I wanted to follow-up with a bit more input into this thread with some information that you may find helpful. Awhile back, UI developer Slouken had developed an addon called ?MovePad? http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info5476-MovePad.html which would allow people to use the mouse to move around the world with. This is something we are planning to implement as an option in a future content patch. We would also like to encourage everyone to share any additional small script functions or changes that might help make better addons for disabled gamers so that we could look into the feasibility of adding these into the game as well.

anyone use this and have a better explanation as to how this "movepad" works?

use the mouse? you can already do that by holding the two mouse buttons down it'll move you forward then you can just move the mouse to turn.... so what exactl is it that this does for you? is it like a click to move thing where you click on the ground and it moves you there?

If you check out the thread it seems to help disabled folks quite a bit. How? I'm not sure, didn't dig deep enough.

If you follow the link in the OP you'll see that there's not much to the addon itself. It appears to give you 5 clickable buttons, one for each arrow key and one for jump.

Yeah it's just putting a pad on the screen you can click. It is useful as an option for disabled gamers.

It is also useful for macroers...

I suspect the point was that this will only make the problem worse. If you were just being argumentative, my apologies -- carry on.

Click to move would have worked better for the disabled folks.
