Aodlop.1907 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Complaining aside, I want to ask a genuine why? I'm clueless in the arts of coding, so surely I assume there must be complications that prevent Anet from adding this feature? Because it feels very frustrating and needlessly limiting. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASP.8093 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 What do you mean, precisely? I have all kinds of stuff bound to Shift + Thing or Alt + Thing. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent.6137 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Aside from what is mentioned above, you can use Ctrl+Key, Alt+Shift+Key, Ctrl+Shift+Key.

JayHog.3280 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I have a somewhat decent system myself. 1-5: Weapon skills. Shift + 1-5: Ability skills Shift + Q-T: Profession skills. Sometimes I mess up because I forget I was holding control to check what enemies were around the map, but decently doable and never have to take your hand off the left side. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean so you can see yellow names? If so, you can go to options and set those to always visible, no need to hold down CTRL. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm used to hold control to see names of stuff when it's not plain obvious what's an enemy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, in that case, Options>General>5th toggle box (Show All Enemy Names) This will show them in red all the time.

You double-click in a box next to a command in control settings, either in column 1 or column 2, and it brings up a box, and it won't let you hold like Ctrl + Shift + H then click 'Accept'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't work for me. Maybe it's because I'm trying to "fuse" the modifier with a function? I don't know. Works in WoW, doesn't work here and I'm not sure why. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then press any key or any key combo. You can set 2 keybinds to any actions if the keybinds are available. You can even use the same keybinds if the actions are for different modes and do not conflict. Example: same keybind to swim down when unmounted and also to go down when mounted. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works in WoW, doesn't work here and I'm not sure why. How about an example? Rather than words like fuse, modifier and function, what exactly are you trying to bind? Like: Ctrl + Shift + F1. Something like that. What exactly are you trying to bind, and to what command? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notebene.3190 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 That is so weird. I can double click in column 2 to get the interface to come up, hold SHIFT and F8 together, then click accept and it takes it. 😕 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donari.5237 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Definitely strange. See, I just made Shift-F8 my secondary command for weapon skill 1. Tapped it, my pistol fired. Tapped 1, my pistol also fired. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/375715891280609285/983167494523060234/ComboKeyShiftF8.JPG Step by step: Open Options Click on mouse icon to get to keybinds Scroll to the thing you want to bind to F8 Double click in the keybind field to the right of that thing (here, I clicked in the blank secondary slot, but could have done so in the first key column to overwrite the 1) Click in the empty field that comes up (possibly unnecessary, but I do it) Type the key or combo you want to use (here, Shift+F8) Hit accept And that should do it. You didn't say what you were trying to bind to it, so maaaaybe it's a thing that can't be rebound? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notebene.3190 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 One strange thought. Do you happen to have a keyboard with a “gaming” mode that disables the windows key and other keys while you play? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
