After returning to EQ after a 12 year hiatus, I like the tabs on the chat windows. Less clutter. Now with all the AA's, item clickies, and macros....I was wondering if there was a way to put an option in the options menu to activate hot bar tabs. With tabs on the HOT bars, it would be much easier to configure the Hot bars. Just wondering.
We already have 10 pages per hotbar that you can hotkey/click through. Tabs would look visually horrendous and be redundant.
I disagree, with respect. With tabs, I can just one click go to a hotbar which has the button I need to click to complete an action...for example... 1st tab would be one I use when grouping 2nd tab would be one where I would be raiding 3rd tab item clickies 4th tab mundane routine stuff (such as skill ups, trade skills, abilities, skills...etc) 5th tab AA abilities for group 6th tab AA abilities for raids or whatever you want to label them as. Clcicking through four or five hot bars for what you need seems hard. Just do the same thing for the HOT bars that they did for the chat window would greatly enhance the game I think.
So assign your ctrl-1 .. 9 to switch your hotbar pages. What you are asking for can already be done, in fact I do it. ctrl1 first page on all hotbars ctrl2 melee spam page (only switches my hotbar containing spam buttons) ctrl3 buffing page on hotbars ctrl4 port clicky page Stop using the bloody mouse you are handicapping yourself.
