WASD of course. How else am I supposed to drop/equip/change intent/use/change hands/throw/probably more uber fast?

Posted: **Thu Oct 16, 2014 11:13 am**

Get two Eguns, one in each hand, and, while in hotkey mode, use x to swap after firing a shot each time. Good fun.
But I mostly use arrow keys.

I guess this is why I walk all over scrubs on sybil

WASD is cancer

Posted: **Thu Oct 16, 2014 5:24 pm**

Arrow keys.

Sometimes dieing like a scrub can actually be fun.
(But mainly I cba to learn the Hotkeys)

Posted: **Thu Oct 16, 2014 6:49 pm**

WASD fo' lyfe.

The only reason I'd see using the arrow keys over it is to type while you move, and even then you can just tab out of hotkeys real quick and do that.

I can't use WASD with my laptop without putting my arms in uncomfortable positions.

But hey, at least I have a numpad so it's not so bad.

You know you can hold CTRL to temporarily enable hotkeys? I use arrow keys, and CTRL+Z, X, Q, E, etc

Posted: **Thu Oct 16, 2014 8:38 pm**

Oh yeah, it's better to use your second hand to press two buttons instead of using one hand to press single buttons much faster, because they are all nearby while your other hand is using the fucking mouse to click on things. Or I guess use your arrow keys hand to press those two buttons but you're better off clicking at that point.

I cannot believe how many people use arrow keys.

WASD is a requirement for engineering. Quickswitching from screwdriver to crowbar when setting or removing windows makes the whole process less suffering. Same applies to wirecutters/crowbar when hacking doors. There's too many things that require two hands not to be using hotkeys.

Posted: **Thu Oct 16, 2014 9:41 pm**

yes, it is much faster to move your mouse to the bottom of your screen and click on a tiny box
as opposed to pressing "x"
this is the truth and it is a fact

also its spelled WASD

Posted: **Thu Oct 16, 2014 9:52 pm**

No he's talking about mouse3. Which is the click your mouse wheel makes when you click down on it if you have a mouse made past the year 2000.
It does the same thing as x/ctrl-x.

EDIT: I retract my earlier statement, because I forgot people exist that are stupid enough to make shit like this

It's WSAD.

Up down left right makes more sence than up left down right.

Its a triangle you pleb.

Posted: **Thu Oct 16, 2014 10:54 pm**

While I've never thought of it as a triangle of sorts, it IS WASD, it just feels more natural.

Posted: **Thu Oct 16, 2014 11:42 pm**

middle mouse > x tbh

rest of hot keys are gud though

edit: actually it depends, middle mouse click doesn't work if you middle click on a tile you cannot see due to darkness

Posted: **Fri Oct 17, 2014 2:57 am**

all these people not using arrow keys it's like you really want to play the game efficiently or something

Posted: **Fri Oct 17, 2014 4:09 am**

>not using wasd

>not calling it wasd

Fixed.

Posted: **Fri Oct 17, 2014 12:47 pm**

I use arrow keys for normal play because I like talking to people.

Then I hit tab for murderboning or combat times. It's fun to switch to kill mode.

Posted: **Fri Oct 17, 2014 1:45 pm**

I always viewed it as WASD were used by powergamers and arrows by people that actually RP (due to speed of being able to type on demand without pressing anything first).

But mainly I use the arrows beacuse I didnt realise hotkeys were possible, so I've got used to arrows and WASD just feels utterly wrong.

Posted: **Fri Oct 17, 2014 9:32 pm**

Arrow keys are so incredibly awkward when you're in a game that predominantly focuses on communication. It means you have to shift both hands every time you go from talking to movement, how is that more RP-prone?

Wait.
Wait a second.

Do you use both hands when you use arrows?
What. What the actual fuck. You use your left hand to type shit and right hand to move around, duh.

Posted: **Sun Oct 19, 2014 3:35 am**

I seriously think we should make the hotkey mode the default and then have a preference option to use the arrow keys. Obviously a big fan of the hotkeys.

@oranges: Known bug, will fix at some point.

Posted: **Sun Oct 19, 2014 1:12 pm**

What do you mean?

Posted: **Sun Oct 19, 2014 2:27 pm**

I use my left hand to move my spacemen and my right on the mouse i mean seriously i can type while i move and i have my keyboard in a platform below my mouse so i dunno if all you have the motor skills of a fucking slug or just can't multitask.

Posted: **Sun Oct 19, 2014 2:37 pm**

Oh, i get, you don't understand how i use mouse. Well, again, more specific:

Left hand is used for writing and right is used for moving with arrows, thanks to which i can write while moving. When i need to click stuff, i use my left hand for moving (and hotkeys, if combat), while i put my right hand on mouse (which is on the same level, few centimeters to right) so i can point at things. It's just that simple.

>typing while you move

when would you ever have to do this

Posted: **Mon Oct 20, 2014 12:02 am**

All the time. NEVER CEASE TO MOVE IT MAKES YOU WAY TOO OBVIOUS TARGET MUH POWERGAME.

This. Numpad and page ups and downs etc. Right hand stays mostly on mouse, left hand switches moving/typing.

If I could more easily type whole sentences while moving (sec), I wouldn't have to put up with so much bullshit from people I'm dragging to the brig screaming OMG Y U ARREST OMG SEC MY BUTTROGUE. I mean, they've got the time to shit up the radio because they're being dragged and literally cannot move while I cannot type because I'm moving. Spessmans were not meant to walk and talk at the same time.

Posted: **Wed Oct 29, 2014 12:59 pm**

I'm forced to arrow keys because i use an AZERTY keyboard.
