Mouse Mode Controls: Quick Slots

Gameplay Feedback Features
#1

Is it just me or the quick slots for mouse mode are kind of inconvenient?

Except for the lowest bar of quick slots, which require 1-0 keys, the rest of the slots require the use of CTRL and maybe Shift/Alt keys as well? It takes more time to use those skills in those slots since the positioning of my fingers are on the 1-4 keys, and having to press CTRL is awkward.

Seems like it would be potentially convenient for left-handed people if they use the mouse with their left hand, and use a keyboard that has a num-pad with their right hand. But it’s really bad for a right-handed person like me.

For me the workaround is to right-click the quick slot instead of hitting the respective keys, but many skills require targetting, so it’s not practical to right-click on them.

With that said, I highly prefer having the QWERTY keys as Quick Slots, just like the Keyboard mode. Is there anything that prevents the developers from using the same design for Mouse Mode?

There is a workaround of editing your xml files of the respective hotkey mode you are using, it requires a bit of work, but no rocket science. This game is still in its beta stage so, maybe one day we will see a hotkey editor in the options/settings, but not right now. You can find the xml files in your ToS folder.

I do not recommend playing the way you think is optimal, especially if you are a swordsman class with dash (which will no longer work with mouse mode if you are considering on changing the qwerty keys, as WASD are still the keys to move in mouse mode. There are all other problems that you will only realise later probably too… Keyboard mode isn’t all too convenient for many things, especially auto attacking and spamming your auto attack. It’s only good for skills that require you to drop a skill somewhere.

On reddit there is a hotkey changer tool, but it could still use some work.

Some people believe that changing your hotkey files crashes the game. This is not true if you did it properly. I am using a heavily edited keyboard mode myself.

I personally have no problem hitting the CTRL/SHIFT + number keys (even though I do plan on changing it when given the option). I’ve played other games where CTRL+number was the default way to use skills, so I think that is why ToS has it set like that by default.

At some point before the official release there will be an option to change your hotkeys though, so I wouldn’t worry too much about this.

Hmm, interesting. I might just try that out kafra. I am playing a Wizard, and I move and attack with the mouse. I didn’t even use the WASD keys to move. =P

Daenerys, I see. Hopefully they will have the options to change them.

there are additional shortcut panels that are bound to shift+number and ctrl+shift+number. Just press that little “+” to the left of skill panel.

And ofc you can change those binds by modifying hotkey_mousemode.xml.
