Learning Aid is for all those times when you've just leveled up, retalented, or learned a new trade skill and you've had to page through your spellbook looking for all those new icons. When you learn a new ability or tradeskill, Learning Aid pops up a window with the new ability icon in it, ready to be dragged to your Action Bar.

Directions

1. Learn a new ability!
2. Drag it to your action bar!
3. Click the close box to dismiss the window!

You can also shift-click an ability button to create a chat link, just like from the spellbook.

Learning Aid also filters the annoying yellow chat spam you get when swapping talent specs, resetting your talents or learning several talents at once.

Options

Right-click on the window's title to lock the window so it does not move. Learning Aid has a configuration panel in the Interface Options window.

Compatibility

Learning Aid is not compatible with WoW 5.0.4 yet, I am hard at work updating it. I apologize for not getting a new version ready in time for the patch.

Latest Changes

v1.11.2
Fixed the stack overflow bug.

v1.11.1
Compatible with WoW 4.1.0, improvements to the ignore list, fixed the guild perk issue.

  Hi @ all,

  it would be nice if somebody could have a look at the French localization, or whatever language is not done yet, like Spanish, Russian or Chinese:

  http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/learningaid/localization/

  This is just sort of a reminder to all the people coming around ;)

  Greetings to everybody and have a nice day!

  crzykidd: If you type "/la macros on" (without the quotes) or go to the Learning Aid configuration panel and enable the corresponding checkbox, then the missing ability search will look inside macros for abilities.  However, it will only find them if they are on a standard (Blizzard ID based) action bar or a Macaroon action bar.  Are you using a different action bar / macro AddOn?

  Thanks that fixed it. I just converted to doing a ton of mouse over macros for my healer. What should /macros do? When I do search it shows spells that exist in a macro, and if I do /macros nothing seems to happen.

  BTW really like the columns change thanks for doing that.

  There was a bug in version 1.10 Beta 1. I just uploaded 1.10 Beta 1a which should fix the issue.

  @crzykidd: Yeah, I can do that. In the meantime, try out the "Ignore Ability" feature new in 1.09. That should help reduce the number of abilities that show up when you use the missing ability search.

  edit: OK, version 1.10 Beta 1 is up, which adds multiple column support. Try it out, see if it works.

  Is there anyway to make this display as 2 colums vs the one? It doesn't pick up items contained in AutoBar, so I tend to have a number of items that don't have a button. On my lvl 80 toons it scrolls off the bottom of the screen. The ability to have 2 or 3 columns would improve this a lot.

  Thanks,

  Hi Jamash, I'm working on it right now and will be finished soon.

  Greetings, Freydis

  EDIT: OK, done. Please let me know in case you need some more translation. :)

  Hi Fredyis88, if you would like to help translate Learning Aid then I would very much appreciate it! I just activated localization and uploaded a few basic phrases. I will add the rest of the text from the configuration page to the localization system over the next few days.

  Thanks, Jamash
