Slash commands
Reference2 min readUpdated
Every /polestar command and its help line, from the addon’s command registry.
On this page
Polestar's slash commands, as the addon registers them, with the help line /polestar help prints for each. /pole works wherever /polestar does, and /polestar on its own shows or hides the guide windowThe small window that shows the current step and its goals while playing (UI/GuideFrame.lua).. With the gamepad interface on, the game's chat box cannot run addon commands safely, so Polestar registers none: the key bindings and the minimap button open everything instead.
