Ever Wished To change The Keybinds On Runescape? Look no further!

​

Radiates' Guide to Runescape Keybindings​

If this has already been posted i appologise in advance.
I've been sitting back enjoying the benefits I gain from browsing the sythe forum but i've never given anything back, hopefully this guide will be usefull to some people and therefore will repay everything that sythe has provided me.​

Anyway...the guide
Table of Contents
1 - What are keybinds?
2 - Why should you change your keybinds?
3 - How do i change the keybinds?
4 - Example of my keybinds

What are keybinds?
The majority will know what keybinds are but just to ensure completeness I will explain what they are.
keyboard shortcut or hotkey is a finite set of one or more keys that invoke a software or operating system operation when triggered by the user.

Why should you change your keybinds?​

Keybinding is essential for certain types of gameplay on runescape such as pking and PvM. But it also helps alot when skilling because you can bank/drop items/empty pouches/fill pouches much faster therefore leveling faster. Keybinds are essential for Pvp especially when hybridding, this is because you need to be able to switch gear and wack out the spec wep asap.​

​

How do i change keybinds?
First and foremost you will need software called Keytweak, their may be other possibly better ones out there but this is one I use and works perfectly.



Download Here

Firstly select the key you want to remap and check to what it is currently mapped too, as you can see this key is mapped to Numpad 1.


Then go to Keyboard Controls and select the function you wish that button to carry out.



Then click remap keys and it should go to the Pending Changes box displayed on the bottom right hand side of it. Once you have selected all of the buttons you want to remap simply press apply which will then ask to restart the computer for the keys to remap.

​

My keybindings​

​

All of my keybindings are placed on the numpad, this is because I still want to be able to type effectively however this is only my opinion everyone prefers different things so keybind whatever you feel comfortable with

The Arrows represent camera movement and the other icons are pritty obvious what they are.

NOTE : Remember when changing a key, the function that was previously on that key no longer excists on that keyboard until you remap it to a different key or set it to default again, I would advise to remap the key that was removed onto the key that is being put onto that one. For example you want to remap W to Up arrow, when you do this W will no longer excist but the up arrow will have two keys, so remap the up arrow to W so when your typing passwords or anything it is still possible. This is the main reason i advise to use the numpad because its rarely used when gaming.

When you no longer want the Keybinds just press set to default and everything will be changed back to normal.

Vouches appreciated

Thanks

 

WOW! Great guide But, if you would get a mod to check the link and see about the download, if it's safe this is an amazing guid eand i might use it :3 Could come in handy when dropping ores while mining

 

Thanks for the advice, if you use this guide I would appreciate a vouch thanks

 

Not vouch worthy.

 

could you get banned for using this

 

no, not at all. Jajex made the keybinds, this simply changes the position of them

 

Is this like mousekeys?

 

similar to mousekeys.

not worth a vouch IMO. You took words that could easily be from a youtube video so, doesnt really matter.

ill check the dl now.

 

Can't ask/imply for vouches.

OT: Not a bad guide at all.

I might try it out for Power Mining.

 

Helpful guide, well put together.

It's somewhat similar to sharpkeys, if I'm not mistaken.

 

nice guide, reckon ill try this out

 

Thanks guys

 

All the informationm is from my own research, no youtube video.

 

I'll give it a try see how it turns out for me.

 

Thanks, this should be useful for my pking

 

Thanks mate GREAT guide ! easy to understand and it works!

 

Thanks no problem.

 

Nice guide but what's hard about clicking f1 f2 f3 f4 f5?

 

moving the buttons closer to your camera makes it easy to brid/pk. But everyone has there own opinion, some people may prefer to keep the original binds.

 

Wow! Excellent guide man, really!

I used the F-Keys often for switching between my tabs but it can get tiresome, and before the update where your mouse-scroll could be used to rotate the camera, it was a pain to have to move my left hand from F-Keys to the arrow keys to change camera, then back to F-Keys (especially if I was looking at the screen not the keyboard, as the keys don't really 'stick out' on my laptop so its hard to guide your hand to them).

This program you suggested looks super simple, and I love your suggested layout for the keys! I really think I am going to be downloading this tonight if the link is safe, so I can remap my keys and start practicing using them

Once again, excellent guide man, thanks! Just a quick suggestion - get a mod or OGV to just verify that download link so people feel a bit safer, then post the quote of their comment under the DL button so that people are not hesitant.
