Actions bind a keyboard key to a single programmed action. For example, pressing the "1" key may warm a firebolt spell, while pressing the "2" key may cast Shadowstep. You can quickly follow up to cast your spell, rather than double clicking, by pressing the grave key.

Commands bind a keyboard key to a single command. For example, pressing the "p" key may execute "take 1 ring off left" - allowing you to quickly exit a battle with a recall ring. Typing out the command manually might get you killed.

Hotkeys are essential for playing fast-paced action games, as they allow quick access to the game's functions. With hotkeys, adventurers can control their character's movements, activate special abilities, and switch between weapons and items without having to take their hands off the keyboard. Hotkeys help make adventuring more efficient, and they can also help players make quicker decisions in the heat of battle. Given the fast-paced action of certain facets, hotkeys can help surviving their many dangers, even for those of you near 90 years old.

There are two types of hotkey definitions: Actions and Commands.

Commands

Commands bind a keyboard key to a single command. For example, pressing the "p" key may execute "take 1 ring off left" - allowing you to quickly exit a battle with a recall ring. Typing out the command manually might get you killed.
