Changes: Hotkeys

Latest revision as of 06:20, 21 November 2010

Hotkeys are keyboard shortcuts that allow the user to perform various actions in the game without using the mouse.

The following is a partial list of default hotkeys for English keyboards:

Customizable

These keys can be altered using the Control tab from the in-game options menu, [F11]:

` or ~ — Toggle the chat window
1-8 — Activate skills 1-8 on your Skill Bar
Enter — Activate text-entry mode for chat in last-used channel, or send message if already in text-entry mode
! (shift + 1) — Same as Enter, but activates Local channel
@ (shift + 2) — Same as Enter, but activates Guild channel
# (shift + 3) — Same as Enter, but activates Team channel
$ (shift + 4) — Same as Enter, but activates Trade channel
% (shift + 5) — Same as Enter, but activates Alliance channel
" (shift + ') — Same as Enter, but activates whisper channel
; — Target item
' — Target self
[ — Target previous
] — Target next
B — Observer Mode
C — Target Nearest Enemy
V — Target Nearest Ally
F — Target Self
G — Guild panel
H — Hero Panel
I — Inventory panel
K — Skills and Attributes panel
L — Quest Log
M — World Map
N — Friends panel
P — Party Search panel
R — Auto-run
T — Select called target
U — Mission Map
X — Reverse Direction
Z — Reverse Camera
F1-F4 — Switch to Weapon Sets 1-4
F5-F8 — Select specific bag on Inventory panel (opens Inventory if not already open)
F9 — Inventory Bags panel (shows all bags at once without the paper-doll section)
F10 — Help panel
Space — Equivalent to double-clicking the highlighted target

Not customizable

These shortcuts cannot be changed by the user:

Ctrl+action — Calls the action in the team chat window
Ctrl+Shift+H — Toggle the User Interface. Useful for taking multiple UI-free screenshots.
Shift+Printscreen — Makes a screenshot that does not show the UI (equivalent to "Ctrl+Shift+H, PrintScreen and Ctrl+Shift+H")
Shift+F10 — FPS graph. Hitting Tab when this display is up will shift it to a network traffic graph.

Pseudo hotkey

This action requires a mouse (and is not customizable):

Shift+click — highlight target without performing any action

Notes[ | ]

Your Windows OS setting for "sticky keys" can affect the in-game hotkeys. For example, "sticking" the Shift key will cause keys 1-4 to open Chat instead of activating skills.
In addition to the defaults, there are dozens of additional commands that you can set to a hotkey.
