| | If you go to the Keypad menu (Shift-Ctrl-1) and then check the box "Show contents if CTRL Held Down" you get a whole new set of keypad spaces. These fire if you hold CTRL while pressing a Keypad key. |

| | sweetness, what about Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+ / Alt + * alt + 0 alt + - alt + + and et cetera? I try to do all my fighting from my keypad, it is much much easier that reaching for my F-keys (which are spread out wider than my hand heh) | | Top |

| No, Not yet, nor am I aware if nick is going to add Alt-Keypad (which is also spread out more than a hands width) at all.
However, There are (Macro menu) macros available for alt-[letter] for all of the letters (theres 17, with the other 9 being for the File Menu)
You could easily use right Alt with thumb, and then a whole slew of keys (depending on whats comfortable) for the rest of your commands. |

| | I don't understand how a keypad is wider than my hand :P It's much easier to hit 15 keys that are 4 keys wide and 5 keys long, than it is to hit 11 keys that are 11 keys wide, and 1 key long. I use my left hand to hit alt and ctrl, and my right to hit the keypad. Also, I have an ergonmically ('cuse the spelling) designed keyboard, which is slightly a pain in the arse when it comes to the F keys :P It would be very very nice if I could macro any combination of shift ctrl and alt and keys. | | Top |

| No, Was talking about Alt-Keypad being a wider spread. (I use my left hand for all my keypad stuff, even w/ Ctrl)
And, Like I was saying, Use the alt-key with the keyboard (under macros not keypad) If you need more commands. Then you can use your left hand for the Alt, and some buttons. Not sure how it works with ergonomic keyboards, personally I hate the things, so you might need to do a little playing, but you can probably figure something out.
As for Alt-Keypad, Youd have to ask nick why he doesnt have it, it probably has to do with the fact that you cant hit Alt and the keypad with the same hand at the same time. Well, unless you have big hands. With Ctrl, Its possible, and actually pretty convienient. |

| | I dunno, I'm kind of a weirdo, I use my left hand to hit the left alt, and do random typing of - quick - aliases, like eb, eba, ek, eko, et cetera, and my right to hit the right ctrl + all the keys on the keypad *g*, Nick, if you've had a chance to read this post, do you plan on implementing some sort of any key macro? | | Top |

| It is on the list, yes. I did start doing it, but it became quite complicated, because some keys relate to individual worlds, some to overall operation (eg. quit), some are for the notepad, and so on.
I have shelved it for the time being, but it is at the back of my mind. :) |
