FAQ
Q: I cannot move/drag my skills on my bars?
A: Hold Shift to move skills safely. You can also unlock your bars in the Bartender4 options, but using Shift is safer and recommended.
Q: How do i access the Configuration?
A: You can open the configuration with the Slash Commands (/bt or /bartender) or through the Bartender4 LDB plugin.
Q: Where are my keybindings? And how do i bind new keys?
A: Bartender4 buttons should automatically inherit keybindings from the Blizzard bars. For new keybindings, you can use KeyBound to re-bind your keys. You can access KeyBound by its slash command (/kb) or through the button in the BT4 config. Hover a button, press key → voila!
Q: Can I skin the buttons beyond the built-in options?
A: Bartender4 allows skinning through Masque! After installing both Bartender4 and Masque, you can customize the BT4 appearance in the Masque options.
Q: How do i disable the snapping of the bars?
A: Currently, you can temporarily override the snapping by holding down the Shift Key while moving your bars, or uncheck the option in the popup when your bars are unlocked.

In reply to imjayc2:
where are you seeing this update?
Edit: my bad, found it
In reply to kingreboot:
Right click on Bartender in your addon installer and choose release type -> Alpha
In reply to Pandora_AU:
Or on the file page, click "View All" (under the current 'Main File' ... beside 'Recent Files' ... way over on the right hand side) the page with the Alpha file will load after you click "View All"
In reply to imjayc2:
I put in a edit in only a few second after I posted about how I found it. Thanks you two for the help, but it was not needed. the issue why I did not see it right away was I was looking at the github location and did not see it there.
Is there a quick for why most of my abilities on the bars are grayed out and I cant use them? Some abilities work fine others dont, even dragged them to different bars. Like shouts, fort, last stand etc.

Check your talents after the changes. Also try and replace the old icons with the new ones from the spellbook.

How do I move the button shown in the screenshot above?
Edit: I can't get it to show here. You can view it by clicking the link.
In reply to metalmight7:
That is the "Extra Action Button" and he removed the ability to move it starting in 4.13.3 with this note:
Taking a frame out of Edit Mode and letting Bartender4 handle it instead is problematic at best, and for the Extra Action Button in particular we don't even do anything to it other then making it movable.
Favoring Edit Mode and avoiding issues with the button not working right seems like the best path forward, even though I was not able to reproduce issues in raids or dungeons myself.
You'll have to use Blizz's built in Edit Mode to move it, just check the box for "Extra Abilities" and you'll see it.
In reply to syeborge:
Okay, thanks very much for the response.
Pet panel is broken. Any hotkeys not working. After last update 18-19 January.
When you press any key assigned on the pet's panel, it visually works, but nothing is pressed, the pet does not respond to any pressing. Everything works fine without the addon.
In reply to ffreestyler:
same here. Manual clicking works, hotkeys don't. Without bartender it does work
edit
In reply to Thalos82:
Sorry for hijacking. Your comment seems to be empty and whenever I try to comment it gives an error:
Whenever I join a dungeon my skillbars change, as if it's paging the wrong bars, showing skill from other bars (I play a druid). I don't know what is causing this, because I did not have this issue before.
In reply to ffreestyler:
+1. Same issue. Only seems to be broken when using modifier keys. So any keybind with Ctrl+ or Alt+ won't work. Does work with single keybinds. Modifier keybinds do work if you carefully click. To get a Ctrl+5 to work on pet bar you must hold Ctrl, hold 5, release Ctrl, release 5.
Guessing it's an issue with the bartender-specific modifier options
In reply to ffreestyler:
Is there a planned fix for this?
