Noob trying keybinding! Please help!

Guys, I'm trying to make a key binding, but seems I'm missing something.

Can someone please take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I have the following files:

"ChangeHorse.txt"

Code:

## Title: Change Horse
## APIVersion: 100007
ChangeHorse.lua
Bindings/Bindings.lua
Bindings/Bindings.xml

"ChangeHorse.lua"

Code:

function ChangeHorseToSlot(StableSlot)
	SetActiveMount(StableSlot)
end

"Bindings/Bindings.lua"

Code:

ZO_CreateStringId("SI_BINDING_NAME_CHANGE_HORSE", "|cAA0000CHANGE HORSE|r")
ZO_CreateStringId("SI_BINDING_NAME_CHANGE_ANOTHER_HORSE", "CHANGE HORSE 2")

"Bindings/Bindings.xml"

Code:

<Bindings>
  <Layer name="SI_KEYBINDINGS_LAYER_GENERAL">
	<Category name="|cAA0000ChangeHorse|r Addon">
		<Action name="CHANGE_HORSE">
			<Down>ChangeHorseToSlot(1)</Down>
		</Action>
		<Action name="CHANGE_ANOTHER_HORSE">
			<Down>ChangeHorseToSlot(2)</Down>
		</Action>
	</Category>
  </Layer>
</Bindings>

SetActiveMount() might only work if you have a Stables window open, just like sending mail only works if you have the mailbox window open. Try it and see.

Hehe, no, I mean, why I can't see the "CHANGE HORSE" and "CHANGE HORSE 2" in the "Controls" section to be able to add a hotkey to them?

The function itself could be anything else, what I mean is that I'm unable to make it show up in the controls section to add a hotkey to it... XD

Thank you!

OH! Of course.

You can display them in the keybind strip at the bottom of the screen when you're in a UI window. http://wiki.esoui.com/How_to_add_but..._keybind_strip shows you how to add buttons. The only other thing you need is to figure out WHEN to add them; the keybind strip isn't always displayed.

The other option is to make your own place to display the keybindings. http://www.esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?t=820 is the place to look for that.

I believe the OP is saying that they're not showing up in the keybindings window at all.

Have you tried removing the color-coding from your category name in bindings.xml?
-or-
Have you tried naming the file bindings.xml instead of Bindings.xml?
