Keybind Setup

Keybinds in the RoF2 client live under Options → Keys — primary + secondary slot per action, almost everything rebindable. Defaults are functional but suboptimal; an hour of remapping pays off across every character.

At a glance

Field	Value
Open keybind window	Options → Keys
Slots per action	2 (primary + secondary)
Per-character file	EQClient.ini
Default movement	WASD + arrows
Default autoattack	A

Default keybinds worth knowing

Key	Action
WASD / arrows	Movement. Pick one set.
A	Toggle autoattack. Melee on, casters off.
H / I / B / P	Hotbar 1 toggle / inventory / spellbook / persona.
O / M	EQ Options (socials live here) / map.
C / F9	First-person toggle / camera mode cycle.
F1–F6	Target self, then group 1-5.
F8	Target nearest NPC — veterans use this constantly for pulling and add-spotting.
F10 / Tab	UI off (clean screenshots) / cycle nearest.
Enter / /	Chat / chat with / typed.

Recommended remaps

The standard veteran remap pass:

Action	Default	Remap to	Why
Jump	(unbound by default in RoF2)	Spacebar	Universal across modern games, frees right hand.
Autoattack	A	T (or mouse button 4)	A collides with strafe in WASD layouts.
Sit / stand	(menu only)	X	Cheap one-key med toggle.
Target nearest NPC	F8	Q (or ~)	Pulling and add-spotting at thumb distance.
Target self	F1	R (or stay on F1)	If your group window covers F-keys, R is reachable.
Toggle hotbars 2-5	(unbound)	Shift+1-Shift+4	Multi-bar players want this.
Mouselook toggle	(unbound)	Mouse 3 (middle click)	See "Mouselook" below.

Save these once on your first character; the same EQClient.ini carries forward.

Hotbar 1-12 mapping

1–9 then 0 cover slots 1-10 of hotbar 1 by default. Slots 11/12 are unbound — bind - and =, or Mouse 4 and Mouse 5. For multi-bar setups, the standard is Shift+1–Shift+0 for hotbar 2 and Ctrl+1–Ctrl+0 for hotbar 3. RoF2 supports modifier keybinds natively.

Pet command keys

For Beastlord, Magician, Necromancer, Shadow Knight, and charm-Enchanter — defaults are menu-only; veterans bind directly:

Command	Key	Use
Pet attack	\ or G	Send pet at target
Pet back	Shift+\	Recall pet
Pet hold	Ctrl+\	Pet stops, waits
Pet guard	Alt+\	Pet holds position

/pet sit and /pet focus are easier on hotbar slots via macros.

Camera and mouselook

F9 cycles camera modes; hold right-mouse for click-and-drag mouselook; mousewheel zooms in 3rd person. The single change worth making: bind a key or middle-click to toggle persistent mouselook so you steer with the mouse like a modern FPS, no held button required.

Quick-load keybind profile

Keybinds live in EQClient.ini. Copy the [Keybindings] section to clone to a new character, or copy the whole file across installs — it's platform-portable, so Mac and Windows can swap freely.

Mac vs PC notes

The Mac launcher runs RoF2 through CrossOver / Whisky-bundled Wine. Cmd reads as Ctrl, Option reads as Alt. F1–F12 may need Fn on a MacBook unless you flip System Settings → Keyboard → Use F1, F2 as standard function keys. Caps Lock as autorun is a common Mac veteran setup. No The Last Camp-specific requirements.

The Last Camp any-race-class note

Keybinds are class-agnostic — a Halfling Wizard binds identically to a High Elf Wizard. Off-canon caster combos may render unusual cast animations (cosmetic — see Faction & Custom Combos) but timings and bindings are identical to canonical.

Common mistakes

• A as autoattack with WASD strafe. Strafe-left fires autoattack. Remap one.
• Not binding jump. RoF2 doesn't bind Spacebar by default.
• Forgetting F8. Target nearest NPC is the most-used pulling key.
• Editing EQClient.ini while logged in. Client overwrites on logout. Edit while camped.
