Arrow keys, the action bar and targeting

[Efrye]

Oh, that seems to work indeed. Switching the action bar to always visible and removing "arrow up/down" from whatever it's bound to in the keyboard config lets me switch at any time. Visually not too pleasing to have the bar displayed all the time, but it's a start.

Thanks for the help ~

edit: Err, actually, that doesn't seem to work at all. I guess I had something targeted without noticing.
I can press up/down all I want - if I don't target and lock on to something, the bar won't move an inch.

I figured just now....

First hit ESC all the way out of everything and don't target anything.
Then use command "/actionbar on" and the action bar pops up.
When it pops up, your cursor will always highlight something in the action bar, thus you can arrow key up or down to change between action bars all right.

BUT if you move your mouse or cursor, or hit TAB key, or maybe something else too, the highlight goes away from actionbar, and now you can't do anything with it anymore =_=;;

But you can still point at any action bar button and click on it, that will again select the action bar and allow you to use arrow key to go up and down on action bars again.

I think they should add an option to make the toggle between target types (friendly, party, enemy, all) and the toggle between action bars easier. Now it's a bit hard yeah. (But I got used to it and now can manipulate both thing with ease.)
