bars.

Hey,
I did investigate a bit, and its a known issue after Blizzard changed someting with the default actionbuttons. While testing I found a way to set the behaviour for the custom actionbuttons; I could add some configuration for it, even different for each bar, but another possibility would be some kind of hook to change it depending on the global setting - what would you prefer?

Making the bars conform to the global UI setting would probably have the best UX because they would behave as users (like me) expect them to. Of course, if you think allowing customization here would be worth it then by all means add your own setting instead.

Fixed with cebad9e.
I might add an option to the menu, but so far nobody has asked for that, so for now I'll just use the CVar.
