I'm very grateful for Cosmos and all the work that has gone into it, but there is one thing I think really needs to change. There needs to be some easy way to delete/change keybindings without having to manually edit the wtf file.

um.. blizzard has had a default bindings menu since alpha or BetterKeyBinding if you are so inspired. Check the cosmos button menu.

My experience is that once you set the keybindings the only way to change them is to manually edit the wtf file... This is for better keybindings, Blizzard's keybindings can be changed.

I think what you are referring to is the fact that BetterKeyBindings won't let you bind a key to an action if it is already bound to another action. Blizzard's key bindings dialog lets you rebind keys that are already bound and prints a warning in the text box at the bottom. (I don't like this because if I accidentally bind a key that I want bound to something else, I have to search back through the list to find it. It's especially annoying if I don't know what group heading it's under.)
Another thing:
Blizzard's key bindings dialog has an "Unbind Key" button. Why isn't there one in BetterKeyBindings?

Nothing "needs" to change. It would be nice if it could be changed. I was a bit frustrated after spending several hours trying to sort out my keybindings so my wording was a bit strong considering I haven't payed anyone for the work they've done on Cosmos... 8)

Not sure whats going on with your problem, I can change my keybindings however I want with the blizzard Keybinding, I'll have to admit I haven't used better key bindings yet.

Any word on whether this will be implemented soon?

The whole reason I wrote BKB is because I didn't like accidently rebinding a key and then having to search for the previous binding to fix it back. With BKB when you attempt to bind to a previously bound key you'll get an error messaage AND the "CONFIRM" button will be enabled. If you click the confirm button then the old defintion will be overridden. See? You have a choice. ;-)
I'll have to go back and see how Blizzard implemented the "Unbind" button and add it to BKB. Thanks for the feedback. ;_0

The problem is that u cannot DELETE a binding. You can only set the binding as something else instead.

Ok, I've plagerized WoW's code and now BKB has an "UnBind" button. Should be out in the next Alpha.
Any other feature requests? ;-)

Ya, I want my pop bars back... :P
(and thank you really :) )

Thank you. I have missed that feature for a long time. :)
Since you ask for other features... Key-bindings per character would be very, very nice. It really should have been done that way by Blizzard in the first place. However, I fear this is a bit beyond the scope of BetterKeyBindings to implement that.

undinging is easy... bind "" as key :)
There's an addon on curse-gaming called 'percharbinding' that I use. It would be cool if that was added to cosmos.
Also it'd be even better if percharbinding set only keys that refer to hotbar actions (including the special bar, such as stances or forms) - My movement keys and others are standard, but my hotkeys change (i.e. my warrior uses e for defensive stance, but my warlock wants to use e for pet attack). But thats better for the cursegaming percharbinding comments I guess ;)
I'll find the link to it when I get home.
Edit: Found it http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=1819
Just another suggestion. It seems to me that key-bindings, at least conceptually, would fit well into the new Khaos strategy of having named configuration sets that can be shared by some or all of your characters. This would be even more general than per-character key-bindings.
