1] Alignment options for the new iteration of Clickbars / Menus:
- HorizontalAlign=<left, right, center>
VerticalAlign=<top, bottom, middle>
The template author could include a fully functional clickable menu as the primary method of hotkeying Actions without having to account for the end user's particular keyboard or monitor resolution. The Menu can be aligned to "center, middle;" "left, middle;" or whatever such that the Menu appears in a consistent, predictable position regardless of whatever Window Layout the end user has. In this manner, the Menu will function "off the shelf." The end user can drag or remap it without the template author having to include a guide or answer questions on how to remap hotkeys, make custom menus, or find and reposition the Menu should the starting location be outside the end user's screen coordinates.
IMPLEMENTATION: I envision this as a hybrid of the "Starting Position" using radio buttons and drop-down selectors.
Personally, I receive a lot of questions about my EQ guide, "How do I use it without a G15" and from my videos about my HUD menu. Both are already "templatized," but I could do a lot more with it if I didn't have to account for Hotkeys and Window Layouts.

The following two requests I can go into a tremendous amount of detail if necessary, but I don't want to cloud the issue right off the bat. These two requests are intertwined.
REQUEST:
2] On the "CHARACTER" General tab add a global "When I switch to this Character ... Do this Mapped Key." This partially exists; however, it is tied to the CHARACTER SET SLOT.
3] On the specific SLOT of the CHARACTER SET, add a "Virtual Mapped Keys" tab. This partially exists; however, it is tied to the entire CHARACTER SET
USAGE: Generally speaking, this would allow for great control over Video FX and Virtualization templates when swapping Slots. For example:
On the individual CHARACTER:
Virtualize "CHARACTER TEMPLATE" Key map is now "ARORA" Key Map
When I switch to this CHARACTER (Arora, regardless of what Slot she's in) Do Mapped Key "ACTIVATE ME" in "CHARACTER TEMPLATE" Key Map
On the CHARACTER SET SLOT:
Virtualize "SLOT TEMPLATE" Key Map is now "SLOT <X>" Key Map
When I switch to this SLOT (regardless of what Character is there) Do Mapped Key "FOCUS ME" In "SLOT TEMPLATE" Key Map.
Thanks.
