Learning a class
New to a class, or back after a long break? Your bars are full of buttons you have to look down to find. Keybind Hero shows you the icon and waits for the key, again and again, until you press Kick without hunting for it.
WOW FOREVER ADDON · FREE · MADE BY USKeybind Hero.
Learn your keybinds by playing.
Keybind Hero is our addon for WoW Forever. The abilities on your own action bars fall down the screen, and you press whatever you bound them to before they reach the line. It speeds up every eight hits, and the ones you fumble come back more often.

HOW A RUN WORKS
Icons fall. You press the bind.
Type /kbh and press Play
The game window opens over your screen. Tick the bars you want in play, or leave them all on.
Your abilities start falling
Icons from your own action bars drop down five lanes toward a gold line. No key is printed on them unless you turn on easy mode.
Press the key you bound to it
The right key clears the icon. The earlier you press, the more it scores, and every 10 in a row raises your multiplier, up to x4.
It gets faster
Every 8 hits is a new level. Icons fall faster and arrive closer together.
Three lives
A wrong key or an icon reaching the line costs a life. A missed icon sits on the line for a moment and shows the key you needed.
See what to practise
The game-over screen lists the abilities you keep missing, with their keys. Those come up more often next run.
WHAT IT HELPS WITH
A new class, a new layout, a new alt.
Knowing a bind and pressing it without thinking are different things, and the gap shows up in the middle of a pull. Keybind Hero closes it with repetition, away from combat, where a wrong press costs a life in a minigame and nothing else.
New keybinds
Moved your interrupt to a side button, or rebuilt the whole layout? The old habit hangs around for days. Run a few rounds after every change. Easy mode prints the key on each icon while the layout is fresh, then switch it off to test yourself.
New characters and alts
It reads whatever is on the bars of the character you are logged in on, and each character keeps its own best scores and practice history. The Shaman you rolled last night starts from zero without touching your main.
The buttons you fumble
It keeps track of what you miss. Those abilities fall more often, in the same run and in later ones, so your practice goes where it is needed and the binds you already know stay out of the way.
Modifiers and mouse buttons
Shift-2, Ctrl-E, Alt-F, mouse buttons and the wheel all count. Press the wrong key and it tells you what that key is really bound to, which is a quick way to find a bind you forgot you had.
Something to beat
Best scores are swapped with guild and group members who also run the addon, so there is a leaderboard to climb and someone to nag about their Shift binds.
It will not teach you a rotation. Pair it with the spellbooks and the talent calculator to decide what goes on your bars, then use Keybind Hero to get it into your hands.
YOUR REAL SETUP
Your bars, your binds, your mistakes.
What it reads
- Blizzard's action bars 1 to 8, and the key bound to every slot.
- Modifier binds such as Shift-2 and Ctrl-E, mouse buttons and the mouse wheel.
- A tick box per bar, so you can drill one bar at a time.
Easy mode
- Prints the key on each falling icon, for learning a layout from scratch.
- Keeps its own best score, so it never pads your real one.
- Turn it off once you stop reading the labels.
Leaderboard
- Scores are swapped with guild and group members who have the addon.
- Every score you hear is remembered, along with your own characters.
- Addons cannot reach the internet, so there is no global list.

GOOD TO KNOW
What it does not do.
- While a run is on, the game window takes every key press. Nothing is cast and you cannot move until the run ends or you press Esc.
- A run cannot start in combat, and it stops if combat begins.
- Mouse-button and mouse-wheel binds only count while the cursor is over the game window.
- The pet and stance bars are not read, and neither are bar addons such as Bartender and Dominos.
QUESTIONS
About Keybind Hero.
What is Keybind Hero?
Keybind Hero is a free addon for World of Warcraft: Forever, made by WoWSoD Pro. It is a falling-notes minigame: icons of the abilities on your action bars drop down the screen, and you press the key you have bound to each one before it reaches the line.
Is Keybind Hero free?
Yes. It is a free download on CurseForge. There is nothing to buy and no account to make.
Which version of WoW does it work with?
Version 1.1.0 is built for WoW Forever (interface 16001). It has not been released for Classic Era, Season of Discovery or retail.
Will it cast my spells while I play?
No. While a run is on, the game window takes every key press, so nothing is cast and your character does not move until the run ends or you press Esc. A run cannot start in combat, and it stops if combat begins.
Can it teach me my rotation?
No, and it does not try to. It drills where your buttons are, so that when a guide tells you what to press, your hands already know where it is.
Can I practise one action bar at a time?
Yes. The menu has a tick box for each of your action bars, so you can drill a single bar, or leave out the ones you click.
Does it work with Bartender or Dominos?
No. It reads Blizzard's own action bars 1 to 8 and the keys bound to them. Bar addons such as Bartender and Dominos are not read, and neither are the pet and stance bars.
Is there a global leaderboard?
No. Addons cannot reach the internet, so scores are shared in game with guild and group members who also have Keybind Hero. Your board is everyone you have been online with, plus your own characters.
How do I reset my scores?
Type /kbh reset. It clears the current character's best scores and practice history.
Go and miss your interrupt somewhere safe.
Free on CurseForge. Type /kbh in game to play.
