QuaziiUI Action Bar Lock - Pickup Modifier Fix

Fixes the "Lock Action Buttons" setting to respect user's preferred drag modifier instead of blocking all dragging.

---

Issue

When "Lock Action Buttons" is enabled, SetModifiedClick('PICKUPACTION', 'NONE') completely blocks ALL ability dragging, overriding the user's WoW setting for "Pick Up Action Key" (Game Options → Action Bars).

---

Option A: Simple Removal

Use WoW's native setting - just remove the SetModifiedClick calls and let WoW handle the modifier.

1. Replace ApplyButtonLock Function

File: utils/qui_actionbars.lua (lines 704-723)

Replace the entire ApplyButtonLock function with:

local function ApplyButtonLock()
    local settings = GetGlobalSettings()
    if not settings then return end

    local locked = settings.lockButtons or false

    -- Use Blizzard's native CVar - user's "Pick Up Action Key" setting handles the modifier
    SetCVar('lockActionBars', locked and 1 or 0)
    LOCK_ACTIONBAR = locked and '1' or '0'
end

Summary (Option A)

Aspect	Implementation
Change	Remove SetModifiedClick calls
Modifier Config	WoW's Game Options → Action Bars
Files Changed	1 (qui_actionbars.lua)

---

Option B: Add Dropdown Setting

Add a dropdown in QuaziiUI so users can choose their pickup modifier directly.

1. Add Default Setting

File: utils/quicore_main.lua (around line 853, after lockButtons)

lockButtons = false,        -- Prevent dragging abilities off buttons
pickupModifier = "SHIFT",   -- Modifier key for dragging (SHIFT, CTRL, ALT, NONE)

---

2. Update ApplyButtonLock Function

File: utils/qui_actionbars.lua (lines 704-723)

local function ApplyButtonLock()
    local settings = GetGlobalSettings()
    if not settings then return end

    local locked = settings.lockButtons or false

    SetCVar('lockActionBars', locked and 1 or 0)
    LOCK_ACTIONBAR = locked and '1' or '0'

    -- Apply pickup modifier setting (only when locked)
    if locked then
        local modifier = settings.pickupModifier or "SHIFT"
        SetModifiedClick('PICKUPACTION', modifier)
    else
        SetModifiedClick('PICKUPACTION', 'SHIFT')
    end
end

---

3. Add Dropdown in Options Panel

File: utils/qui_options.lua (after line 6725, after the lockCheck)

-- Pickup modifier dropdown (add after lockCheck)
local pickupModifierOptions = {
    {value = "SHIFT", text = "Shift (Default)"},
    {value = "CTRL", text = "Ctrl"},
    {value = "ALT", text = "Alt"},
    {value = "NONE", text = "None (Complete Block)"},
}
local pickupDropdown = GUI:CreateFormDropdown(tabContent, "Pickup Modifier (when locked)",
    pickupModifierOptions, "pickupModifier", global, RefreshActionBars)
pickupDropdown:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", PAD, y)
pickupDropdown:SetPoint("RIGHT", tabContent, "RIGHT", -PAD, 0)
y = y - FORM_ROW

---

Summary (Option B)

Aspect	Implementation
Setting	pickupModifier in global settings
Options	Shift, Ctrl, Alt, None
Files Changed	3 (quicore_main.lua, qui_actionbars.lua, qui_options.lua)

Users get a dropdown under "Lock Action Buttons" to choose Shift/Ctrl/Alt/None for dragging abilities when locked.
