Hotkeys ESDF Favorite Bug - autohotkey workaround

Post » Wed May 09, 2012 1:19 pm

Currently if you remap F from its default (Toggle POV) you can no longer hit F in inventory or magic menu to favorite an item. Unless you favorited anything before remapping hitting your Favorite Menu key (default Q) wont bring up a menu.

To work around this bug, and also because I wanted to remap 6, 7 and 8 to T, G, and B respectively I made a AutoHotkey Script.

You can get AutoHotKey here http://www.autohotkey.com/.

Here are my mappings and autohotkey script.

*Note that I did remap (in the game menu itself) a few keys to avoid potential problems, like tab for character menu, since tab is the universal exit/backspace key for the entire UI.
So the first value is the default key, the second is what I remapped to in the game, and the third is the key I use (note +Letter, i.e. +Z means u hit shift and Z)
There is also a 4th column on a few where I just noted for myself the mouse buttons I mapped in logitech settings for my g500

**very important to note that using this means that X is now the key that marks items as favorites in the menus

Default Key, In-Game Remap, Autohotkey Remap

Strange, I'm not having this problem. I moved toggle POV to the middle mouse button and I can favorite things just fine.

I think it might be if you remap onto F and off of F. Or it might be that ESDF'ers are putting a movement key onto F. Definetly a repeatable bug.

Yea but what did you assign to F? I use ESDF to move around, so my favorites menu isn't working at all. Which also means I can't use any hotkeys.

Varus read my post it works really well. I also gives you the advantage of moving everything within a single keystroke of your esdf movement keys, including moving the favorite 6, 7, and 8 key to T, G, B respectively.

Ok I radically adjusted the script and edited the OP. Basically if you start messing around with F and Q you can get some weird problems, like where your favorite menu wont come up anymore. So I remapped as much as i could in-game, working around those keys or remaping them in game. The script is far smaller and I tested the crap out of it.
