Good Key-Rebinds

Thought it'd be nice to compare notes as to what people have changed their keys to.  My current changes:

 

Ping: Moved to F (So I can tap it easily during game)

Summon Idol Minion: Order reversed, 5 = Priests, 7 = Minotaur.  I almost always use Priests, rarely use Minotaurs... so why make me hit 7??

Use Favor Item: Caps Lock. This is why I involuntarily yell at my teammates sometimes.  But having a quick ringfinger key to start a favor item use is much better than finger fanning all the way to f4

Skills tree: Z

Character Screen: C (Can't remember if that is different).

Select all Minions and Character: X

Hmmm moving favor to caps lock...might try that.

All mine are default otherwise, i have a 5 button mouse, so alot of my binding is done on there.

I have a mx1000 mouse,has a bunch of buttons on it.I have 1&2 on the wheel tilt and 3&4 on the thumb button.The rest are set to default,but generally use the mouse to click the rest of them.I'm terrible about using the keyboard.Gonna get bashed for that last comment.

I moved select all minions to R, select DG to V, and select all minions and DG to F.  Too many nubs always moving their minions with their DG.  I play Rook 95% of the time and Reg 5% of the time though... lol.

You have to send your bank account details to Frogboy first, including your PIN. Note that "Profit" may sometimes be negative.

I did, and look at me now:

So you should too! Tell your friends and families now!

Where do you bind the HP bar toggle function to then? I can't even remember if it can be rebound...

I'm surprised you people rebind keys, but don't make Z, X, and C useful keys.  Do you really need to be able to bring up the character screen instantly?

The idea of rebinding is to put things closer to your default hand position during a game, ideally you shouldn't be moving from that position in the middle of an actual fight, where milliseconds of reaction time matter.  In my case it's WASD, camera controls are too important in a game where you can zoom out to infinity, and Rook is so goddamned big you have to adjust the camera to his location.

So anyway, my point.  I has one.  When you're binding, think about what you need to hit that matters from a reaction time perspective.  For me it's items, skills, and demigod selection, so items go on z, x, and c.  Skills remain on 1, 2, 3, and 4 (although that's still more awkward than I'd like, Q, and E are usually prime real estate, but I'm too used to using them to rotate camera now.)  Demigod selection/minion select is bound to shift+1, 2, and 3.  this puts everything I'd need to hit in the middle of a battle within easy reach of WASD, so there's no hand shifting required.

I have multiple times gotten level 5 mid combat with beast, and immediately learned foul grasp.  I could see an argument though for putting items on z,x,c,v though.

I havent rebinded any keys. Dont need to imo...very used to default ones :)

You ping with the P key?  Honestly? M,N,O are good for ordering minions about? I'm pretty sure any 'hot key' not bound somewhere on the left hand might as well not exist.

I really want to bind Q & E.   It's easy enough to use the spacebar + mouse to rotate.

I thought i read somewhere that you could modify those keys in a file.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Then look for UserKeyMap

 

My current key setup is as follows:

Code: html
  1.             UserKeyMap = {
  2.                 Q = 'use_ability_1',
  3.                 W = 'use_ability_2',
  4.                 E = 'use_ability_3',
  5.                 R = 'use_ability_4',
  6.                 ['Shift-Q'] = 'use_summon_1',
  7.                 ['Shift-W'] = 'use_summon_2',
  8.                 ['Shift-E'] = 'use_summon_3',
  9.                 A = 'use_inventory_1',
  10.                 S = 'use_inventory_2',
  11.                 D = 'use_inventory_3',
  12.                 F = 'use_achievement',
  13.                 ['Shift-A'] = 'ping_attack',
  14.                 ['Shift-S'] = 'ping_move',
  15.                 ['Shift-D'] = 'ping_alert',
  16.                 ['1'] = 'control_demigod',
  17.                 ['2'] = 'control_minions_all',
  18.                 ['3'] = 'control_minions_allplushero',
  19.                 ['4'] = 'control_minions_soldiers',
  20.                 ['5'] = 'control_minions_archers',
  21.                 ['6'] = 'control_minions_priests',
  22.                 ['0'] = 'control_minions_special',
  23.                 ['Shift-F'] = 'add_cam_position',
  24.                 ['Shift-R'] = 'rem_cam_position',
  25.                 Z = 'next_cam_position',
  26.                 X = 'show_skills',
  27.                 C = 'show_player_stats'
  28.             },
