Command Panel

Command panel is such a great addition, it would be really nice to have it stay on after teleporting.

Or is there an option already and I am just not seeing it?

Many people seem excited for it.

But to me personally, I'd rather keep it there like hotbars otherwise it's not useful.

I want to try and use it, any tips what I should place there?

it could be useful if you need a place to put a lot of stuff you use only once in a while, so you don't want to create keybinds for all of them but also don't want their icons on your screen all the time. if I hadn't already bound a bunch of shift/ctrl + letter keys to switch jobs I'd definitely use this to switch jobs for example.
I guess it could also be useful for crafting macros, emotes, perhaps miscellaneous other text macros

Thanks for the tips, I will use it for emotes and macros.

I used macros to organize all my gear sets on hotbars that I could toggle on and off, so the panel freed up 5 bars and 5 slots that the macros occupied. I realize that I made it needlessly bloated, but space saved is space saved.

I like it, at least as a start. I had some macros and so forth to do something similar, but I'm happy to clean that out as I never was fond of maintaining it. I have a tab for combat job switching, one for doh/dol, one for utilities, and one for my most used crafting macros.

On my wishlist of changes we'll never see: Make smaller or, better yet, resizeable. Make changing the tab icons less janky, holy moly! And, make each tab have its own open/close option. Like, job switching tab I want to auto close, but crafting macro tab I do not. And yeah, I realize that's on me for treating it like a hot bar.

I use it to put all my job sets in there, so it takes a single slot on a hotbar that I click and it expands all my job sets to click on. That it can close immediately after on its own is good for this type of use.

On controller, the Command Panel defaults to the center tile every time you open it, which is kind of pesky. Otherwise I'm using it for job changes, emotes, and food and it's been working well so far.

It's extremely useful for crafting macros.

I am enjoying it a lot but I'd like a way to have it permanently open, it always closes any time you change maps or instances, when I want to have it permanently visible on a spot somewhere on my screen, with the option to close it when I want.

Agree, and I would also like a way to lock the buttons. They do not lock with the hotbar button lock, and I've accidentally dragged some when clicking too fast.

There's an option in the Command Panel settings for "disable dragging within command panel".

Still waiting on a tackle box to get all the fishing lures out of my main inventory. The very thing they said they couldn't do that oddly resembles this very panel...

Yoshi-P and hypocrisy...

Okay not to say that a tackle box shouldn't happen, but you are comparing apples and oranges here, Command Panel is essentially 4 extra length-yet-compact dedicated hotbars, a tackle box would be an additional form of item storage, you are focusing on the aesthetic of the function, and not on the actual behavior.

I’ve been greatly enjoying the Command Panel. I’m still a Sprout but it’s been helping me maintain my different Class/Jobs. I also use it for switching mounts that I use for different costume sets but same Job.
