When combat is initiated, it locks the original use I had for the 1-5 number keys. For example on 4 I had hearth back to hearthfire, and 5 was lift. I moved them because when I was on combat, the 1-5 keys lose their original use and become combat keys.
I suggest adding in the F1 to F5 (preferably F1 - F10) keys in order to counteract this. Basically, when combat starts, those keys are moved to the f1 - f5 keys OR we could have it so we get another row of keys from the get go. The buttons 6-10 are basically too far away to be used effectively on combat since I have my hand and finger position on the 1-5 keys, making it easier to just move them up over having to move my hand to the other side of the keyboard.

I think amber client (and others) offer function key hotkey option if you want immediate solution.uroyoan wrote:When combat is initiated, it locks the original use I had for the 1-5 number keys.

Should just allow setting your own keybindings.

Bump for this. Anything that means we no longer have to hold shift. Whether it be F keys or being able to hold tab, or tilde or anything to replace holding shift while having to use 1-5 because the small amount of time since this worlds been up I've gotten an incredible amount of actual pain from how awkward it is to use.

I also hate having to hold shift just to use the other row of attacks at my disposition. Function keys would be a bliss

Re: Combat is locking the 1-5 Number keys, Add Function Keys
Reason why I am trying to get away from the letters is because currently when you press certain few of them it activates some of tile like pictures in the crafting menu. Example, if you press c you go to crafting, A takes you to adventure. We could add in an option to disable this feature in order to be able to use qwert in in favor of function keys.

Jorb has already stated that he doesn't like the idea of lettered keys because of how it interacts with crafting hotkeys, nor do they have the support for allowing our own key bindings but still, something that doesn't feel like it's actively causing arthritis would be pretty neato.

I agree that the UI is clunky on this point an could improve.
