Hi folks, i want to make a Hotkey for my Pet to attack, but i have the whole set of Hotkeys in use, can i assign it somehow to an other Button? Like E? or F? Got my Movement on "wasd", con on "t" sit on y (or z for all the english users in here) logout on "STRG X" and all my essential Spells on HB 1 to 6, all the other HB are in use for Drogmor, Dismount, Guild, INC etc It would be cool if i could assign the Command "Pet Attack" to my e key (or F) anyway to do that?

You do realize you have 10 diferent 'banks' of hotkeys, don't you (and can access them easily by Shift+ 1-0, since I'm guessing you'd prefer to use keyboard commands for the majority of the controls in the gameI know it's a pain in the @$$, but I have my second hotkey bank full of miscellaneous pet commands (the two guard commands/attack/health/etc.) on my Beastlord.

In my opinion, the pet window is just too slow to use, especially if in a pinch when you get horded by mobs of if you're suffering from really bad lag. It's just so much easier to control your pet with a simple keystroke than it is by having to move your pointer over and click the button.

Just my 2cp on the whole thing.

I agree. I use my num-pad for my spell casting. Its quick easy and I know exactly what numbers correspond to what spells. Plus like you said, saves the hotkeys for anything else I need them for.

Good Idea! the idea with the HB bank (1-0) isnt that good, tooks to much time (for me) to switch between bank 1 and 2 trying the way with Q and E =) thanx for help
