Guides / Quickswitch hotkeys
Description
This page has been written by me to act as an example of how powerful hotkeys can be in Wurm. Users may take what I have here and copy it in its entirety or they can adapt it to their own needs. At present most of this requires the unstable client and as such many people seem to know nothing about it. Hopefully that will change when the clients are merged, but in the meantime I will attempt to spread the word.
There are so many actions in wurm that binding them all would take up most of the keyboard. Listed in the #Files section below are the commands needed to allow you to quickly switch between jobs at the press of a button. Imping your tools and need to chop some wood? Easy.
The system below revolves around the use of
W
S
A
D and the mouse as movement controls.
Q and
E are easy take and drop access.
Tab is used to activate. This leaves
X and
C as our quickswitch hotkeys. If I am imping then these are repair and improve respectively, in mining they are prospect and mine respectively, etc. I also use the
Shift as a modifier, but
Z and
V could be used aswell. To switch between them you simply press the relevent button. For example woodcutting is
Shift-F1. When combined with a toolbelt and its number shortcuts it becomes simple and efficient.
