Tabs were an option. BUT....

My goal was this.

I wanted popup window where my emotes were always in the same place.
This way I could see all the ones I had available in one quick glance and chose the one I wanted.

The more I use it the faster I get.
It doesn't stay up all the time, in fact it automatically hides after I do the emote.

going through 130+ emotes 10 at a time was impossible to use these things.
Most people memorize a hand full at best, and just type them, or have hot keys set up.
This gives you with one view all the emotes that are available, and they are always in the same spot, so it becomes a memory thing like the spells you ahve in your hot bars.

I specifically didn't want to use tabs.
But that is an idea for others.
The real problem was that the emotes seem to be hardcoded to that Socials window and you can't view more than 10 at at time.
So what I did was hard code these to buttons. Since htat was the only way to see all of them at one time, and do the macros.

Anyway. I'm totally digging this thing, it's very groovy.
