Within the Ragnorok Online interface you can utilise shortcut keys (or Hot Keys) to help speed up game play and make simple tasks a little easyer and faster to complete. Shortcut keys, just like in wondows, are a combination key press of 2 or 3 keys at the same time. They dont nesecery need to be pressed AT the same moment, just held down at the same time.
Example. Hold down “ALT” key and then press “a” will Open your status window. Repeated pressing of “a” will toggle the window On and Off
Opening and Assigning Shortcut keys Bar
Press F12 to Open the Key bar. Reapeatedly pressing F12 will open upto 4 bars. You will notice the top line has the F numbers next to them, this will be the F key you need to press for that button to activate. You can then drag a skill like First aid into this box from the Skills window and you have assigned First aid to the F1 key, it should look like this:
Rows 2,3 and 4 can be used as just Hot Bars or assigned to a new Shortcut key (or Hot Keys) from the “Shortcut Settings” Window
Accessing the Shortcut Key Settings Window
To assign more short cuts to your Key Bar you will need to to press “Esc” to open the Game settings menu
Now click “Shortcut Configuration” and you will see this menu. Here you can Assign more Skills and Slash Commands to Hot Keys to further taylor your GUI. You will also find here the “Interface options” that further remind you about Ragnarok Slash Commands and Ragnarok Online Emotes. These can then be atatched to shortcuts keys (or Hot Keys) and then dragged onto your Hot bar.
Not all Short cut keys (or Hot Keys) work on all versions of Ragnarok and some features requires a certain character level, feature or ability. Example, Alt + G will not work unless you are in a Guild.
