Client Key Bindings

Main Page :: Client Key Bindings

Introduction

Key bindings are defined in the keybindings.txt file, which is automatically updated if you rebind keys while playing. Other commands that should be run on update can be put in autorun.txt.

bind up move_forward
bind down move_back
bind left turn_left
bind right turn_right
bind page_up autorun
bind page_down center_view

Customization

For faster access to drop, take, examine, and climb:

bind y drop
bind u examine
bind i take
bind r toggle_climb

The following opens windows when the client loads:

toggle skills
toggle inventory
toggle stats

This stops JK chat from loading when the game starts (But sometimes someone gets in a message before it takes effect. Placing it at the top of the file may help.)

say /kchat

You could add this to know how much sleep bonus you have when you log in:

say /sleep

this would work best at the bottom of the file I think.

The new IRC Commands:

Irc [Server] [Port]

Ircsay [Msg]

Irc [Server] [Port]: This opens the IRC windows in the provided server and port, Heavenly place by Default.

Ircsay [Msg]: Says the given text in the IRC, could be used to auto identify your self by pressing F7

bind f7 "ircsay /identify *password*

Could also be used to Auto-Load the irc once the game starts by adding

irc

In the autorun.txt file

Note: the Brackets [] aren't needed in the commands, it can just be.

ircsay hey guys

Another command is exec, it's useful for loading a sequence of commands from a text file, among other things...

It could be used like this...

bind F7 "exec irc.txt"

irc.txt could have the following in it...

ircsay /identify PASSWORD
ircsay /join #town
ircsay Hey guys.
