Mar(c) Report post Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) New topic about the ingame hotkeys (static and configurable ones). The old list was in the aged Game Commands topic: 96827[/snapback]. I marked the ones which were not mentioned in that list with ++. (I marked #K_AFK too, this one was mentioned in the list but didn't get added to keys.ini yet.) If I missed any or made any mistakes, post here. (Btw, static hotkeys Ctrl+Q and Delete don't work for me.) Also, are K_SCREENSHOT, K_MARKFILTER and K_MINIMAP ready enough to be added? These are the static hotkeys: note hotkey action Alt+X Exits the game Ctrl+Q Exits the game Alt+Enter Toggles fullscreen mode ++ F6 Toggles HUD border ++ ` Toggles the console window ++ Alt [on animal/player] Temporarily switches to attack cursor ++ Shift [on animal] Temporarily switches to eye cursor Ctrl+V Pastes copied text into the game Shift+Insert Pastes copied text into the game Exit Clears the current input text line Backspace Removes character left of the cursor from the input text line ++ Delete Removes character under the cursor from the input text line Enter Sends the input text line to the server ++ Ctrl+Up Gets a previous text line from input history buffer ++ Ctrl+Down Gets a next text line from input history buffer ++ F9 [test] Particle test: personal fire (light source) ++ Ctrl+F7 [test] Read book "abc.xml" ++ Shift+F7 [test] Read book "sediculos.xml" In console mode: Up Scrolls your chat log one line up Down Scrolls your chat log one line down Page Up Scrolls your chat log one page up Page Down Scrolls your chat log one page down ++ Alt+Page Up Scrolls your chat log to the beginning ++ Alt+Page Down Scrolls your chat log to the end When the cursor is on input text line: ++ Up Moves the cursor one line up ++ Down Moves the cursor one line down ++ Left Moves the cursor one character left ++ Right Moves the cursor one character right ++ Ctrl+Left Moves the cursor one word left ++ Ctrl+Right Moves the cursor one word right ++ Home Moves the cursor to the beginning ++ End Moves the cursor to the end For the configurable hotkeys (i.e. for key.ini), the following special keys are defined: name description name description ESCAPE = Esc PRINT = Print Scrn F1 .. F10 = Function keys F1-F15 SYSREQ = SysRq NUMLOCK = Num Lock LSHIFT = Left Shift CAPSLOCK = Caps Lock RSHIFT = Right Shift SCROLLOCK = Scroll Lock LCTRL = Left Ctrl KP0 ..

bluap Report post Posted November 18, 2006 Also, are K_SCREENSHOT, K_MARKFILTER and K_MINIMAP ready enough to be added? K_MARKFILTER has been in CVS a while, its enabled by default. I've not had any problems so hopefully it will be include in the next release. K_MINIMAP is not enabled by default however, there are issues being investigated.

BloodSucker Report post Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) Can I bind multiple keys to one command? i.e.: #K_SPELL1 = LALT 1 #K_SPELL1 = KP0 ? Edited April 6, 2007 by BloodSucker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zilvador Report post Posted May 11, 2008 Sorry for reliving an old thread, but figured this was relevant... These are the static hotkeys: note hotkey action Alt+X Exits the game Ctrl+Q Exits the game I have asked for this before, and Grum came up with some kind of solution by changing a file of shortcuts (not key.ini). Since I installed the client again I havn't been able to find the file and I still can't seem to coordinate my big fingers using combinations with the ALT or CTRL key. The client closes down at very inconvenient moments Can something be done to disable or redelegate these functions to some other keys? //Zilvador Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vegar Report post Posted May 11, 2008 Try to set K_QUIT and K_QUIT_ALT to something else in key.ini. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zilvador Report post Posted May 12, 2008 Excellent Thanks for a quick answer. The two lines weren't in my key.ini, but after adding them and setting the new keys to something in the other end of the keyboard, it worked perfectly! Now I don't have to be handicapped by my lack of finger coodination pickpoints in real life //Zilvador Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellocat Report post Posted December 23, 2008 I have changed this: #K_ROTATELEFT = LSHIFT LEFT #K_ROTATERIGHT = LSHIFT RIGHT #K_FROTATELEFT = LEFT #K_FROTATERIGHT = RIGHT Much better now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluap Report post Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) The keys work just the same mostly. There is a bug with the keypad keys and the way they are defined in the key.ini which I'll fix asap. is fixed now. Edited February 29, 2020 by bluap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluap Report post Posted December 30, 2021 For the 1.9.6 update, I noted quite a few people had issues with the key.ini file so I thought I'd document the following: The location of the key.ini file (unchanged since forever): The default version of the key.ini file is located where you installed the client; the client data directory. Modifying this version in place is not recommended. Like all other files placed there by the installer, it will be overwritten when next you install a full update. Instead, copy the file and put the copy in the top level of your personal settings folder. Files in this folder will never be overwritten or changed when you install a new client. On windows, your personal setting folder is usually "C:\Users\<your login name>\Documents\Eternal Lands\" on Linux this is normally "$HOME/.elc/". Note, this is not the location of many of your other personal files which are in a sub-folder of this such as "main". On start-up, the client writes a message to the console telling you this sub-folder location. Just move up one folder from there to get to the top level of your personal settings. The client looks for the key.ini file in several locations, stopping when it finds the file. The sequence of locations checked is this: 1) Personal Folder top level, 2) Personal Folder "/updates/<client version number>/" and 3) Installed data folder. In each of the locations, the client will also look for compressed versions with the ".xz" then ".gz" extension. Changes since client was updated to use the SDL version 2 library (1.9.5p6): The left and right CTRL/ALT/Shift modifier keys are now independent. If you use LALT for your definition, RALT will not work too. As before, you cannot define a second key for the same action and if you do, only the last definition in the file will work. The key definitions (other than modifier keys) use the Key Names specified by the SDL2 library. This is largely as it was previously with the notable exception of the keypad keys. Also, if the Key Name includes a space, then you have replace the space with an underscore when adding it to the key.ini file. For example, to define #K_SPELL1 to use keypad 1, you would add the following line to your key.ini file. #K_SPELL1 = KEYPAD_1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluap Report post Posted April 30, 2022 18 hours ago, Cordor said: Hello i changed the key.ini on android with apkeditor but #K_SPELL1 = KEYPAD_1 have no effect tyvm for development and help :-) Android is a bit tricky as the client has to unpack the files from the APK at run-time then caches them. So if you just reloaded the apk then it would not have replaced the cached file. When a new client is published with updated data, a flag is set in the APK to delete the cache version. If you are running a version of Android (pre 10 I think) that allows access to the file system, you can put a modified version of the key.ini file into your user config directory. On android that is "/Internal/Android/data/com.purebinary.elc/files/user". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
