Help with hotbars/keybinds

I have quite a few alts and cant find a way to switch keybinds for each job. Is there no way to do this? Keybinds seem to be universal across all jobs/classes leaving little customization unless im missing something.

If I cant do it through the game is there anyway to do it through say a Logitech G600 gaming mouse. Im just finding this quite frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, you want to (for example), have the F key on your PLD activate a particular hotbar slot, while the F key on your WHM does something completely different, such as opening your inventory?

No, there's no way to do that in-game. Most things you can bind keys to can either be dragged onto hotbars directly (even invisible hotbars if it's stuff you have memorized and don't need/want to see) or put into macros to be placed on hotbars, so that's a possibility for some things. Doesn't cover absolutely everything, though, and it's limited by hotbar limitations.

Gaming devices (like the G600) tend to have a certain number of profiles you can switch around, so that is a possibility, but it wouldn't be automatic; you'd have to use the device software to switch to the right profile every time you switched classes. You could maybe set up a button to switch hardware profiles and fire off a macro to change gearset in one press, but it'd get squirrelly if you press the button in a situation where you can't change gearsets. (Edit: and it also depends on the specific device in question supporting something like that to begin with.)

yup pretty much Bixby- ah well thought id ask. Hopefully SE will allow addon support soon. I know they post poned it. than ill have more choices.

Now I'm curious about putting "standard" actions, like opening inventory, on a hotbar and assigning a key to it.
I have ctrl + z/x/c to mark targets 1-3 by putting those actions on a hidden action bar and keybinding those slots. I have that on a shared bar but it could be a class specific bar.
The actions like opening the inventory have icons you can drag onto hotbars, so there might be something possible.
To be specific, I am suggesting:

1. Activate a new hotbar (one not in use)
2. Mark it not as a shared bar
3. Assign keybinds to the differnt slots
4. Drag actions to the hotbar as desired
5. Swap classes and repeat action assignment
6. Turn off the hotbar from the UI

This could potentially work. However you may want to ensure that the default hotkey is changed so its not conflicting (ie b and f opening inventory)
