Stand Still/Shoot Button Has To Change

Got my beta invite 2 days ago(Thanks Much)

My biggest problem with the game so far has been the default Stand Still/Shoot button (SSB from here on) assigned to the Shift key and not assignable to any other key. I most enjoy the Ranger (bow version) and the Witch, both ranged toons.

Asumming a Righthanded player(turned off pressing a button to highlight items, and filtered white items) means the only non skill/spell key you hit with your left hand is the SSB...

Judging by the default keys in the game, the designers intend your left hand to be on the QWER keys, able to reach up and hit the 1-5 keys or over to hit the T key for a 5th skill/spell. which puts your left thumb on the space bar by default. How are you supposed to reach the the Left Shift Key while your left hand is on the QWER keys, twist your left pinky down 2 keys(arching your hand, carpel tunnel anyone?(sp?))

If you can not set the SSB key to assignable, you should Set the default to the Space Bar. The space bar clears all windows but so does ESC and the Space Bar is in the most comfortable posistion for the SSB Key. The Shift button for SSB is not in a comfortable posistion for anyone who plays any class.

Noesss don't take away my space binding! :) I like using it for highlight items, rather than ALT. But I agree with you, there shouldn't be any locked bindings.

I've set my spell to AZESD (QWESD) and flask to 1234R. Pinky on shift, thumb on space, works fine.

I don't see the problem with pressing shift...almost every FPS requires that you hold shift to walk or even ctrl to duck/cover.

Pinky on shift, then the other fingers on QWE, with thumb on space. It's pretty comfy and only requires you to bend your pinky, not stretch it or anything.

The biggest problem is I want Keys I can set to how I play. I understand that the way I like my keys/buttons is not how others would like, but how I would like.

As a long time player of RPG games, I would like buttons/keys that are able to be configured to my game style, not to a set(unchangeable) key that is realy, realy, realy, IN THE WRONG PLACE!

I've seen people post this in a lot of games or similar things, "How am I supposed to reach this key AND this key..."

And it leads me to believe that I either have freakishly long fingers or other people have really short ones.

Maybe you need longer fingers.

How long have you been typing for? Maybe you're just not familiar enough with the keyboard yet to do fairly weird things like hit multiple buttons at once =)

Are you able to do the vulcan hand sign?

I only play Ranged Duelest and find all key presses good. Although my kensington wireless mouse does have two extra side buttons and it would be cool if these could be configured for spell use.

You both imply that stetching from the QWER to the Shift Key is simple and something anyone can do. Why when the QWER and 1-5 keys are all right next to each other and the Shift Key is 2 keys away. The Space Bar is I think a better option for SSB(and the F key would me by second choice given how I would place my fingers).

This game as far as I can tell in the Beta, there are only 10 buttons you need to press. 3 on your mouse, 5 that can be hotkeyed to QWERT, and one for SST. Why strech 2 keys away for something that should be 1 key away?

Also, agree with Souljacker, would be nice if 5 button mouse was supported. Or any combination of input devices.

Ctrl for standstill and remapping of mouse buttons.
