Post your keyboard changes!

I bind z to my sprint/ninja run power(s).  I bind r to my flight or jump pack powers.  I have started using mousechord for an ally-targeted heal and a leftdoubleclick to a self heal.  I also sometimes use mousechord or ` for domination.  I use alt+leftmouseclick for petcomall goto passive on all my masterminds.  I have been using the function keys for various costume changes.  I use numpad 9 for the auction house and numpad 6 for my enhancement management screen.  🙂

First thing I change is the WASD movement keys.

I use WERD instead ... which inverts the T shape of the movement keys and moves the entire array of keys being used over 1 key to the right on the keyboard.

 

Doing this puts the curl of my fingers above the keyboard into a more natural rest position and because I'm using the E key under my left middle finger to go forwards it puts the rest of my fingers into an easier/shorter movement position to be able to reach the 1-6 keys (since the E key is exactly between the 3 and 4 on my keyboard) as well as the F1-F6 keys as well.

Your level of attention to ergonomics is exactly what I expected from someone with that particular signature line.

F is always my primary travel power, and G is the secondary (Hover, CJ, etc). 

 

If teleport is used, LShift+LMouse is the go to, with LCtrl+LMouse for secondary teleports (Dwarf Steps). 

 

Mouse4 and Mouse5 are used when I have toggles that I’ll use often, and N is for turning those off (Kheldian forms, or Hurricane). 

 

V is the Stealth power, if I have one. 

 

Sometimes I’ll set Enter as a “/afk Smacking the keyboard...$$beginchat”, depending on the character and how I’m feeling at any given moment. 

 

I may look into using WERD on a character, and see how it feels. WASD has felt a little cramped, and I have to stretch for 5 and 6, so that might go over better.

Just to forestall any future inquiries about the "baseline" default keybinds that I use for ALL of my alts, with individualized modifications building on this "common" foundation for keybinds ... here is my edited keybinds.txt that I use as a Return To Default loading of keybinds.

Hey, nobody's going to do the ergonomics work for me ... because if you want something done, you've gotta do it yourself.

It's going to feel ... weird ... (no pun intended) for about a week as you retrain your muscle memory to use WERD instead of WASD.  It's just a matter of breaking an old habit and forming a new one.  The relevant part of rewriting the involved keybinding scheme (which is included in the above, obviously) ... is this:

w "+left"
e "+forward"
r "+right"
s "+turnleft"
d "+backward"
f "+turnright"

E is move forward ... D is move backwards.

W is strafe left ... R is strafe right.

S is turn left ... F is turn right.

 

I barely use the turn keys at all, but I use the forward/back and strafe left/right keys all the time.

By moving my movement keys into the WERD position, that frees up the Q+A keys to the left so that I can use them for Throttle Up/Throttle Down in games that use that kind of continuous movement control (Star Trek Online while in space) with little difficulty.  Here on Homecoming I use Shift+Q for autorun, so as to make it a "more deliberate" action that is harder to do accidentally.

I use a Nostromo controller (well now its successor from Razer) with its default WASD setup with  a couple-three keys changed.  A lot of games, both online & not, use "E" as the use/activation key which I either put at top right or just below it depending on the game.

These are my additions to my stock keybinds.txt file:

 

CTRL+\ "quit"
` "powexec_name Combat Jumping$$powexec_name Super Jump"
BUTTON4 "target_enemy_near"
BUTTON5 "target_friend_near"
CTRL+D "say I'm dancing on your grave, $target!$$em dance"
SHIFT+F "powexec_name Sands of Mu"
F9 "say <color #FFFF33><bgcolor #000000><scale 2>level $level $origin $primary/$secondary $archetype ($side side) looking for a large team to join!"
G "say Hello, $target!$$em wave"
CTRL+G "say Goodbye, $target — I'll try not to miss you!$$em wave"
CTRL+P "powexec_location me Blue Wisp Pet$$powexec_location me Red Wisp Pet"
 

I'll have more as I play more.

I started out with a Nostromo n50 then n52, then switched over to the Logitech G13, as I did't want to pay the then premium to get the Razor branding for a physically identical device. The G13 cost more than the Razor but I felt it was a better device I'm now on my 2nd and could really do with another/upgrade.

 

Keys beyond the standard:

ctrl+lbutton "powexec_name teleport" - Allows ctrl+click to teleport to that location.

numpad1 "request_exit_mission 0" - Exits a finished mission.

ctrl+NUMPAD0 "bindload$$chatload$$optionload$$wdwload$$tell $name, Settings Loaded" - Reloads all of my basic settings files and send a tell to that character. I really only use it to update my binds when I've changed them on one character to propagate the changes. But I have also used it when I have lots of windows open.

CTRL+NUMPAD3 "quittocharacterselect" - Fast quit to character select, mostly on a bind because I'm always forgetting that it's "quit" and not "exit"...

I also have a similar set of inspriation buttons as posted above (on Numpad 7,8,9,4,5,6,3).

OMG! I think I found someone who plays almost like me!!!

I move with the wasd keys and fire off all my powers with the number pad!! Numpad1-0 for tray 1, Alt+numpad1-0 for tray two, and ctrl+numpad1-0 for tray three! I like the shift+numpad for team select.. I may have to add that for my controllers/defenders/etc. 

I've also added numpad+ for target nearest enemy, numpad- for target previous enemy. 
 

A very useful bind for all my melee toons is numpad* (multiply) target_enemy_near$$follow. 

 

Shift+y is always Fly

I've also set w to "+forward$$e flypose3" (This only changes the flypose when I release the W key, so I use it in conjunction with R or I press the W twice.)

 

Shift+J is "super jump$$combat jumping" so I can toggle between the two for my jumpers

Also on my jumpers I've got numpad0 bound to "ninja run$$combat jumping" since I want to run in missions and I forget to turn CJ back on when I stop running.

 

I have several binds for talking in the different chats.

I was raised on Doom and earlier "3D" first-person gaming experiences.  "WASD" always felt inherently and terribly wrong to me.  Arrow Keys FOREVER!

So do you play with both hands kind of scrunched over to the right side of your desk, or do you move your keyboard way to the left?

 

I sometimes also bind 'E' to various commonly used powers - kind of reminds me of the use/interact key from some FPS's.

I would venture to say that you do this for security.  If someone steals your gamebox, there's no way in hell they can play CoH on it!  lol

My hand positioning depends on if I'm in casual/roleplay mode, or down-to-brass-tacks-gaming mode.
If casual, and ergo probably typing quite a bit, I'll use just the mouse for movement with my right hand.  No need to strafe, generally, when things are relaxing.

If I'm going all-in, then my left hand usually rests over the arrow keys, positioned in such a way that the numpad is easily accessible, with the fatty part of my palm below the pinky resting on the outcropping below the space bar and/or Windows key on my keyboard.   Right hand on the mouse, unless I've got to swap for something a little more complex or type a message to the team in a hurry.

I'm guessing I'm the only one here to use the numberpad for movement? I was never comfortable with wasd for movement. Interestingly enough, this is the only game I don't use the mouse for movement.

Well, I use the mouse to look around and select stuff, but not for movement, per se;  I basically do the "coarse" movements with WASD, and the fine turning/aiming/selecting with the mouse.  As I did with the other person who stated they use the arrow keys - do you have both hands crammed together near the right side of the keyboard, or do you move the entire keyboard over to the left, so you have more space?

I use the whole keyboard. left hand is on the left side, where it can reach the 1-0 keys (1-6 mostly), shift, alt, control, tab, and most of the utilitarian keybinds. the right hand is all for movement, including travel powers and elevation control. I do use the mouse for clicking doors and objectives...and the stupid ok boxes in the popup windows.

I'm not sure how I did it but I did for a while on live have strafe and turn bound in such a way that when I had mouse look on I strafed, when it was off I turned.
