Hello Dears,
simple question, is it possible to edit the default key bindings that ship with the game, and if yes, where?
It`s annoying that whenever I make a new account/try out a new server I have to spend 15mins customising those default binds, so it would save me a lot of time if I could just customise the default bindings into something more suitable to me.

I am not aware of such possibility, but you can copy your game/account/realm settings to whenever you want, as long as you know where are they (to be) stored. In your case, take a look at WTF folder in your WoW folder. There's an Account directory and in your account's folder there, you should have bindings-cache.wtf file there. If you copy that to different account, it should copy your key bind edits as well. More about these kinds of things here.:

I`m aware of that method, unfortunately it doesnt always work. Realistically the default binds /must/ be stored in some .xml file or .dbc or whatever, no? And you should be able to manipulate that. Guess I`ll have to go fishing myself.

This is a kind of thing I'd expect to be hardcoded. But I may be, obviously, wrong.

Seems highly unlikely to me, seeing as every localisation has different default keybindings. I mean, it`s possible that they`re all hardcoded, but yeah.

I found it. In the MPQs (dunno which one, I rebuilt mine client from scratch to completely annihilate the obsoleted files, saves me 4GiB), /WTF/DefaultBindings.WTF.

Ah, great then (y).
